Why did we switch to Arketa?

New Year's is all about the concept of "out with the old and in with the new" and we are embracing that sentiment here at Studieaux Heaux.  The first big change of 2025 is to the software we use to fuel our scheduling and website.   We have been with a company called Wellness Living for a long time now, and that time has come to an end.  In the new year we are ushering in a partnership with Arketa.

Here is what you can look forward to with this new platform:

On-Demand Video Library

Did you miss that workshop?  Couldn't come to the special class? Forgot how to do that skill you learned last week?  All of this (and more) will (eventually) be available to all members in our On-Demand Video Library.  The sky is the limit with the extra nuggets we will be able to provide for you. 

Live Online Classes

In 2025 we will be bringing you all your favorite Studieaux Heaux signature classes LIVE and online (and then they will go in the On-Demand Video Library).  If you can't make, no worries you can join at home.  Gotta friend in Saskatoon who just can't make it to South Carolina anytime soon? No worries, they can join online.  This feature is going to allow our amazing instructors to go global and I think the world is ready.

Communities

The Communities feature on Arekta is going to be a game changer for sure.  Here's how it will work (just an example).  Our Handstand class is once a month right now.   It's a cool class, but what do you do the other 3 weeks?  How can you hold yourself accountable to practice what you learn in class?  That is where the communities come into play.  We can create a Handstand community that is open for anyone who has taken the class to join.  In this space we can post a weekly stretch or exercise that you can do at home to add to your training.  We can also allow you to upload your videos for bragging rights to the group or for feedback. We can also have a specific handstand related chat group just between members to keep the conversation on point.  The possibility for communities is endless and I am excited to think through how we can use the function to support you.

Brand New Website
Praise Be, we will be rolling out a brand new website with Arketa.  A website that I have designed for the way Studieaux Heaux functions.  It is easier to navigate AND so much easier for the world to find all that we offer.  Our current website sort of hides all the good stuff making it difficult to find the private parties we offer, private training and even the events and workshops.

In general, I think this switch to Arketa is going to propel the studio and I am very excited.  I admit that there will probably be bumps along the way, there always are, but the end result is going to be amazing.
