"This practice was great. The transitions were very clear and I was able to do all the exercises with just a little bit of difficulty. What I really liked was that the instructor gave instructions in detail like when to squeeze the abs and when to imagine a wall behind you when you're standing. I found that really helpful." - Mara "Omg I LOVED IT! I do Pilates all the time (weekly) at home. This was the best session I’ve taken maybe ever! You guys did it again!

Nova Cycle is a hormonal wellness coach built around one big idea: your daily choices should change with your hormones. Most period apps simply count down to your next bleed. Nova Cycle does something different. It tells you, every single day, exactly how to eat, how to move, what to focus on, how much rest you need, and how to manage your social energy — calibrated to whichever of the four hormonal phases you are in today. This is Cycle Syncing, and it is the entire point of the app. YOUR DAILY SYNC FOCUS The first thing you see when you open Nova Cycle is Today's Sync Focus — a single, prescriptive action chosen to match your current phase. "Eat fermented foods today." "Do a high-intensity workout today." "Wind down an hour earlier tonight." This is your one job today, and it rotates so the home screen never gets stale. THE FIVE PILLARS OF CYCLE SYNC Every phase changes how you should approach the five fundamentals of daily life: • FUEL — Phase-matched nutrition, from iron-rich foods in menstruation to anti-inflammatory choices in ovulation • MOVE — The right exercise intensity at the right time: rest, build, peak, taper • FOCUS — Leverage your cognitive peaks for the work that matters • REST — Sleep needs shift with your hormones; align your wind-down rituals • CONNECT — Social energy is a cycle too; protect it or share it accordingly 7-DAY ENERGY FORECAST See your projected energy levels for the week ahead, based on the phases your body is moving through. Schedule presentations and HIIT classes in your peak; schedule deep rest and gentle work in your trough. Plan your life with your biology, not against it. THE FOUR PHASES • Menstrual — Rest & Restore. Low energy. Reflection, restorative movement, warming foods, deep sleep. • Follicular — Build & Explore. Rising energy. Strength training, fresh foods, learning new things. • Ovulation — Peak Performance. High energy. HIIT, charisma, high-stakes conversations. • Luteal — Wind Down. Tapering energy. Complex carbs, steady cardio, detail work, more sleep. WHAT NOVA CYCLE IS NOT Nova Cycle is not a period tracker disguised as wellness — it is wellness coaching that happens to use your cycle as the input signal. You log your cycle so the daily guidance is correct. Period prediction, fertile window, and symptom logging are supporting features, not the headline.
