Village Wellness is more than a pilates & yoga studio. We have built a Motherhood Community. Our unique Pregnancy Reformer Pilates and Mums & Bubs classes are specifically designed to support women in both body and mind — for optimal health and wellbeing.

Our beautiful studio is a safe, judgement-free and fun environment for mums to move their bodies, breathe mindfully, stretch and strengthen — and meet other mums as well. Our Village kitchen is stocked with tea and cookies so you can make a cuppa, sit on the couch, and soak up the good vibes!

Baby’s first home

Did you know… we offer the only dedicated Mums & Bubs group Reformer Pilates on the Surf Coast?

Your body is the first home your baby will ever know. It is also the incredible vehicle that grows, nourishes and births your baby into this world. It makes sense to look after it pre and postnatal. Mums need this for their own physical and mental wellbeing, so put yourself first and connect with our Motherhood Village.

At Village Birth, the classes are small and intimate to provide hands-on support and quality instruction. Come as you are — sleep deprived, oily hair, ugg boots or crying baby — we will get you moving. Expect warmth, laughter, connection and down-to-earth conversations in a relaxed environment. It’s more than just exercise!

Let our experts help you strengthen, stretch, bend and breathe in all the ways that are relevant to pregnancy, birth and mum life.

There are many physical changes that occur to a body during pregnancy and new motherhood, which is why exercises need to be modified for safety and individual needs. Knowing you are being guided with attention, care and someone with experience is important.

“I started pilates with Village Birth when I was 4 months pregnant. It was a priority for me to stay fit throughout my pregnancy and I had heard that the reformer was amazing for functional movement and stability. Since taking two classes a week with Talia, my body and mind are now in a great place. Talia is a phenomenal teacher. She was able to modify the exercises for me when I started having pelvic issues later in my pregnancy and her warmth and kindness makes the studio a wonderful place to be. I’ve also met other amazing pregnant women there too! I can’t recommend her classes enough for staying well during pregnancy.”
