We See All of You
Our mission is to improve your quality of life with movement, holistic health, community, and heart-centred care.
What makes the Village unique?
The Village was born from a deep calling to create a safe space where people of all ages and stages in life could feel comfortable moving their bodies in a supportive, nurturing environment. A studio where people would look forward to exercise instead of dread it, and where self-care became a priority.
Safe, Inclusive Exercise Options
In a world of growing franchise fitness with a ‘quantity over quality’ approach, we offer the community an alternative. Village Wellness understands the importance of helping people slow down, move well, and connect their minds and bodies for optimal wellbeing. This essence is at the core of everything we do.
We are incredibly proud of what we’ve built, and are deeply grateful to every person who has walked through our doors and helped shape our community.
Designed to feel like a second home, our boutique wellness studio is led by exceptional and experienced instructors, with intimate class sizes so you get the attention you deserve.
Our carefully selected instructors and wellness therapists are all highly qualified and experienced because we believe this matters. We care deeply about how you move your body, and our goal is for everyone who walks through our doors to train safely and leave feeling stronger, happier, more empowered and confident in their body.
Beyond the Village
Explore the projects, places and offerings that carry the spirit of Village Wellness into the wider world.
Village Wellness founder Talia Avenell and her partner Jem Fuller — a global leadership coach, author and two-time TEDx speaker specialising in conscious communication — have been quietly working away in the background on setting up their own not-for-profit (NFP) charity called ‘The Centre Of Love’.
They are currently raising the funds to build the Centre Of Love on land they were gifted high in their beloved Indian Himalayan mountains, where Talia and Jem have been running bespoke leadership retreats together for the past 9 years.
The Centre Of Love will be a beautiful retreat and meditation center built in the traditional Himalayan style and imbued with love, that brings great minds together to help solve some of the world’s biggest issues, while giving back to the local communities in need.
We are incredibly excited about what this centre and charity will bring to so many people’s lives. Not only are we building a physical facility for people to have incredible, life-defining experiences in, but we are helping the next generation of young people with education and more access to opportunities they may not have otherwise had living in remote regions. It’s about giving back where you can make a real difference and where the ripples keep flowing onwards.
