A huge welcome to Karina Farry 🤍

Karina is a classically trained Pilates teacher who has been teaching since long before Pilates became the household name it is today. Her depth of knowledge and experience is something truly special, and we’re so happy to have her joining the Village.

Karina will be teaching Monday mornings, and with her arrival we’re also introducing a slightly revised Monday schedule:
✨ 6:00AM
✨ 8:30AM
✨ 9:30AM

Karina will also be offering 1:1 private Pilates sessions at the studio.

Say hello if you see her around the studio, and check the schedule or speak with Karina for more information on private classes.

Hello everyone,
We’re looking for an experienced reformer teacher to join our team at Village Yoga & Pilates Coolum for 2 Saturday morning classes a week.

Competitive class rates, great team and membership to the yoga and reformer studios included.

Please DM Kat for more info and to arrange a trial class.

Strength and flexibility are often treated as separate goals, but biomechanically they are inseparable.

Flexibility without strength is difficult to control. Strength without flexibility eventually becomes limiting. Your body doesn’t just need range — it needs the ability to support, stabilise, and move through that range with ease.

This is where movement variety becomes incredibly important. Different movement practices challenge the body (not to mention the mind) in different ways. Some develop strength and stability. Others develop flexibility, space, and awareness.

The real objective isn’t achieving the perfect Humble Warrior or executing a flawless Bird Dog. It’s about building a body that feels good to live in — one that remains capable, adaptable, and resilient over time.

Quality lifespan is shaped by how we move, how we load our tissues, and how we maintain balance between strength and flexibility.

All movement is good movement but ideally, mix it up. Yoga, Pilates, beach walks, surfing, boxing — it's all good!!

Awesome Mat Pilates class with Mercia this morning 🤍

Lots of grunts, giggles, sweat and shakes. I’ve been doing so much Reformer lately that I’d honestly forgotten how incredibly challenging (and fun) Mat Pilates is.

You can join Mercia for Mat Pilates at 7:15am Tuesdays and 6:00am Fridays, or with Hang at 7:00am Sundays.

Your body loves to move in different ways, and mixing things up is one of the best things you can do for strength, mobility, coordination and your nervous system. Different styles of movement create different adaptations — physically and mentally.

So maybe the question is…
Are you ready to mix things up a bit? ✨

At Village, we like to keep things simple and flexible.

We have a deep commitment to making daily movement and mindfulness practices accessible to as many people as possible. That means affordable pricing, lots of options, and no pressure to lock yourself into something that doesn’t suit your life.

We can’t offer you all the fancy extras like showers, coffee machines, saunas or ice baths… but we can offer you incredible teachers who will know your name and your body, thoughtfully and super well equipped studios in a location where you’ll get a car park year round, and a genuinely welcoming environment.

We’re biased for sure, but we truly believe Village is something special — a real, local community, run by locals, for locals.

If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to welcome you in.

Here’s your updated Village weekly schedule — and it’s a good one!!

We’re so happy to have Zenthai Flow back on the timetable and to welcome Sal Meredith back into the studio. We’ve also added some beautiful Qi Gong classes with Hang Nhan, which have already been incredibly popular, and there’s now a 90-minute Guided Ashtanga Primary with Mercia Cloete on Saturday mornings.

Our Reformer Pilates schedule is packed, with loads of options for mindful movement, strength, and consistency across the week. AND jump board is back!

The sweet spot at Village is of course the combo of yoga and Pilates. We’ve made sure there are plenty of opportunities to do a Reformer class followed by yoga, Qi Gong, mat Pilates (or vice versa) if your schedule allows. And if not, just mix it up across the week — your body will thank you.

Also keep an eye out for our private class and treatment options, and stay tuned for another post with the full schedule including:
– Zenthai therapy with Becky, Sal and Yuta
– Acupressure with Hang
– Reiki with Maureen
– PEMF with Becky

✨ Village turns 3 ✨
What a ride it’s been.
In just three years, we’ve gone from Village Yoga Coolum in a tiny, windowless studio wedged between a tobacconist and a very noisy wok shop… to Village Yoga & Pilates Coolum, now home to two spacious, quiet first-floor studios — one for yoga and mat Pilates, and one for Reformer Pilates.
If this journey has taught me anything, it’s this: never say never, trust your gut, surround yourself with good humans — and my long-suffering husband Joe is really sick of doing studio fit-outs 😂
I also can’t let this moment pass without a huge shout-out to the incredible humans who make up the Village teaching team. I’m so proud of us. We truly are a well-oiled machine. Our team is wonderfully diverse, but everyone shares one powerful thing in common: this work is their true dharma. It’s not just a job — it’s a calling, and a deep commitment to supporting others to feel better in their bodies and lives.
Village simply wouldn’t be what it is without them — or without our amazing energy-exchange team who keep the studios sparkling and the props beautifully cared for.
And to our members — thank you. To everyone who keeps turning up, saying yes to the wild and wonderful things we add to the schedule, putting themselves out there, and leaning into this community — we love you, and you are the reason we keep showing up.
And even though it’s our birthday… the presents are for you 🎁
Until 28 Feb, anyone who:
• purchases an All-In Unlimited Annual Pass (incredible value at just $2600), or
• secures one of the last 5 spots on our Sri Lanka Yoga & Reformer Pilates Retreat happening in May
will receive a 1:1 service of their choice on us.
Choose from Zenthai Shiatsu, Acupressure or Reiki, a 1:1 Yoga or Reformer session, or a PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy) session with Becky.
DM us or email hello@villageyogacoolum.com.au for more info.
A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of this little Village — past and present 🤍
Here’s to the next chapter.

Village Community Food Drive for OzHarvest 🤍

At Village, yoga isn’t just something we practice on the mat.
It’s something we live.

In the tradition of karma yoga, yoga is expressed through action — how we show up, contribute, and care for others in everyday life. Seva, which means selfless service, is a natural expression of this: offering time, energy, or resources for the benefit of others, without expectation of return.

With that in mind, we’re inviting our community to come together to support an OzHarvest food drive.

🧺 How to get involved
Starting this Friday 6 Feb, please place food donations in the collection box at Village Yoga & Pilates. We'll keep collecting until 25 February.

What OzHarvest can accept:
• Non-perishable food such as pasta and rice
• Canned fruit, vegetables, and tuna
• Tinned or jarred sauces and casseroles
• Cereals, biscuits, and muesli bars
• Tea and coffee
👉 Ring-pull cans are preferred.

Please don’t donate:
• Any products containing alcohol (including wine or wine vinegar)
• Long-life items more than 30 days past their best-before date

Depending on how we go with donations, we may also invite people to gather at the studio to pack the food into family-size hampers, which we’ll then deliver to OzHarvest the following day.

Let's see if our little Village can make a big impact.

💬 If you’d be interested in helping pack hampers, comment below.
💬 If you’d like to be part of regular community volunteering activities through Village, let us know — and please share any ideas you have. We see this as a meaningful way to connect, give back, and support our local community.

We’re all very fortunate, and this feels like a beautiful way to share the love 🤍
Thank you for being part of this community.
