Wellness Zone
The Wellness Zone is back for 2026 bigger and better to restore and rejuvenate our bodies, provide learning on all things wellness and to have fun outside in nature while doing it all!
What to Expect at the Wellness Zone
The Taupo Trail Festival will once again have a line-up of amazing classes to warm up, stretch and rejuvenate your bodies - you know, the stuff we should be doing regularly, but probably aren’t!! You might even see the girls on the stage.
We have a great selection of classes lead by Bex and Rachel at Studio.two. This Taupo pair are super knowledgeable in the areas of stretching, pilates, yoga etc. We are lucky to have Rach and Bex back for another year.
Aimed at anyone with a body, they will cater for beginners - advanced of all ages.
No need to book into these classes, just come along with your mat (if you have one - no worries if not) and join in. These classes are open to all, not just participants of the events.

We couldn’t do it without these absolute legends!
It’s really simple, these events don’t happen without the commitment and support of a whole bunch of cool people, and organisations that share the vision of what we are trying to achieve. We are so grateful to those who got on board, and believe, like we do, the benefits of getting people into the outdoors and nature - and for their support of Total Sport. Some of these partners have been with us for a very long time, and feel like family, and some are newbies. Please support them wherever you can, as their support enables us to do what we do, which means you get to do what you love to do - everyone wins!!
