Take a look at the schedule overview…
I joined the training to not only improve my own practice but to teach in my Mum's studio. I'm now certified and already teaching every week. MBTT impacted my life in so many ways. It taught me a lot about Yoga but also myself, it helped me connect to my soul and resonate deeper with my practice. The constant affirmation from Emma and Carla boosted my confidence and motivated me to complete the course. The kindness and support made the course less stressful and even more enjoyable than I expected. I enjoyed literally everything about the training. Every module and topic was interesting, and I found joy in every part of it. The flexible online training environment was perfect, allowing me to continue my education throughout my pregnancy and in the early months of my little bubba's life. The training was life-changing and if you're thinking of joining, it's the best thing you'll ever do!
MBTT Graduate
I started this training with the intention to learn to live with internal peace. To let go of judgement – of others and of myself. I wanted to learn how to release myself from comparison. Now that I have graduated, I believe that I am well on the way to maintaining this as often as possible. Plus, I'm now teaching classes within the corporate office I work at! I loved everything about MBTT, I loved that I could do it anytime, anywhere and at my own pace. And the feedback was always so positive and uplifting. Through the training I have learned to love myself more, be myself, and to be authentic. This has been a time where I thought I would just learn more about Yoga – the history and how to do the poses more effectively. But this has been so much more, and will continue to resonate through me and with me as I keep practicing and learning. I am so grateful to have found Carla, Emma and MerryBody. The work that they have put into the course, plus the time given to all of us who have now formed such a strong bond, is amazing. My life is so much better for what, and who, I now know.
MBTT Graduate
I love Yoga and everything about MerryBody. I thought, if I love yoga that much, why not become a teacher? Every module was valuable in its own right and provided me with a well-rounded knowledge of all that Yoga encompasses. Designing our own classes and then getting the feedback felt especially valuable. The course covered everything really well, offering a wealth of information. My biggest takeaway is the realisation that I can do it! Carla and Emma were so encouraging, and I loved how they shared their own real-life experiences as teachers. Seeing videos of their journey from the beginning to now made me feel like I can grow and become more experienced over time. Now I'm teaching every week at my local gym! I enjoyed everything about the training, especially the Sunday night live calls and the community page, which were both great and helpful. The flexible online training environment was perfect for me, and I would absolutely recommend it to others. Thank you, girls, for going above and beyond. You are amazing!

We have this very clear memory. We’d just started our side business, we were in our early 20s, it was a grey and cold Canberra morning, we were driving to our 9-5 government jobs. On the way to work, the same route we’d driven day after day… we felt this overwhelming sense of quiet dread.
It all led to this question…
“Isn’t there meant to be more to life?”
You see, we fell fast into that 9-5 motion of life. Wake up, work, go to the gym, make dinner, sleep, repeat. Count down to the weekend. Sunday night blues. In our limited spare time we did as much work as possible on our side business.
On paper, our jobs were amazing. The salary, job titles, security and superannuation were all great! But we didn’t care about the work we were doing so we didn’t feel a sense of fulfilment. We didn’t enjoy the work, therefore, we felt flat.
Soon after this conversation we discovered the philosophies of Joseph Campbell, we heard these words…
“Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” Joseph Campbell
And that’s when we realised we’d found our bliss! It was themerrymakersisters.com (our side business!) That’s when we took the big step into the unknown. We quit those jobs and began to create our own path.
Now, after 10 years of business, many forks in the road, we’re here to help you follow YOUR bliss.
Are you ready to take the first step towards a more fulfilling and empowered life through Yoga?
Why? Because we’ve dedicated the last 10 years of our lives to the ins and outs of online content creation and business. Yes, we built the multiple 6 figure online business, but more importantly, we know what works and what doesn’t work when teaching online.
We know you’ve sat through zoom calls while also scrolling on Instagram. We know you’ve turned your video off and done the house chores during that webinar.
We promise you’ll want to show up 5 minutes early to the MerryBody live calls. You’ll have pages of notes written down after hearing from the stellar MerryBody Teaching Faculty. The online program will be like your new favourite Netflix series, you’ll be pressing next class, next class, next class.
This training program is unlike any other training program you’ve done. You’ll be excited to learn and look forward to every new lesson.
Take a read through our frequently asked questions.
Over 16 weeks, online content will be unlocked week by week. You’ll gain access to the School of MerryBody Platform before the program start day. This is where you’ll find all the MerryBody Teacher Program content, it’s super easy to use, you simply need an internet connection and a device.
If you choose to complete the course in 16 weeks you’ll spend around 12 ½ hours each week immersed in the world of MerryBody (it’s a great place to be!).
The program material is rolled out over 16 weeks but you will have 12 months to complete it. You’ll have access to all recordings for the 12 month duration. During the 16 weeks the community will be high vibe and the live elements will help you stay motivated and accountable. It’s not just about getting a certificate, it’s about learning and having fun!
Don’t worry if you miss a live session! We recommend that you try to attend most but if you miss a couple this is absolutely fine! All live sessions will be recorded and uploaded to the School of MerryBody Platform so you can watch them when it suits you.
The MerryBody 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training is certified with the Yoga Alliance (RYT-200). Once you have completed the program and received your MerryBody certificate, you can then submit this to the Yoga Alliance and register as a teacher with them. You’ll need to complete the MerryBody Teacher Training Program within 12 months to do so.
A 200 Hour Yoga Teacher training program means once you have completed the program, you would have studied for a total of 200 hours. This is a great first training program for new and emerging Yoga Teachers or those that wish to deepen their personal practice.
You’ll need a Yoga mat, a device (laptop, desktop or phone) and an internet connection. You’ll also need to source some required books as program reading material. Further details will be shared prior to the program start date, you will be able to purchase in eBook or hard copy form or borrow from the library.
New courses will be added to the School of MerryBody very soon!
The program includes a range of required assessments. Including journal writing, online quizzes and video presentations. You’ll record your presentations using any camera you have access to, for example, your phone, a digital camera or your laptop/desktop computer. We will teach you how to upload these assessments to a shared folder.
Whether you want to teach or not, having an ‘advanced’ physical Yoga practice has nothing to do with how ‘good’ of a Yoga teacher you can be. In fact, one of our favourite Yoga teachers would simply sit cross legged at the front of the class and guide us through postures, with no demonstration. You will learn within the first 1-3 weeks of this program that Yoga goes far beyond the physical practice.
Firstly, well done! Secondly, every Yoga Teacher Training is different. Our difference is that at the core of everything we teach, is self-acceptance, self-compassion and joy. We also surveyed many people who had done previous Yoga Trainings and they would tell us how when they finished the program they didn’t actually know how to sequence classes or even teach! This is a big focus within our training, we want you to complete this training program with the confidence to create your own classes and actually teach them.
We want to help you feel confident in your decision to sign up to this training program. We know this is not only a considerable financial investment but it’s also an investment of your time.
If you feel a spark, an inkling, well this could be the best reason… to follow your bliss and sign up to the program!
After all, to spend time on the things that light you up is what life is about!
However, if you’re still unsure, for a limited time we are offering a free one-on-one zoom session. During this session we will answer any of your questions about the 200 hour training and give you a little more personal insight into what life is like teaching Yoga. It won’t be a call with a staff member or a sales team member, it will be direct with us!
