More Than Poses. More Than Practice. This Is the Real Yoga.
A 3 Week Online Yoga Teacher Training with the School of MerryBody™. We begin 22 February 2026.
You’ve already experienced how Yoga can change your life. But you know there’s more.
More depth. More meaning. More connection. More alignment.
This is where the Yamas and Niyamas begin.
The Yamas and Niyamas are the heart of Yoga..
They shape: How you teach. How you lead. How you relate. How you live.
They’re not rules. They’re reminders, of who you really are underneath the noise, of who you want to be and of the life you want to live.
You want the answer to: “Why does Yoga make me feel so good?” you want to fully understand why Yoga works. To live it and not just practise it.
To feel more aligned. More confident. More you. This is exactly what our training is about.
This is for you if you’ve ever felt that inkling to go deeper. Maybe you’re not ready for a full 200 hour Yoga teacher training. Or perhaps you’re already certified and you need a reinvigoration into the philosophy… remember, you don’t do one down dog, dust your hands off and say “that’s it!”.
Either way…
You’re here for a reason.
Cohort begins 22 Feb 2026
This is not just something you "study" it's something you live
Over 3 weeks, you’ll be guided through a crafted experience that brings philosophy off the page and into your real life.
You’ll move, breathe, reflect, question and reconnect.
Here’s how it will unfold:
10 hours of intentional practice
Creative asana, meditation and pranayama designed to help you feel what the Yamas and Niyamas actually mean, in your body, your breath and your nervous system.
20+ hours of deep philosophy conversations
No boring lectures allowed. Real, open, heart-led discussions that explore how Yoga works, why it works and how to live it… on and off the mat.
Guided journalling and self-inquiry
Reflective practices to help you uncover, recover and discover who you are beneath the noise, the expectations, and the self-doubt.
Expect your confidence to grow. Expect to gain clarity. You'll complete this journey feeling...
More self-trust
More purpose
More connection
More ease in being you
Less feeling lost
Less second-guessing
Less comparison
Less feeling "not enough"
Oh, and here at MerryBody... you should expect to enjoy the process.
Each week, around 10 hours of training, modules and classes will be unlocked. The joy of online learning allows you to take up to 12 months to complete the program at your own pace. You can go back again and again to re-do your favourite classes.
HEAR FROM OUR PREVIOUS GRADUATES
The course was so thoughtfully and methodically structured. Each week built perfectly on the last, and the 60-minute practice classes for every theme were amazing. The assessments never felt scary, the feedback was always encouraging and genuinely helpful. I actually looked forward to submitting them just to hear back from you both. - Hannah, MBTT Graduate
I initially started the course to deepen my own understanding. But I got so much more out of it. It build my confidence. My awareness of myself and others completely changed. The course was fantastic because you can practice it in your own time. And rewatch things again. The delivery mode was great. - Kirsty, MBTT Graduate
Professional, compassionate and non-judgemental teaching. Clear structure, easy to follow, and inclusive. The personal discussions brought the learning to life, this attention to detail is what makes MBTT so impressive. - Kirsten, MBTT Trainee

FINAL OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE 2026 COHORT
Secure your placement for the MerryBody Yamas and Niyamas Program
The Yamas and Niyamas (the real Yoga) changed our lives.
Before It Ever Became a Course.
Before MerryBody ever existed, before our teacher trainings, there were just two of us trying to make sense of our own lives through Yoga.
When we first learned about the Yamas and Niyamas, we didn’t see them as “rules” or something to memorise. We saw ourselves in them. Our struggles. Our patterns. Our fears. Our hopes. Our desire to live more honestly and more fully.
They met us in moments when we were exhausted. When we were doubting ourselves. When we were trying to decide whether to play it safe or follow what felt true. When we were navigating relationships, business, burnout, growth and change.
Over time, these teachings became something we returned to again and again. Not because we were getting it right, but because they helped us come back to ourselves.
They taught us how to be kinder to ourselves. How to set boundaries. How to trust our intuition. How to choose alignment over approval. How to stay connected to our purpose.
They still guide us every day. In how we lead MerryBody. In how we support our community. In how we make decisions. In how we care for our energy. In how we show up… even when it’s hard.
This course isn’t something we created because it sounded good on paper.
We created it because the Yamas and Niyamas changed our lives.
And we can’t wait to share it with you.
Why This Training Feels So Special
This is the very first time we’re offering this program and we are beyond excited.
We’ve poured everything we know and love about the Yamas and Niyamas into this… the heart, the philosophy, the lived experience, the practical guidance, brought together to help you grow in your practice, your teaching and your life.
Imagine how it’s going to feel… when your confidence grows and when clarity lands. You’ll understand why you fell in love with Yoga in the first place (spoiler: it’s nothing to do with down dog!).
This is your chance to step into the heart of Yoga. To be part of something we know has the potential to change how you move, teach and live.
We’re Extremely Confident in our Ability to Teach You Online.
Why? Because we’ve dedicated the last 13 years of our lives to the ins and outs of online content creation and business. Yes, we’ve built courses, apps, websites, ebooks… 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, that you’ll have pages of notes written down after experiencing the discussions.
Feeling Ready But Have a Few Questions?

Over 3 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 3 weeks you’ll spend around 10 hours each week immersed in the world of MerryBody (it’s a great place to be!).
The program material is rolled out over 3 weeks but you will have 12 months to complete it. You’ll have access to all recordings for the 12 month duration. During the 3 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.
This training counts toward the School of MerryBody 300 hour pathway as well as Continuing Education hours, certified with the Yoga Alliance.
You’ll need a Yoga mat, a device (laptop, desktop or phone) and an internet connection.
Currently we have the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training and Yin Yoga Teacher Training available.
