Embodied Collective
About Us
At Embodied Collective, we believe in creating a home for growth — body, mind, business, and beyond. Our work is rooted in the idea that when we move with purpose, breathe with awareness, and connect with curiosity, we unlock the possibility of living a truly embodied life.
We hold two core branches under our collective:
🌿 Embodied Co. Yoga Academy – For those ready to deepen their practice, find their voice, and lead with integrity through our transformative yoga teacher training programs, mentorships, and retreats.
🤍 Maiden Mama – For mothers and mothers-to-be navigating the sacred transition into parenthood, offering guidance, community, and holistic support from preconception through postpartum.

Our Mission
To empower every student, teacher, and mother who enters our space to trust their body, honour their journey, and cultivate tools for a life lived fully — grounded, curious, and connected.
Our Philosophy
We blend Eastern traditions with modern evidence-based practices, creating a balance between the sacred and the practical.
We believe yoga is for every body - and every stage of life.
We believe motherhood is a rite of passage that deserves support, reverence, and honest conversation. And we believe that when we each embody our own healing, we create ripples of change far beyond ourselves.
Meet Renée
Hi, I’m Renee Murray, founder of Embodied Collective, yoga therapist, teacher trainer, postpartum doula, and mum of two little ones, Charlotte and Alfie.
My own path to this work wasn’t straightforward. For more than 15 years, I lived with debilitating pain and was misdiagnosed with endometriosis. I was told I might never conceive naturally. That news, coupled with miscarriage and countless hospital visits, left me feeling disconnected from my body - and from hope.
When I discovered yoga, I didn’t come to it looking for answers. I came looking for relief. What I found was so much more. Through breath, movement, and self-inquiry, I began to trust my body again. I found the space to heal - not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.
That personal transformation set me on a new path. I trained as a yoga teacher, then as a teacher trainer, and yoga therapist Then built a career sharing yoga with others around the world. But when I became a mother, everything shifted again.
Motherhood cracked me open - in the most beautiful and the most challenging ways. I experienced induction, NICU stays, diastasis recti, and the quiet, messy moments no one prepares you for. It made me passionate about supporting other women through this rite of passage - with honesty, compassion, and tools that truly help.
Embodied Collective grew from all of this - the teacher, the mother, the student, the seeker. It’s a space where aspiring yoga teachers can train with integrity and depth. It’s a space where mothers can find support, connection, and a reminder that they are not alone.
This isn’t just my work. It’s my life’s calling.
