Welcome to Embodied Co. Yoga Academy
Where real transformation meets grounded teaching
Train with purpose. Teach with presence. Live embodied.
Welcome to the Academy
This is more than a yoga teacher training. It’s a journey of coming home to yourself.
At Embodied Co. Yoga Academy, we blend ancient philosophy with modern science, personal practice with community connection, and structure with soul. Whether you’re ready to teach, or simply want to deepen your relationship with yoga, you’ll walk away with tools that go far beyond the mat.
Our training honours the full human experience — not just performance, but presence. You’ll gain the skills to guide others with authenticity and clarity, and most importantly, the confidence to lead from your own embodied truth.
What Makes Us Different
Hybrid learning model: Live Zoom sessions, optional in-person retreats, and flexible module delivery
Small, supportive cohorts: Intimate groups to foster trust, growth, and real feedback
Body-positive & trauma-aware: Learn how to teach inclusively, adapt practices, and hold safe space
Evidence-informed: Grounded in modern anatomy and functional movement, not just tradition
Soulful and practical: Learn how to build your own sequences, develop a sustainable teaching path, and stay connected to the heart of the practice, and walk away with ACTUAL teaching experience under your belt - so you feel confident to teach straight away.
Meet the Principal and Founder, Renèe
Hi, I’m Renee — founder of Embodied Co. and principal of the academy.
With over 15 years of experience in the personal training, wellness, and yoga therapy space, my journey has taken me from personal training and pre/postnatal coaching to becoming an ERYT-500, certified yoga therapist, and lead trainer of a well-established yoga school in Australia.
During my years as lead trainer, I guided hundreds of students through in-person trainings, then pivoted to a fully online model during the COVID lockdowns — a shift that deepened my understanding of how to create meaningful, connected learning experiences in the digital space. After stepping back to grow my family (two babies in two years!), I’m now returning to the work I love, offering my own teacher training — one that’s truly aligned with my values, voice, and vision, whilst still being able to nurture my family.
But beyond the titles and trainings, I’ve walked through burnout, healing, birth, and business — and emerged with a deep belief that yoga is a lifelong tool for self-connection, resilience, and transformation. My approach has always been the same: meet people where they are, and walk with them from there.
Embodied Co. Yoga Academy was born from a desire to do things differently — to teach from both the body and the books, to offer honest mentorship, and to support diverse students in becoming the kind of teachers the world genuinely needs: compassionate, curious, and deeply embodied.
I can’t wait to walk this path with you.
