MerryBody

MerryBody is an online yoga and pilates platform founded by sisters Emma and Carla Papas, who launched the project in 2013 after leaving their government careers to pursue an independent wellness business. The school is built around a philosophy of movement that meets students where they are � focusing on how you feel rather than how you look, with an emphasis on self-acceptance, joy, and sustainable practice.

The platform offers 800+ yoga, pilates, and meditation classes alongside a structured 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training certified by Yoga Alliance (RYT-200). The teacher training curriculum spans six modules covering yoga history and philosophy, asana and pranayama, anatomy and physiology, the subtle body, teaching methodology, and business and ethics.

MerryBody operates as themerrymakersisters.com and is based in Australia, serving a global student community through their School of MerryBody online platform. The founders also host the Get Merry Podcast and create ongoing recipe and wellness content.

  • Lilly Winslow

    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. 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.

  • Sue Mackenzie-Smith

    I started this training with the intention to learn to live with internal peace. Plus, I'm now teaching classes within the corporate office I work at! Through the training I have learned to love myself more, be myself, and to be authentic.

  • Rana Catlow

    I love Yoga and everything about MerryBody. I thought, if I love yoga that much, why not become a teacher? Now I'm teaching every week at my local gym! The flexible online training environment was perfect for me, and I would absolutely recommend it to others.

    I was inspired, supported and motivated by Carla and Emma as well as the community. I felt like I was truly a part of something special, instead of just a number and even though it’s called Merry ‘Body’, my mind and soul also benefited so much from this experience. MerryBody is MAGIC!

  • Nicole

    Emma and Carla provide individual support too which is just amazing! Physically I feel stronger and more flexible. I’ve noticed my posture has improved and I’ve been getting compliments from people in my life that I am looking healthier.
