Everything you need to know

Bodylove Academy is unique in its blend of theory and practical learning. All of our full-length courses are comprised of in-person weekend workshops or intensives. This enables you to complete a lot of your studies in your own time. During the in-person workshops, there is a big focus on putting theory into practice with plenty of opportunities to practice teaching your new craft to your peers. These courses are grounded in anatomy and our aim is for you to graduate with a thorough understanding of the biomechanics of movement when translated to exercise.

Bodylove Academy is run from our Penthouse studio. The Bodylove Penthouse is located at 222 Clarence St - Level 8 Sydney, 2000.
