Testimonials:
“Training at Fringe.Yoga was an amazing experience for me for many reasons. Firstly, Jodie is a fantastic teacher - she is knowledgeable, engaging and approachable and I feel as though I learned so much and really developed my confidence. Furthermore, I researched many yoga courses before deciding to go with Fringe, not only because it was the best value for money compared to other yoga teacher trainings and had a detailed curriculum, but because I had been told repeatedly by many different people how amazing the Fringe.Yoga classes were. But more than that, the course offered a sense of community and I have made life long friends with a group of incredible, like minded people. After the course ends Jodie and all the other Fringe.Yoga graduates are on hand to offer advice and answer any and all questions that I had about life as a yoga teacher after training. In short, the time I spent doing my ITT, was inspiring, fun and informative and I would recommend it to anyone looking to train as a yoga teacher.”
— Mia Bull ( FYTT Grad 2019)
“With my hand on my heart I can honesly say the FYTT method is the most well balanced training I have undertaken. Although I have now trained with several teachers worldwide, my roots always come back to Jodie's teachings and the Fringe Yoga Method. The fringe method has without a doubt given me the tools and knowledge to create well balanced classes, accessible themes and a unique platform for me to build from as a teacher.
If you are considering changing your life and you are willing to be open to change, and make lifelong friends and connections, then this training is for you.”
- Talia Bannister (FYTT Grad 2016) - Studio Manager and Yoga Teacher, New Zealand
“I cannot recommend the training I received through Fringe teacher training with Jodie highly enough. The standard of teaching is excellent. Jodie is an amazing yoga teacher and was so generous in sharing her vast knowledge and teaching style with us. I really feel that she gave us so much more I ever expected out of a course. We learnt not just a set sequence of asanas but the art of sequencing, teaching around themes, elements, adding music. A really full multilayered approach.
The teaching environment that Jodie creates is supportive, inspiring and solid. She really does manage to create a tribe and we all felt very strongly supported and connected to her and each other throughout the training.”
— Sylvia Marks (FYTT Grad 2019)
“My journey with fringe TT has been an extremely significant time and has changed my world to what I want it to be. I have safely let go - become raw and have chosen love over fear - I have finally realised and learnt that it’s ok to be the authentic me. My backbends are becoming more open by the day. Thank you Jodie and Raquelle for your guidance, passion and most of all love ”
— Tracey Howard Beckley (FYTT Grad 2016)
“I can’t recommend the fringe yoga teacher training enough ..I’ve landed just where I needed to be and so wonderful to be connected and authentic with this tribe, learning and growing and loving. ”
— Stephanie Goodyear (FYTT Grad 2016)
"It was a dream, a burning ambition to become a yoga teacher. To give to others and serve for the better. To live my life with more awareness and meaning. When I was approached by Raquelle, she saw something in me which I hadn’t. She became my guiding light and shone a path which I thought was unavailable to me. Now after two years under her wing, I have fledged into my dream. I am now a qualified yoga Teacher. I have met some great yoga teachers in my time on the mat, however there is another special one, which Raquelle introduced me to, Jodie Merrick. Jodie has elevated my practice and understanding to a place which I could only of dreamt of. Her knowledge is second to none. Jodie’s kindness in sharing her incredible knowledge is above and beyond any yoga teacher I have ever met. Jodie seeks out the best in you. If you chose to follow this path, you will never look back. The Fringe Yoga Teacher Training is the best 200-hour course you could ever wish to choose. Their gentle, nurturing approach to learning over the 8 month period was exactly what I needed.
It’s a wonderful experience to meet other likeminded people on the course who have now become lifelong friends. We share a common bond. When we started the FYTT we wondered how on earth Jodie and Raquelle would ever shape us into yoga teachers! We had no voice, little confidence in our own abilities, our knowledge was very limited. When I look around the room at the newly qualified Fringe Yoga Teachers, it’s been a privilege and an honour to see how they have all developed their unique styles of teaching and to witness their growth and development in their knowledge and their practice.
I say to you, be brave, take the leap and soar the sky."
