Yin & Myofascial Release CPD Structure & Content

January 2026

FRINGE STUDIOS, EPPING

taught by Jodie Merrick

THE 60hr FYTT Yin & Myofascial Relaese CPD

This 60-hour CPD course is delivered over five structured weekends and is grounded in an elemental framework supported by clear theoretical foundations. The training begins with establishing a shared understanding of connective tissue and fascia, safe and effective stretching methodologies and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. These modules provide the anatomical, physiological and energetic basis for all subsequent learning.

The Yin practice is embedded throughout each weekend training and reinforced through attendance at weekly studio Yin classes, enabling students to embody the material and integrate theory with direct experience. The remaining modules are organised by element - Earth, Water, Fire and Air and are taught using the fringe.method to explore each element’s physical, energetic and thematic qualities in depth. Each weekend combines practice, discussion and reflection to support cumulative and experiential learning. Everyone will be tasked with homework to demonstrate their overall knowledge, learning and understanding which will help support their independent practice beyond this training.
