Welcome!
The intention for Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is to invite helping professionals (i.e., community supports, teachers, students, psychologists, social workers, massage therapists, addiction counsellors, wellness coaches, education assistants, nurses, physicians, police officers, and other helpers that are not listed here) to learn ways to integrate yoga psychology into their practices. This yin/yang 200-hour yoga teacher training will exceed the Yoga Alliance training standards while also offering Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School students a thorough understanding of trauma, as it presents, and how a yoga psychology approach can deepen our ability to meet the needs of the people we support on and off of the yoga mat.
Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology students will meet, in-person, for four 4-day modules to complete contact hours and complete 20 hours of self-directed study, between modules. Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is experiential in nature and will invite students to experience all practices and teachings for themselves with the intention of deepening their ability to walk their talk, as helping professionals and yoga teachers. Each 4-day module will be designed to resemble a retreat-like format so that each student can feel nurtured and, in turn, nurture each other within the group practice, discussions, and practicum components.
Students will learn to bring Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology into their scope of practice. Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is dedicated to providing opportunities for self-reflection as a means of enhancing self-awareness. With trauma being a sensitive topic, each student will be required to complete an application for enrollment and create a plan to ensure mind-body-spirit support throughout the training. This yin/yang teacher training is open to yogis, of all levels, who are looking to deepen their personal and professional practices.

Learning Objectives:
- Students will deepen their understanding of the Yoga Sutras with the intention of honouring, rather than appropriating, the practice of yoga with particular emphasis on Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga.
- Students will learn to integrate yoga standards and ethics with the existing ethical standards in their professions.
- Students will gain a thorough understanding of trauma and how a yoga psychology approach can deepen their ability to support people who have experienced trauma.
- Students will experience all practices and teachings, as both participants and facilitators, with the intention of enhancing empathy with people who have experienced trauma.
- Students will deepen their understanding of how physical and energetic anatomy apply to yoga, through a trauma-informed lens.

Hello, I am Melissa! As a registered psychologist, university instructor, professional yoga teacher & lifelong learner, I love empowering people to live fully. The Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School for helping professionals is a culmination of my 15 years of learnings as a student of psychology and yoga and from my practice as a psychologist and yoga instructor. Through integrating ancient wisdom traditions with modern psychology, this yoga school was created with the intention of empowering wellness professionals in their healing work. Psychology and Yoga have transformed my life, which is why I felt called to create a trauma-informed yoga psychology school. Each year, I receive numerous invitations from professionals who are keen to collaborate. I love sharing my learnings, curiosities, and practices with anyone who would like to increase their understanding of trauma. This school is dedicated to supporting students in integrating a trauma-informed yoga psychology approach with their professional practices, through learning from and teaching each other. In the words of Joseph Joubert, 'To teach is to learn twice’. Let’s learn together! With love and light, Melissa ___________________ Dr. Melissa Jay Registered Psychologist Email: hello@canmorec.com Website: www.canmorecounselling.com/yogaschool |
