Welcome!
The intention for Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is to support you in learning ways to honour the roots of yoga and how to integrate yoga psychology into your practices. This 200-hour yoga teacher training adheres to the Yoga Alliance training standards while also offering you a thorough understanding of trauma and how a yoga psychology approach can deepen your ability to meet the needs of the people you support, on and off of the yoga mat. This teacher training is open to all. All levels and all people with a desire to deepen their personal and professional practices.
We will meet live via Zoom, for four 4-day modules to complete contact hours and complete 30 hours of self-directed home study, between modules. The Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is experiential in nature and will invite you to experience all practices and teachings for yourself, with the intention of deepening your ability to walk your talk, as a helping professionals and yoga teacher. Each 4-day module is designed to resemble a retreat-like format so you can feel nurtured and, in turn, nurture each other within the group practice, discussions, and practicum components.
As a student, you will learn to bring Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology into the scope of your practice. The 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 is required to complete an application for enrollment with special attention on how you plan to support yourself, mind-body-spirit-heart, throughout the training.

- 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.

Tân'si, Hello!
Be who you needed when you were younger. This message guides me. As an Indigenous, Nehiyaw member of the Métis Nation of Alberta, it is a joy to walk alongside incredible souls who are dedicated to self-awareness & community care. My daily eight limb yoga practice support me in allowing truth (satya) to flow and deepen my lifelong yoga studentship. I honour my ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐍ Nehiyawe (Cree) culture, by learning to speak Nehiyawe, sitting with Elders/Knowledge Keepers, and decolonizing myself by infusing spirit into everything. Psychology and Yoga have transformed my life. I love sharing my learnings, curiosities, and practices with anyone who would like to deepen their understanding of yoga and trauma-informed teachings. This school is dedicated to supporting students in integrating a trauma-informed yoga psychology approach and living authentically. From a nurturing attachment-based approach, we will explore how to integrate yoga and psychology, on and off the mat. As a psychologist & assistant professor, I have the privilege of destigmatizing mental health through offering accessible yoga, workshops, & contributing to academic literature/research #nerdalert Cannot wait to learn and, most importantly, unlearn, with you! With goodness, Dr. Melissa Jay (she/her) |
