Welcome!
The intention for Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School 300-hour yoga teacher training is to invite registered yoga teachers with a minimum of 200-hours of training to learn ways to integrate trauma-informed yoga psychology into their practices. Upon graduation of the Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School’s 300-hour teacher training participants can will be eligible to register as a Registered Yoga Teacher 500 Hour (RYT 500) with Yoga Alliance. This yin/yang 300-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 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 5 five-day modules to complete 270 in-person contact hours and complete approximately 30 hours of home study, throughout the course, related to functional anatomy and trauma theory. 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 trauma-informed yoga teachers. Each five-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.
Please note that the Yoga Alliance Standards for Registered Yoga Schools do not include any instruction in yoga therapy techniques or other methods of diagnosing or treating mental or physical illness. While students will learn yoga and meditation techniques as a form of self-care for us as teachers and those we teach, Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School students will not learn to utilize yoga as a treatment for mental health concerns.
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.

Learning Objectives:
- Students will deepen their understanding of Ayurveda, Yoga History, and the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, with the intention of honouring, rather than appropriating, the practice of yoga.
- Students will gain a thorough understanding of trauma theory and how a yoga psychology approach can deepen our ability to support people from a trauma-informed lens.
- 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 functional physical anatomy and energetic subtle body anatomy apply to yoga, through the lens of a trauma-informed yoga teacher.
- Students will learn to integrate the eight limbs of yoga and ethics into their professions as yoga teachers and helping professionals.

Hello, I am Melissa!
My Mission: To empower compassionate souls to love themselves unconditionally. I have earned my Ph.D., Master of Counselling, & Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and am a lifelong student of yoga and psychology. With interest in mindfulness, authenticity, well-being & relationships, I believe that in order to care for others, we must first take good care of ourselves. From a nurturing attachment-based approach, I aim to provide support and care as we integrate yoga and psychology from a trauma-informed perspective, on and off the mat. My work is made up of an integrative & supportive approach dedicated to cultivating practices of self-awareness with the intention of integrating our body, spirit, and minds while drawing on and contributing to academic literature. Psychology and Yoga have changed 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 and I love to share my learnings, curiosities, and practices with those keen to increase their understanding of trauma and how yoga and psychology can support and deepen their personal and professional practices. Looking forward to learning with you! With goodness, Melissa ___________________ Dr. Melissa Jay Registered Psychologist, E-RYT500 Pronouns: she/her Email: hello@canmorec.com Website: www.canmorecounselling.com/yogaschool |
