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 you are eligible to register as a Registered Yoga Teacher 500 Hour (RYT 500) with Yoga Alliance. This 300-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.
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 trauma-informed yoga teacher. Each workshop & weekend gathering resembles a retreat-like format so you can feel nurtured and, in turn, nurture each other within the group practice, discussions, and practicum components.
Please Note: 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. You will learn to bring Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology into your scope of practice. We are dedicated to providing opportunities for self-reflection as a means of enhancing self-awareness. With trauma being a sensitive topic, you are required to complete an application for enrollment with space to share how you plan to care for yourself, mind-body-spirit-heart, throughout the training.

- 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.

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. I honour yoga as a way of life & am dedicated to a lifelong studentship. Psychology and Yoga have transformed my life. I love sharing my learnings, curiosities, and practices with with others embracing their lifelong yoga studentship. This training is dedicated to supporting students in integrating a trauma-informed yoga psychology approach to life. 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) |
