Hello sweet ones,
Thank you for being here, for shining your light, and for sharing your gifts with your communities.
As Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology Teachers, you know that this studentship is lifelong. Michael and I have been dreaming up ways to stay connected while offering opportunities for continued svadhyaya and ahimsa.
Intention: As our gift to you, our inspiring trauma-informed community, we will offer an annual Alumni Retreat & Continuing Education dedicated to putting social justice into action, as yoga teachers. These hours can be used towards your continuing education hours with Yoga Alliance!
Your investment: Creating time, space, and energy to join us for practice, learning, deep discussions, connection with all alumni, faculty and special guest faculty with mad skills & wisdom. This is our gift to you.
My heart is so full as we welcome you to join us.
♥️ Melissa

Dr. Melissa Jay's Yoga Credentials:
    |
Dr. Melissa Jay is an Indigenous, nehiyaw-Métis member of the Métis Nation of Alberta. The primary location of Canmore Counselling and Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is located in Chuwapchipchiyan Kudi Bi (translated from Îyârhe Nakoda as “shooting at the willows”), colonially known as Canmore. We are grateful to be located on Treaty 7 territory and the current and ancestral lands of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda), which includes of the Bearspaw First Nation, Chiniki First Nation, and Goodstoney First Nation, as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Siksika First Nation, Piikani First Nation, and Kainai First Nation. This is also the home to the Rocky View Métis District 4 within the Battle River Territory. We recognize all Nations who continue to nurture these lands, and we are dedicated to uplifting Truth, language, and culture as essential to right relations. As an act of reconciliation and commitment to decolonization, we are committed to the TRC's Calls to Action.
At Canmore Counselling, we are also privileged to be yoga students, practitioners, and guides. Our offerings centre on the root of yoga as Indigenous to South Asia, and we are grateful to learn from and amplify the South Asian practitioners and teachers whenever possible. We are grateful for the eight limbs of yoga, as taught by Patanjali. It is a joy to walk alongside our incredible alumni of the Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School as they create opportunities for care, connection & curiosity within their communities.
We believe wholeheartedly that trauma-informed care requires commitment to community, social justice, decolonization, anti-oppression, and anti-racism. Thank you for being here :)
