Julie Bohonos (Seibt) | she/her
Certified Yoga Therapist
iRest Yoga Nidra Supervisor

Faculty for Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School

I’ll start with a ‘fess up’.

I was once the lycra-clad fitness club manager in leg warmers and a headband, echoing Jane Fonda’s “Go for the burn” and Richard Simmon’s  “Wake up and breathe!” 

My fascination with fitness probed deeper into the body/mind connection, eventually leading me to a black belt in Kung Fu. 

I was young and fit and assumed my frequent back pain was normal. 
​
When I went to my first yoga class, the teacher’s eyes struck a deep chord within me. She had something I really wanted. It was the gentle clarity in her eyes, an ease of being and a caring sense of acceptance that I began to recognize in my most influential teachers. 
​
I am deeply grateful to my teachers - including my Mom who was a yoga teacher before yoga was mainstream - for pointing me home to clarity, ease, and well-being. It feel better in my body now in my late fifties than I did in my twenties and I have more ease and joy in my heart. 

Now, my clients are also my teachers as they learn to move better, get out of pain, and into well-being so they can do what they love to do, longer into life.

It brings me joy to see my clients learn to accept themselves for who they are and come home to clarity and ease.

Ease of being is within you, right now. Sometimes we need another to point us home. I’m here for you.

Canmore Counselling & Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is an Indigenous and Black-owned family business, co-created by Melissa Jay and Michael Yudcovitch. 

​Our team lives across Turtle Island, and we honour the Nations who continue to nurture these lands. Our primary office is located in Châ Ûpchîchîyen Kudebi (translated from Îyârhe Nakoda as “shooting at the willows”), colonially known as Canmore, on Treaty 7 territory and the current and ancestral lands of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda), Tsuut’ina First Nation, and Blackfoot Confederacy. These lands are also home to the Rocky View Métis District 4 within the Battle River Territory. 

We are grateful to be students, practitioners, and guides of yoga, an Indigenous wisdom tradition with roots in India and across South Asia and parts of Africa. We are committed to learning from and amplifying South Asian teachers and practitioners while continuing to learn alongside our own students, faculty, and alumni. We believe trauma-informed care requires an active commitment to community, social justice, decolonization, anti-oppression, anti-racism, reciprocity, and meaningful care for people and communities who have been intentionally and historically marginalized.

As a team, we are committed to uplifting Truth, language, culture, and relationship as essential to right relations and to our ongoing work of reconciliation and decolonization. Thank you for being here :)
