Stanley Prescott  | he/him
Faculty for Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School

Howdy, I'm Stan!

Stanley (he/him) earned his B.Sc. in Biology from UBC Vancouver, where he embraced his inner nerd and became captivated by the intricacies of cells. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, he delved into the fascinating worlds of protistology, immunology, neuroscience, psychology, anatomy, and physiology, developing an evolutionary framework that complemented his studies. During this time, he also cultivated a psychoneuroimmunological perspective, exploring the intersections of movement, mindfulness, and yoga practice. Currently, Stanley is pursuing his Masters of Counselling at Gonzaga University, further expanding his expertise. Wholeheartedly, Stanley believes look through a kaleidoscope of perspectives that inform our sense of knowing, and he hopes to add more lenses through compassionate listening and dialogue.

Stanley has always found solace and inspiration in the great outdoors and movement practices. After retiring from competitive Highland Dance due to an injury, he discovered yoga, which empowered him to feel whole and grounded during a challenging chapter of his life. Deepening his practice, Stanley completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training program with Naked Truth Yoga School, a program developed by dancers that resonated deeply with him. Seeking to cultivate a heart-centered practice, decolonize his approach, and enhance the accessibility of his teachings, he eagerly enrolled in the 300-Hour Advanced Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology Teacher Training program at Canmore Counselling Yoga Psychology School, an experience for which he is immensely grateful. In his movement philosophy, Stanley finds inspiration in the Japanese proverb of Wabi Sabi, appreciating the beauty of storied perfection through imperfections.

As a lifelong learner, Stanley is passionate about blending his academic background with trauma-informed and accessible movement practices. When he's not in the studio, you can often find him hiking, paddleboarding, reading, or enjoying board games. Stanley also considers himself a coffee connoisseur and an oat milk fanboy. A polarizing fun fact about him is that he enjoys eating kiwis like apples.

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 :)
