Choose yourself & do it! You could never regret this experience. Melissa & the amazing folks at the Trauma Informed Yoga Psychology School are not only incredible yoga psychology practitioners but are truly extraordinary humans, who have such a beautiful connection with their students that you feel welcomed and at home from the moment you sign up. I have learned so much professionally, but what really caught me off guard was how much I've learned about myself personally from this experience! This training is not just for those wanting to teach. Everyone can benefit from this training---you will grow in a multitude of ways. It truly will transform you, and you will be so grateful for the knowledge and growth! ~ Janine Keagan, 200-Hour Alumni

This yoga school completely embodies the 8 limbs of yoga and as a result, the students learn how to take these ancient teachings and apply them in their lives in a way that does not culturally appropriate. The focus on mind, body, spirit and heart honours each individual’s life journey. I would highly recommend this training to anyone who would like a deeper understanding of the teachings, beliefs and medicine of yoga and how this is integral in health and well-being. ~ Kathleen, 200-Hour Alumni

There are no words to truly describe the 300 hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School's teacher training. This training was on all levels life changing, the faculty and the learnings are incredible. Through this training I not only learned how to support others in their journey; I was also able to step more into myself and my sense of being. There are really no words, just all the feels.  ~ Rachel, 300-Hour Alumni

I am a big advocate of the Canmore Counselling - Trauma Informed Yoga Psychology School and all of their offerings! ​The 2020 global pandemic provided the greatest backdrop for this educational opportunity. While navigating this traumatic time, it was extremely beneficial to learn different theories and tools used for healing. My goal was to complete a 200 YTT however the Trauma Informed Yoga Psychology School provided so much more. This training felt like I was starting a university degree in Self-Awareness/Self-Development. The dynamic and talented faculty delivered inspiring teaching and encouragement. And, our class was nurtured so well we took topics and conversation to new depths. The whole experience has opened my eyes to a curious way of being. Forever GRATEFUL. ~Michelle Backhouse, 500-hour Alumni

The 300-Hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School's teacher training was a magically authentic experience. With the uncertainty and difficulty of 2020, this training helped me not only find connection to an amazing yoga community, but also to myself. The teachers reignited my love of yoga and psychology and created a sense of confidence within me as I move forward within both these fields. I cannot recommend this training enough for anyone who is feeling stuck and looking for inspiration and a community! ~ Anissa Vandezande, 300-Hour Alumni

I would suggest that they will learn about how yoga lives within them, and how it is to teach from a place of honest, authentic purpose. Taking this training I not only learned how it is the most important to show up for yourself first, but also felt empowered to live my life that way. The people this course attracts are such wise, strong, and curious people. You're in for a good ride! ~Nicola Davies, 300-Hour Alumni

I just graduated from their 300hour Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology Teacher Training program and I highly recommend their workshops and programs. You will find very loving and compassionate people that will greet you in these virtual trainings. The faculty at Canmore Counselling delivered the most incredible yoga teacher training experience online, and are leading the way into new territory with trauma-informed learning. ~ Jen Cookson, 300-Hour Alumni

I decided to take the 300hr training very soon after completing my 200hr YTT as I was feeling called to continue my learning. I am so pleased that I did this training. It is for sure an investment, but I gained so much more than a 300hr YTT certificate. I have a group of friends that I feel deeply connected to, and I have participated in a learning and growth journey that I will always cherish. I have felt entirely supported by the faculty and peers to deepen my understanding of myself, and I have noticed that I'm more able to show up authentically when I teach and connect with others. For me, what I most valued about this training is that the blend of psychology, yoga, and social justice was so aligned with my own personal values. I feel more confident in who I am as a yoga teacher and also as a human being. I couldn't recommend this training more. ~ Tanya Beetham, 500-hour Alumni

I genuinely felt that every individual (student and teacher) gave their best every day. That made it an absolutely magical experience! I had a fantastic time and I learned so much! I wouldn’t say these things if I didn’t really mean it. I grew in many, many ways from this training. I’m a better yoga teacher and a better person for having done this training. I’ll never forget this experience or the people who I shared it with. ~ Jeremy Bell, 200-Hour Alumni

This is an amazing foundational training for anyone who is looking to get started on their path of becoming a yoga teacher! The focus on trauma makes this training applicable to so many settings, in and out of the yoga studio. ~ Steph, 200-Hour Alumni

This is more just yoga teacher training. It’s a deep dive into human character and relationships. It allows you to self discover; to grow and blossom in a positive, safe space. The relationships built are an unique and nurturing connection that isn’t found often. I feel inspired and motivated to help make healing changes to myself, those around me and my community. I can’t say enough about this absolutely amazing experience. ~Kirsty Mckean, 200-Hour Alumni
