Free Workshop with Melissa
​Thursday, August 6
5:30 - 6:30pm MST
Live via Zoom (this will not be recorded)
Our trainings are grounded in Patañjali's Eight Limb Path, intentionally supporting each of us in deepening our practices, on and off the mat, while honouring the ancient wisdom tradition of yoga.

​Join me, Dr. Melissa | she/her, for an accessible one-hour workshop focused on community, connection, and trauma-informed yoga psychology. Together, we will share restorative eight limb practices grounded in Yama, Niyama, Āsana, Prānāyāma, Pratyāhāra, Dhāranā, Dhyāna, and Samādhi.

Towards the end of the workshop, I will share a bit about our upcoming our Fall Yoga School Cohorts, including our 200-hour yoga teacher training, which begins August 28, with 4 spots left! It will be a joy to practice with you!

Alumni, please join too... missing 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 :)
