Burnout & The Body: A Yoga Therapy & Self-Compassion Workshop
May 9, 2026, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM MST
Online, via Zoom
Sliding scale - $30 / $40 / $50
Join Chey Johns, Intern Therapist / CYT-500, and Kayley Champagne, Yoga Therapy Intern / CYT-500, for a gentle, experiential workshop exploring the relationship between mental load, burnout, and self-compassion.
This workshop is open to anyone experiencing stress, overwhelm, or burnout, or those interested in cultivating a more compassionate relationship with themselves through body-based awareness. No prior yoga or therapy experience is needed. This session weaves together therapeutic insight with a yoga therapy and somatic lens, offering space to slow down and notice how stress, overwhelm, and responsibility live in the body. This workshop invites you into a practice of awareness, curiosity, and choice.
Together, we will explore:
  • How mental load and burnout can show up physically (e.g., tension, bracing, fatigue, or disconnection)
  • Listening to internal “yes” and “no” signals as embodied guidance
  • Simple, accessible, choice-based practices such as grounding, orienting, and small supportive adjustments
  • Self-compassion as a felt, embodied experience
Throughout the workshop, you’ll be invited into optional mini-practices to support integration, with an emphasis on gentleness and personal agency. There is no expectation to do anything “right,” only invitations to notice what feels supportive for you.

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 :)​
