“I overall truly appreciated the ability to learn and share from my lived experience as an Indigenous learner/practitioner. I was able to feel at ease and find space to explore and release what was not serving the highest and best version of myself. I intend to bring this forward while integrating a two-eyed seeing approach to my teaching. Thank you for this experience and I look forward to reconnecting and for continued learning."

"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

"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

"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."

Who is Dr. Melissa Jay...

Tân'si, Hello! 

Be who you needed when you were younger.
This message guides me.

As an Indigenous woman, Nehiyaw member of the Métis Nation of Alberta, it is a joy to walk alongside incredible souls who are dedicated to self-awareness & community care. My daily eight limb yoga practice support me in allowing truth (satya) to flow and deepen my lifelong yoga studentship. I honour my ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐍ Nehiyawe (Cree) culture, by learning to speak Nehiyawe, sitting with Elders/Knowledge Keepers, and decolonizing myself by infusing spirit into all that I do.

Psychology and Yoga have transformed my life. I love sharing my learnings, curiosities, and practices with anyone who would like to deepen their understanding of yoga and trauma-informed teachings. This school is dedicated to supporting students in integrating a trauma-informed yoga psychology approach and living authentically. From a nurturing attachment-based approach, we will explore how to integrate yoga and psychology, on and off the mat. As a psychologist & assistant professor, I have the privilege of destigmatizing mental health through offering accessible yoga, workshops, & contributing to academic literature/research #nerdalert

Cannot wait to learn and, most importantly, unlearn, with you!
With goodness,
Dr. Melissa Jay (she/her)

Dr. Melissa Jay is Nehiyaw, a member of the Métis Nation of Alberta, and the Indigenous Director of the Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association. I live on sacred lands known as Chuwapchipchiyân Kudi Bi (translated from Îyârhe Nakoda as “shooting at the willows”). Canmore is located within the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta, the traditional territory of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda), comprised of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Wesley First Nations; the Tsuut’ina First Nation; and the Blackfoot Confederacy, comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai. The area is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. As an act of reconciliation and decolonization, may we work together to answer the TRC's Calls to Action: Truth & Reconciliation Commission Reports and Findings. As a first step, please read the TRC reports :)
