Our Fall/Winter Training is Underway!

with Award-Winning, ERYT-200, RYT 500, Owner of Yoga Hive Montana Studios, Shelle Kuntz

Are you feeling stuck in a job that just doesn't seem to fit? Do you feel like there is something more that you need to explore in your life to honor an inner passion?  Do you think there's something more to life than what you're experiencing? Do you find yourself practicing yoga six days a week just to cope with the challenges?
I was once in your shoes, feeling trapped and uninspired by my daily grind. But then, I had an incredible "aha" moment. I realized that I didn't have to settle for a life that didn't align with my passions. And that's when I discovered Yoga Teacher Training (YTT).

Unlock the True Potential Within

YTT has transformed lives in unimaginable ways. The tools and knowledge it has to offer
are invaluable, regardless of whether you chose to become a yoga teacher or not.
At Yoga Hive Montana, we want to share this life-changing experience with you.

We'll guide your yoga journey through the ancient teachings of Himalayan Kriya Kundalini,
Energy Medicine Yoga and our foundation of Meditation in ways that apply the teachings to modern life.

Our Guided Training

Trainees will learn how to sequence their own classes utilizing a creative combination of these elements, at their own pace.

Although no one is expected to teach yoga post-graduation, we do create space for practice teaching so that the material becomes ingrained in each trainee.  We will experience many different styles including Yin, Restorative and Trauma Informed Yoga, as well as the ancient tradition of Ayurveda. You'll feel effortlessly guided through postures and transitions, and gain plenty of experience in sequencing a gentle yoga (slow pace),  Hatha Flow (medium pace), and Vinyasa Flow (faster pace) classes.

Whether you intend to teach upon the conclusion of the program or you're taking it for personal development, rest assured you will feel confident with sequencing and teaching many different ability levels! By the end of the training, you will have first-hand experience teaching a full yoga class! This is the BEST way to culminate your training! The skills and wisdom you'll gain will empower you to create positive change in your life, no matter where your path takes you.

An amazing Yoga Hive 200-Hour Teacher Training program manual, a complementary membership for live-stream, on-demand and our in-studio classes during the program, and more will accompany your program registration!
