Mollie Busby
E-RYT 200, RYT 500 and owner of Yoga Hive Montana
Writer, yoga teacher, dog mom, backcountry skier, world traveler, and lover of all things business, Mollie Busby has been empowering leaders and coaching others through experiential education and yoga since 2004.
The nonprofit she started alongside her husband, Sean, called Riding On Insulin, serves hundreds of kids with Type 1 diabetes every year around the world through action sports. Mollie's Yoga Studio Franchise company Yoga Hive Studios is known for making yoga and yoga teacher trainings inclusive and dynamic within the communities it serves. She started the company with the Whitefish Studio in 2015, and has expanded with two additional Montana Studios, a sister studio in Louisville Colorado, and Yoga Hive Wisconsin launching in 2019!
Mollie's teaching style is vinyasa-based, focused on helping yogis of all abilities have an inspiring and fulfilling experience of both yoga and meditation. Mollie's classes have a distinctly playful, yet powerful energy — combining her certification to teach both Energy Medicine Yoga based on the work of Montana-native Lauren Walker and Donna Eden, and Sattva Yoga of the Himalayan Tantric tradition under Spiritual Master, Anand Mehrotra. Her power vinyasa roots come from her best friend, Brittany Hopkins of Container Collective Yoga in Lakewood Colorado (a Baptiste Yoga Affiliate Studio). Other influences come from her training in Art of Assisting through the Baptiste Institute, Unnata Aerial Yoga, Kids Yoga, as well as Yoga Anatomy training through Leslie Kaminoff and Amy Matthews.
Mollie and her husband Sean have been featured on HGTV and the DIY network for their off the grid homestead in northwest Montana, where they live with their three dogs (Daisy, Glacier and Powder). When not in Montana, Mollie and Sean spend time living past Homer, Alaska in Fritz Creek — an off grid community where they can see the ocean and glaciers every day!

Angie Hall
E-RYT 500, International Yoga Teacher, and founder of Angie Hall Yoga School & Retreats
My love affair with the practice of yoga began 17 years ago. I started practicing because the movement-with-music felt like a beautiful sacred dance and felt wonderfully reminiscent of my time as a ballet dancer. The story of how I found yoga, isn't as important as why I've continued to unroll my mat , day after day, for 17 years. In the beginning, my practice was purely physical, but class after class, week after week, the inexplainable, subtle, yogic shift started working its magic. Every time I unroll my mat, I experience a glimpse of the alluring magic that the practice unveils. The "alluring magic" is nothing more than an unmasking of who we think we are, with who we really are. There are so many intricate layers of wisdom and truth embedded in the sacred ancient practice.
It took me 10 years of practicing yoga to finally have the courage to become a teacher. In 2010 I completed my 200 hour teacher training, and since then I've traveled to India 3 times to study yoga. During my time in India, I completed my 500 hour yoga training, and most recently, I completed my Master Level training under Anand Mehrotra, studying Sattva Yoga. Teaching has become my life. There's something so beautiful about being a facilitator in the evolution of students on their path of Self Growth. Since becoming a yoga teacher, I was constantly balancing my fast-paced corporate career with my love for teaching. Until recently. After 16 years as a successful saleswomen, constantly traveling, constantly hitting the unreachable sales quota, constantly moving in one direction or the other, constantly putting my dreams off until another day, I finally decided to hang up my business suit. If I didn't do it now, I knew I'd never do it. There were many moments that impacted my decision, but in the end, it just didn't feel like home for me anymore.
I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing from day to day, or how my next chapter in life will play out, but one thing that I'm absolutely sure of, is that every time I unroll my mat, I know that I'm home. And that is why I know without a doubt that I'm supposed to share the teachings of yoga with as many people as I can. It has changed my life, and I'm certain if you give it a chance, it will change yours too!

Cathy Connors
E-RYT 500, International Yoga Teacher, and founder of Awake Yoga
Dr. Cathy Connors loves yoga and has dedicated her life to sharing this powerful practice with others. She started her career as a psychologist and began her spiritual journey in her early 20’s. But it wasn’t until 2009 that she started teaching yoga and the practice “took over her life”. She took multiple vinyasa teacher trainings, opened a studio, and based on an “intuitive hit” traveled to India in 2014 for a kundalini teacher training with Kia Miller. It was there that she the first locked eyes with Master teacher Anand Mehrotra - tears filled her eyes and she knew she was home. Since that first visit she has traveled back to India 6 additional times to study the powerful practices of Sattva Yoga.
Her greatest joy is to teach. She loves combining the freedom of Vinyasa Flow with the power and grace of the Sattva Yoga Kriyas. She never quite knows what will arise when she teaches, but she trusts in the beauty of the moment, knowing it will be authentic, raw, connected, and full of grace.
She also loves creating community so when the name “Awake Yoga and Meditation Sanctuary” dropped into her mind during a meditation last year she knew without a doubt that it was her dharma to open AWAKE. She hopes that when you walk in the doors you feel welcomed, supported, uplifted, empowered and at home.
Anything is possible! For all of us! All you have to do is take the first step….

GETTING TO THE FLATHEAD VALLEY
Lodging Options:
Look for lodging close to downtown in Whitefish in order to NOT need a rental car during your stay here! If you have a rental car, it opens up your options to Kalispell or Columbia Falls/Glacier National Park (~20 minutes from Whitefish).
|
Getting here:Tips: If you're search for airfare, do so on a Tuesday or Wednesday when they are the cheapest. Also, don't keep rechecking and rechecking from your same browser, as it will recognize you and that search and drive up the prices automatically. I (Mollie) am VERY well versed in booking flights, and am happy to find you the cheapest recommendation I can find!
|
Rental Car:
Hopefully you won't need one! But if you do, all the rental car companies either rent directly from the airport (all the regular brands that you see at any other airport). You can also rent cars from the Amtrac station here in the middle of downtown. I know Hertz rents from there specifically. If you're in need of a ride from the airport downtown and back, I'm happy to help coordinate (me, Mollie) as I live here and can assist where necessary!
