300-Hour Yoga Teacher Training
|
We've poured our love into this 300 hour training, and our aim was to create something unique that you can't find anywhere else in the world. We also wanted to create a dynamic, approachable training with the focus of self realization. If you don't have a deep understanding of the teachings within yourself, how can you communicate that to others? Using the ancient technologies of Kriya, mantra, Energy Medicine Yoga, sacred rituals and more, we've been able to uplift ourselves to higher levels of awareness... and we want you to have the same access to this sacred technologies.
You will complete each module with a newfound zest for life, and a fresh outlook on teaching yoga. It's not a requirement to want to teach yoga publicly to take this course... all we ask is for an open mind and a willing heart. |

Modules:
Module 1: Guru Mantra Meditation - 10 Hrs
If you’re reading this, I bet you’re feeling a whisper to dive deeper into your own self realization. It’s a feeling I’m intimately familiar with myself… and a call that I’m so grateful I listened to years ago.
There is so much depth to life accessible with a regular meditation practice.
Meditation has given me more freedom than any other practice in the yoga tradition — it’s the firm roots underneath my feet, it’s my sacred time to tap into my higher self, and it’s how I access my own connection to spirit, and deepen my own understanding of what that means.
The Yoga Hive Guru Mantra Meditation practice comes from the Himalayas of India, and has been used for generations in our lineage to quiet the mind and experience profound shifts in our experience of life. We use a guru mantra — which is typically one or more Sanskrit seed sounds — on repeat in our mind which becomes like an anchor for our attention. Sure our other thoughts are there, but the mantra holds us in stillness and helps train our mind to access that stillness throughout our day.
This practice brings peace on a whole new level.
Meditation is taught by so many people for so many reasons, but primarily all techniques attempt to control our “monkey mind” so we can create stillness within. Some traditions use breath, others with visualization or guided recordings.
In our lineage, we use the Sattva Yoga Meditation Technique — which we call Guru Mantra Meditation interchangeably — to focus our mind on a single sound of nature, repeated over and over within our consciousness, which tunes us to a deep vibration and a sacred frequency. It’s not a new method; in fact, it’s been used and passed down in the lineage of Kriya Yoga, including through great gurus Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswar, Babaji, and Yogananda, (the renowned author of “Autobiography of a Yogi”).
The use of mantra as a focal point for meditation can be a complex, mysterious technique, but Mollie breaks it down simply, and authentically so you can grasp these powerful ancient teachings in your life right now without a degree in Sanskrit or advanced yoga training.
In this LIVE virtual course (meaning not pre-recorded), you will be initiated into your own personal Mantra and gain the confidence and the knowledge to bring this meditation technique into your own daily spiritual practice. If used daily and consistently, this practice (and your dedication to it!) will rewire your mind, boost your energy and connect you to your own subtle energetic body and higher self. The possibilities for how it will change your life are limitless.
Location: LIVE online using Zoom
Dates: Upon your registration for a 300-hour module. This is done one-on-one with Mollie Busby, and is scheduled at a time that works for both parties!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where did Mollie Busby train?
Mollie was initiated into the Sattva Yoga Meditation Technique, which we also call Guru Mantra Meditation in 2018, in Rishikesh, India, by Anaand Mehrotra. She was also initiated into the sacred practice of being able to teach this technique to others, and give guru mantras to those wanting to dive deeper. After many years of dabbling in many other techniques of meditation, Guru Mantra Meditation was the anchor Mollie needed to solidify meditation as a nonnegotiable part of her daily ritual.
Anand is the founder of Sattva Yoga Academy and is one of the youngest spiritual masters in the world. After her initial training in India, Mollie traveled to Sattva to train two additional times, and has studied philosophy and ancient yogic texts such as the Bhagavad Gita under Anand’s direction and wise guidance. She is a proud Sattva Yoga Master Teacher, and loves nothing more than being able to inspire others to find the same freedom of mind, body and spirit that she discovered in India with Sattva.
I want to use mantra-based meditation. Where else can I find it?
There are many great teachers and established methods you can research! As with all parts of the yogic tradition, we encourage students to do research and find a teacher and a school that speaks to you. Although Mollie can’t speak to anything beyond Guru Mantra Meditation (because that’s specifically what she’s trained and experienced with), you may want to check out:
Why are the fees different for Guru Mantra Meditation versus other courses and methods?
Great questions, but because Mollie isn’t trained in anything else, we can’t speak to why other courses are priced the way they are. Because this course is able to be offered online to more people than it would in person (limited to geographical location), we are able to offer this reduced price.
Do I need experience with meditation?
Not at all! This course is open to newbies and advanced practitioners alike. We recommend you try out some Yoga Hive classes with Mollie or some of the other instructors to familiarize yourself with our community, but no experience is necessary… just a willingness to commit to a practice that is guaranteed to change your life.
Where will the course be held?
This course will be held fully ONLINE. We recommend you create a quiet space where you will be undisturbed during our sessions, especially during your private session with Mollie where you receive your guru mantra.

Module 2: The Energetic Body Master Training - 50 hrs
This is a 4-day, 30-hour live online training with Mollie, plus 20 hours of guided self-paced study. Mollie has designed this course for anyone looking to facilitate energetic practices using Himalayan Kriya, advanced pranayama, and mantra. Through the lens of the Koshas (5 energetic layers or bodies), the 3 gunas (fundamental tendencies), and the 5 Kleshas (obstacles), we will examine the ways we — and our students — go from living unconsciously, to experiencing a radical shift using these timeless technologies, and ultimately embark on an awakening that alters our experience of life.
This course is for sincere seekers only — and it will require that you take on a specific daily meditation and commit to significant practice with the material prior to bringing it into your classes. As such, Mollie is prepared to support your journey beyond the course with specific practices, recommended routines, continuing study and one-on-one support. You will leave the course with all the tools you need to succeed — although it’s up to you to have the motivation to change the way you show up in the world.
In our lineage, we use Guru Mantra Meditation to focus our mind on a single sound of nature, repeated over and over within our consciousness, which tunes us to a deep vibration and a sacred frequency. It’s not a new method; in fact, it’s been used and passed down in the lineage of Kriya Yoga for thousands of years, including through great gurus Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswar, Babaji, and Yogananda, (the renowned author of “Autobiography of a Yogi”). In this course, you will become part of this lineage, too.
The Tantric practices you will experience are thousands of years old and come from the birthplace of yoga in the Himalayas of India. In this course, you will be initiated into specific kriya, pranayama and mantras so you can experience them for yourself, which ultimately empowers you to teach them to others from the heart.

Meet Your Teachers
Mollie Busby
E-RYT 500 and owner of Yoga Hive Montana
Mollie Busby is a driven entrepreneur with the spirit of a summer camp counselor and a kind, midwestern smile. Mollie is a seasoned yoga and meditation teacher and off-grid home builder with her husband, Sean. Although the pair now calls Alaska their home, the have deep roots in the Flathead Valley, and Mollie commutes back to Montana to manage her three yoga studios called Yoga Hive.
Wherever they are, the Busbys choose to live close to the land off-the-grid and pursue their life’s work. The pair started Riding On Insulin, which Mollie ran as Executive Director for 7 years, until Sean took over in 2017. It was then that Mollie shifted much of her focus to Yoga Hive, and now, to Yoga Hive Studios, taking the brand beyond Montana. Yoga Hive is known for its inviting vibe, friendly instructors, and willingness to show anyone that yoga is for everybody and every body.
Regardless of the method, Mollie sees her purpose on this planet as cultivating community in small groups of women — whether in a yoga retreat setting or during the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings she runs in Montana, Colorado and beyond. She enjoys spending time outdoors skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer, and playing with their dogs all year round: Daisy (a Weimaraner), Glacier (Border Collie/Great Pyrenees Mix), Milo (husky/Shepard mix), Powder (Alaskan Husky) and Coldfoot, or Coldie for short (Alaskan Husky).
She and Sean have built a dynamic off-the-grid homestead in the heart of Whitefish, Montana, that’s been featured on HGTV, the DIY Network, Discovery Channel, Yahoo News, Daily Mail, and more. They've also built off-grid homesteads in Homer, Alaska and now, Arctic Hive, Alaska.
Hailing originally from Wisconsin, Mollie brings to Montana her warm, midwestern hospitality mixed with a wide range of yoga training. Her teaching draws inspiration from the Baptiste Yoga community, Unnata Aerial Yoga, and a mix of Tantric Kriya and mantra-based meditation from Sattva Yoga Academy at the foothills of the Himalayas in India.
This unique mix gives her classes a magical feel, with a love for teaching the basics to anyone willing to learn, layered with a profound gift of teaching for transformation.

Cathy Connors
E-RYT 500, International Yoga Teacher, and founder of Awake Yoga
Dr. Cathy "Anjali" 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+ 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.
Anjali runs yoga teacher trainings, teaching yoga classes, and is a practicing psychologist in California. She is a proud momma of two growing boys.
