Our Manifesto:Yoga Hive—like the bumblebee—represents spirituality, celebration and community. Just as the bumblebee visits a hive to store nourishment and cultivate a family, the Northwest Montana communities congregates at Yoga Hive in the same way. Through various styles of yoga, Yoga Hive nourishes minds, strengthens bodies, and deepens souls through guided yoga practice and meditation. The Hive strives to provide classes suitable for all bodies, ages, abilities and budgets. Members span generations and contribute to the cultivation of a supportive yoga family in our northwest mountain town.
We believe that just as the bumblebee is a pollinator of many flowers, our movement at Yoga Hive represents the interconnectedness of our yogis, the Whitefish community, and the world. By moving together, embracing inclusion, and grounding ourselves, we are improving our own physical and mental well-being, while empowering one another to take grace and goodness from the mat, into our lives as messengers of light, love and service. |

Our History:
Yoga Hive Studios was created by Mollie Busby — an entrepreneur in Whitefish, Montana. She founded three studios in the Flathead Valley, and through a series of serendipitous events, met fitness entrepreneur, Blaine Wilkes, who went on to open the first Yoga Hive studio outside Montana in Louisville, Colorado.
Our team looks forward to many years of growth, love and community in the future!

Our Founder: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 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 in January 2020. 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! |
