Join us at Yoga Hive for our annual
​Aerial Yoga Teacher Training!

Each year, we host one 40-hour Aerial Yoga Teacher Training! Upon completion of this program, you will be able to safely lead a group through an aerial yoga class, certified by Yoga Hive Studios.

​Times are:

• Thursday, 11:30am-9pm 
• Friday, 11:30am-9pm 
• Saturday, 10am-9pm
• Sunday, 8am-6pm

​Location:

We will meet daily at the Columbia Falls Yoga Hive, 528 Nucleus Avenue. This is 20 minutes from both Whitefish and 25 minutes from downtown Kalispell. 

​Who is this program for?​

​
A 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher Training or a strong aerial yoga practice is required for all attendees. Learn over 60 aerial yoga postures, deepen your physical practice, and leave the program with the confidence to lead others through a Gentle Aerial Yoga Sequence, a Honey Aerial Yoga Flow (medium paced) and a Hive Aerial Yoga Sequence (fast paced). 

Yoga Alliance continuing education credits are available for this course. Although we cannot provide the full 35 hours (as Yoga Alliance doesn't recognize Aerial Yoga as part of its curriculums), we can provide credit for part of the training!

Content:

Get ready for a jam-packed 40 contact hours of aerial yoga! We will start off with the basics of anatomy, both energetic and physical. You will enjoy different styles of class each day of the training, which will all be recorded for you to use after the training is complete! We will go break down and practice teach over 50 aerial yoga poses, and cover safe cueing for each one. 

The following topics can be expected in this training: 

• Physical Anatomy, as it applies to teaching aerial yoga
• Energetic Anatomy, as it applies to teaching aerial yoga
• 50+ pose breakdowns
• Cueing and sequencing, the Arc of Class
• Contraindications and modifications, including prop usage
• History of Aerial Yoga
• History and ethics of yoga (and aerial yoga!) and the 8-limbed path
• The business of aerial yoga

Meet your instructor, 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!

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).​

• Airbnb - best thing to do is to search locations close to our studio. You'll have cheaper rates if you select private ROOM versus private house. Yoga Hive owner Mollie Busby also has a home in Whitefish that she rents out to travelers — and if it's available, trainees can rent the house for a low cost!
• Whitefish Hostel - 2 blocks from the studio - $35 per person per night. 
• Grouse Mountain Lodge (a longer walk to the studio... maybe 6+ blocks, although they do have a shuttle) - Really Nice Lodge
• Pine Lodge (~4 blocks away from the studio) - A decent, clean hotel, although nothing fancy
• Whitefish Lake Lodge (a longer walk to the studio... maybe 6+ blocks, although they do have a shuttle)  - A SUPER nice lodge on the lake and beautiful views!

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!

• Airplane: Fly into FCA (Kalispell MT). Don't waste your time flying into Spokane or Missoula and driving here. We aren't surrounded by easy freeways so you'll be driving on a lot of windy highways. It's always cheaper in the long run to fly directly here!
• Amtrak: Amtrak comes right through the center of downtown! They've had problems in the past not being on time, so just be wary of arrival times, etc.
• By car: Driving to Whitefish? Awesome! Because it is during the winter season, you will want to be equipped for winter weather in the event it snows. It's easy to get around, but as I said, we aren't surrounded by major freeways or anything, so you'll be on 2-lane highways for most of your way here from Spokane or Missoula or Calgary. 

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!
