Everyone is welcome to join Yoga Hive Montana's 200-hour Online Yoga Teacher Training. Yes, that's YOU!
Join us if you are interested in the time-tested spiritual map that yoga outlined thousands of years ago, or if you want to know more about the physical and mental healing that yoga can produce. Beginners and experts are welcome. You do not need to have a desire to teach yoga upon concluding this training... many people take teacher trainings just for the self study aspect, and diving deeper into your personal practice. |
|
All we ask of every trainee is to come as you are, with an open mind and a willing spirit!
What type of yoga do we learn?
Our program is inspired by the Kriya Yoga lineage of Babaji, Hatha and Vinyasa styles of yoga, and Energy Medicine Yoga. 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, transitions and postures, and experiment with sequencing a gentle yoga class (slow pace), a Hatha Flow (medium pace), and a Vinyasa Flow (faster pace), and 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!

Mollie Busby
E-RYT 500, Sattva Yoga Master Teacher, and founder of Yoga Hive / Owner of Yoga Hive Wisconsin
|
Mollie Busby is a driven entrepreneur with the spirit of a summer camp counselor. She is a masterful yoga, breathwork and meditation teacher, and she and her husband, Sean, are off-grid home builders. Mollie and Sean choose to live close to the land off-the-grid in pursuit of their life’s work. They currently live 63 miles north of Alaska’s Arctic Circle outside a tiny village called Wiseman, which is nestled in the Himalayas of the Arctic: The Brooks Range. There, they bring guests from all over the world to Arctic Hive, their backcountry yoga retreat center, providing yoga and off-grid education that is close to the land and rooted in sustainability. |
The pair started a nonprofit, Riding On Insulin, in 2010 which Mollie ran as Executive Director, until Sean took over in 2018. It was then that Mollie shifted much of her focus to Yoga Hive Studios, a collective of yoga studios and online offerings located in Montana, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Alaska. 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 — whether in a yoga retreat setting or during the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings she runs online and in person. She enjoys spending time outdoors skiing and dogsledding in the winter, hiking in the summer, and playing with all their eight sled dogs all year round.
Hailing originally from Wisconsin, Mollie brings to the mat her warm, midwestern hospitality mixed with a wide range of yoga training. Her teaching draws inspiration from philosophy from the ancient Tantric scriptures including gods and goddesses, Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), Ayurveda and a deep reverence for the Bhagavad Gita. She weaves a hefty dose of Himalayan kriya, breathwork, mantra, mudra and meditation from the lineage of Kriya Yoga through spiritual master, Anand Mehrotra. This unique mix gives her classes a grounded and magical vibe — students can feel her love for teaching to anyone willing to learn, layered with a profound gift of teaching for transformation.
