Who is this program for?
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!

Schedule
Not sure if you could sit on Zoom that long?
We balance our days with ample time to move, breathe, work in Zoom breakout rooms with partner(s), discuss as a big group, practice yoga and listen to lecture. Below are sample schedules from a short evening and a longer day.
Also, let's address the elephant in the room - we know you're thinking, 'How am I going to fit this into my schedule?' How do we know you're asking this? Simple! Because we all do. It may seem the most impossible of tasks to get all the ducks to line up so that you have the time to make this training work for you - but we promise, just as it happens every single time, with a little pre-planning and the Universe conspiring on your behalf, it will work out just fine!
Typical Wednesday, Thursday or Friday Evening:
4pm-5pm: Yoga Practice
5-5:30pm: Break with journaling
5:30pm - 6:00pm: Asana, Kriya or Pranayama technique and anatomy breakdown from what we learned in class
6:00-7:15pm: Break
7:15pm-8pm: Discussion of textbook reading as a large group, or in small groups
Typical Saturday or Sunday:
7:30am-8am: Group Meditation (we teach you how and walk you through it!)
8am-8:30am: Journaling and quick break
8:30am-9:30am: Yoga Practice
9:30am-10:15am: Breakfast Break
10:15am-12:15pm: Morning lecture
12:15pm-1pm: Afternoon break (usually with some inquiry/homework)
1pm-3pm: Asana breakdown, practice teaching, discussion, etc.
3pm-3:30pm: Break
3:30pm-5:30pm: Revising some breakdown or sequencing, and ending with a low-key evening practice to allow everything to sink in.
*Schedule is a sample only, and is subject to change based on feedback from previous YTT sessions!

Prior to taking Yoga Hive's Online YTT, I had a fear of not being good enough, of not doing enough yoga to qualify, and a fear of not being thin enough. I'm so glad I signed up. I thoroughly enjoyed the dedication from Mollie and Blaine. The online was not a barrier because the wealth of knowledge and broad topics extending beyond asana came across virtually. I would definitely recommend the training. Believe in your instincts that you have been drawn to Yoga Hive for a reason!

The Yoga Hive YTT has truly changed my life. I could not have imagined how much I would evolve during the training. I have learned to love myself again and to be grateful for my life. I also, now, respond from a still center, instead of reacting, when stressful situations occur in my life. I am excited to live each day and to continue to learn and grow and see where this journey takes me. I am eternally grateful for going through this experience.
— Melissa C., Spring 2020 Online
I think my biggest hesitation at first with Yoga Hive's YTT was my age (I was 58 when I signed up). Also, I really didn't think I wanted to teach yoga, so what would be the point? But then life happened in a big way, and when I read the outline for the training, I saw that it was about much more than learning how to sequence (teach) a class, and I knew it was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time. I think the biggest change I've noticed in my life since completing the training (changes that began even before the training, from reading the required texts) has been learning about what makes me, me. Good and bad. And giving me tools to deal with the stressors of life. And of course, developing a daily devotional practice.

Mollie Busby
E-RYT 500, RPYT, RCYT; Kriya Yoga Master Teacher; Founder of Yoga Hive & Arctic Hive
Owner, 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 and Wisconsin. 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 nine 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. 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.
