Our Owner & Founder, Mollie Busby
|
Mollie and her husband Sean are the owners of Yoga Hive Montana.
After moving west in 2010 from her home state of Wisconsin, Mollie began an important journey. Not only westward bound and in love with (her now, husband) Sean, Mollie’s sense of adventure was just beginning. That year, she made her husband’s idea a reality by incorporating Riding On Insulin — a nonprofit organization that empowers kids, teens and adults living with T1D through action sports. Today, she serves as the organization’s part-time Operations Director, helping to write grants and run ski/snowboard and mountain bike camps around the world. It was during those years that Mollie developed a love for travel and backcountry skiing, and was introduced to yoga. What started as an effort to make friends, ended up blossoming into a love for yoga, meditation and furthering her practice. Mollie and Sean moved to Whitefish in 2013 because they found the community engaging, stunningly beautiful and the ideal place to raise a family. Mollie trained in the Baptiste-inspired style of yoga at Container Collective Yoga in Lakewood Colorado, and completed the Art of Assisting program through the Baptiste Yoga Institute. She is also a certified Unnata Aerial Yoga Instructor, and completed her 200 Hour Teacher Training through Figure Yoga in Colorado. |

Mollie and Sean live on an off-grid homestead just outside town with their two fur children, Daisy and Glacier. They live summers in their 30-foot yurt and winters in a 400-square foot tiny house — both of which they built by hand. See their episode of Building Off Grid on the DIY Network below, and a video tour of their yurt at right. Follow their homesteading and worldwide adventures at TheBusbyHive.com.

Our Manager

Brittany KinniburghI began practicing yoga when going through a challenging time in my life. It brought fun, flexibility, strength, and self-analyzation to my mind and body. It didn’t take long for it to become a part of who I was (and am). In December 2017, I decided to take a break from my home state (Tennessee) and spend a year in Montana. I also decided I wanted to get my 200-hour yoga certification. Lucky for me, I found Mollie in the small town of Whitefish. After one meeting with her, I was hooked and super stoked to start my training. When teaching yoga, my goal is that everyone will leave my class feeling just a little more open and spacious. Yoga isn’t about perfection or being “the best.” It’s about learning more about yourself as a human and, as you learn more about yourself, making positive changes in your life. I’m excited to begin this new part of my journey as a certified yoga instructor!
