BriannaI fell in love with yoga as a teen and have found so much appreciation for my journey as a yogi ever since. My goal is to teach students to come at every obstacle with patience and kindness. Originally from Wyoming, Montana is gladly my second home. However, traveling around the world is a passion of mine. Change and adventure seem to always be calling my name. With adventure comes new people, culture, music, and experience, all my favorites. I believe in connecting with nature and getting outside as much as you can. During my teacher training at Yoga hive I found community and value. Training led me to so many open doors and opportunities. In class I encourage an open mind, discover what you never knew you were looking for. Always come as you are, blessed is the road that comes next.

BrigidAt first yoga was always a physical attraction to me. I love the way it balances my body with all my outdoor activities and adventures as the seasons change. Over the last few years, I have sought out and encompassed more of a spiritual attraction and mindful connection to yoga. Wow, such a game changer! There are so many gratifying aspects to yoga, and they all make me feel SO GOOD. I am honored to share with you what I have learned on this journey so far! Let's inspire each other. See you on the mat or on the water!

BeccaHello! My journey with Yoga began in college as merely a way to stretch out on rest days from cross country and track practice. It took many more years of sporadic dabbling to discover the myriad other benefits of Yoga. The more I learned, the more I wanted to learn! I started to seek out a community with fantastic mentors to help me build a more consistent practice. When I found this at Yoga Hive in 2024, things escalated quickly to teacher training :) I’ve been a lifelong teacher (and student!) in horsemanship. Building confidence, breaking down the tough stuff into building blocks, and sharing the joy of those "lightbulb" moments when something clicks- I love it! And I'm loving applying my passion to Yoga. Outside the studio, you can probably find me at the barn or on the trail…unless it’s raining…then I’m baking treats and scheming up a new project of some sort.

ErinHey, y'all! I first found yoga in 2016 during my year long sabbatical from Corporate America. What started as a way to improve my physical heath ended up saving my mind and soul in that particularly dark time in my life. I transplanted to Whitefish from Atlanta late 2020, where I was introduced to the magic of Yoga Hive. After attending the retreat in Spring 2022 in AZ, I finally listened to my intuition and signed up for Yoga Teacher Training receiving my 200 hour certification in January 2023. I'm excited to share my passion as both a perpetual learner and teacher with you as you travel on your own yogic journey. Let's learn and grow together! During the week you can find me working from home leading a talented team of 40 Client Success Managers across North America at Benevity. When that work is finished, I enjoy hiking, skiing, golfing, reading, crosswords, and of course getting my yoga on. I have two wonderful kids, Jack and Audrey, who are in college in Georgia.

Hillary Hillary began her yoga journey later in life when a job change also came with a need to re-evaluate how she was caring for herself. She started down the path of meditation and through her connection to Yoga Hive Montana found her way to Yoga Teacher Training. She completed her 200-hour training in October 2021. She brings with her a passion to ensure yoga is practiced on and off the mat. In each of her classes you will find the incorporation of prompts to help you think through how the work you do in the class can crossover to your daily life.

KristenYoga has given me countless moments of awe—of joy, transcendence, respect, beauty, quiet introspection, and a deep appreciation for the cosmic divine. I’ve fallen in love with the grace and the infinite journey of lifelong learning that yoga offers. After completing a transformative YTT Intensive in Mexico with Yoga Hive, I became a certified yoga teacher. I'm a mother of two amazing kids, a wife, and a lover of art and music. I grew up in Kalispell and have lived across the United States and abroad, gathering inspiration from each place. Through yoga, I look forward to continuing to learn from others and to offering fresh, meaningful experiences to your practice.

KristiKristi grew up in Columbia Falls and is a local business owner and physical therapist. She believes our bodies have an amazing ability to heal and adapt to our daily challenges. Losing strength and your balance as you age is not inevitable. You can develop your balance, gain strength and improve your flexibility no matter your age or abilities. Kristi’s classes are not traditional yoga classes. They are designed to challenge your balance and build strength and mobility. Kristi enjoys creating new exercise routines and is happy to modify any exercises to help everyone be successful in her classes. She uses a variety of exercise tools from exercise bands, and hand weights to body weight exercises. Proper posture and exercise mechanics are encouraged. Kristi enjoys getting outdoors and spending time in nature. She loves to find adventure and new places to explore with her husband, Shayne. She and her husband have three beautiful daughters who are now off to create their own adventures.

LisaI’ve been practicing yoga for over 15 years, but just decided to take the plunge into teaching. The inward journey that yoga takes you on is so personal and unique. I look forward to walking with you and helping guide your own transformation through movement, mindset and life giving breath (prana). Off the mat, I can usually be found tending to my 3 children, caring for my many animals or exploring our beautiful valley via skis, paddle board and horseback. My goal for us all is that our internal landscape be just as magnificent as this stunning place we live in.

MeganHi friends! I'm Megan, and it's my honor to guide you through your yoga practice. Yoga found its way to me in 2016, after struggling with tension from a physically demanding job. What began as a means to release tension and build strength, turned into a deep love and spiritual liberation. Yoga has the ability to take us into our own hearts and explore ourselves with loving awareness. It's my goal to create a safe and empowered environment to help you let go of limiting beliefs and evolve into the person you want to be on and off your yoga mat. Whether it's your 1st class or 100th, you are always welcome here. Let's flow together on this journey of self-discovery! I can't wait to meet you <3
