What do our past students say? |
|
I am so grateful for taking my Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Hive Colorado. I began my time at Yoga Hive as a student in the various classes and loved Blaine's energy and all her teachers. I've wanted to do a teacher training for years and I knew I had to take it at Yoga Hive.
I went in to the training wanting to learn the poses so I could teach classes. I did not expect that Yoga is so much more than poses! In addition to excellent and focused instruction on the poses, I created a personal practice of meditation that gave me the strength I had been looking for in both my personal and professional life. I built a strong, yet beginning, understanding of kriyas, mudras, the history of yoga and my personal yogic lineage. I am so beyond grateful for this training because I learned so much more than I ever expected. It gave me roots to improve my quality of life and reaches so much deeper than simply learning the poses. Blaine and Mollie are incredible yoga masters to take your yoga teacher 200-hour certification course with. I continue to take trainings with them because I have so much to learn. - Laura B., Student, Fall 2019 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 Blaine and Mollie. 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! — Jennifer T., Summer 2020 Online 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. — Suzanne V., Late Winter 2020 Online |

What type of yoga do we learn?
Although our program is inspired by the Kriya Yoga lineage of Babaji, 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 put an emphasis on practice teaching so that the material becomes ingrained in each trainee. We will experience many different styles, transitions and postures, and experiment with sequencing a gentle yoga class (slow pace), a Honey Flow (medium pace), and a Hive Flow (faster pace), and whether you intend to teach upon the conclusion of the program or you're taking it for professional 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, online using Zoom! This is the BEST way to culminate your training, and you'll also be learning a valuable skill to teach yoga online in the future, if you want to serve the world in this way!

Mollie Busby
E-RYT 500, Sattva Yoga Master Teacher, and 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.
