Yoga Hive's 6-month 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Boulder County, CO is geared at everybody and every body.
Yes. That means YOU!
We plan for this to be a small, socially distant, in-person training. We will move the training to a live-stream platform if needed. We have very successfully taught 200 hour YTT in quarantine creating a beautiful and whole experience with the same curriculum.
Would I recommend others take Yoga Hive's YTT? Hands down, DO IT!
This program was the best thing I've done for myself in years. I gained a real sense of community. Not only with the other women in our training, whom I love like sisters now, but also with all the other yogis on the journey—the yogi you see every Friday in class while in training, the yogi who taught us how to teach every Saturday morning, and the Yoga Hive community in general. YTT gave me the tools to start to understand yoga, and that journey to truly practice yoga will be lifelong.
My advice is this, regardless if you want to teach or not, you will make intense friendships, you will gain an understanding of yourself that you did not have before, and your practice will truly transform, which in turn will transform your life.

Who is this program for?
Everyone is welcome to join Yoga Hive's 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training in Colorado. YES, seriously!
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.

What type of yoga do we learn?
Our program is inspired by Vinyasa styles of yoga (moving breath to movement, sometimes called Power Flow), Energy Medicine Yoga, Himalayan Kundalini and more! Throughout over 200 hours, trainees will learn how to sequence their own classes, at their own pace. We will experience many different styles, transition 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 your own learning and development, rest assured you will feel confident with sequencing and teaching many different ability levels!
Content:
180 contact hours and 20 at home practice hours to experience the full scope of yoga, in history and the present, on the yoga mat and on the path to self knowledge. The Yoga Hive teacher training will keep your eyes bright and your mind sharp as we teach you how to lead classes through vinyasa sequences. Beyond the scope of the required Yoga Alliance curriculum, we will delve into the following topics, offer each trainee a brilliant program manual, surprise perks, and more!
- Physical Anatomy, as it applies to teaching yoga
- Energetic Anatomy, including the Chakra System, Koshas, and Bandhas.
- 50+ asana breakdowns, with both English and Sanskrit terminology
- Mantra and Mudra
- Himalayan Kriya Kundalini

Yoga Hive Studios founder, Mollie Busby E-RYT 200, RYT 500:
Writer, yoga teacher, dog mom, backcountry skier, world traveler, and lover of all things business, Mollie has been empowering leaders and coaching others through experiential education and yoga since 2004.
Her nonprofit, Riding On Insulin, serves hundreds of kids with type 1 diabetes every year around the world through action sports, and her brainchild Yoga Hive is known for making yoga and yoga teacher trainings inclusive and dynamic within the communities it serves in Montana and Colorado.
Mollie's teaching style is vinyasa-based, focused on helping yogis of all abilities have an inspiring and fulfilling experience of both yoga and meditation. Mollie's classes have a distinctly playful, yet powerful energy — combining her certification to teach both Energy Medicine Yoga based on the work of Montana-native Lauren Walker and Donna Eden, and Sattva Yoga of the Himalayan Tantric tradition under Spiritual Master, Anand Mehrotra. Her power vinyasa roots come from her best friend, Brittany Hopkins of Container Collective Yoga in Lakewood Colorado (a Baptiste Yoga Affiliate Studio). Other influences come from her training in Art of Assisting through the Baptiste Institute, Unnata Aerial Yoga, Kids Yoga, as well as Yoga Anatomy training through Leslie Kaminoff and Amy Matthews.
Mollie and her husband Sean have been featured on HGTV and the DIY network for their off the grid homestead in northwest Montana, where they live with their three dogs (Daisy, Glacier and Powder). When not in Montana, Mollie and Sean spend time living past Homer, Alaska in Fritz Creek — an off grid community where they can see the ocean and glaciers every day!
