​Who is this program for?​

All ages, all perspectives, and all ability levels are welcome to join Yoga Hive's hybrid 200-hour 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!

But don't take our word for it... here's what students are saying about our IN-STUDIO and ONLINE experience...
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., Fall 2019 In Person


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

​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.

— Lindsey H., Fall 2018 In Person

What type of yoga do we learn?

Our program is inspired by vinyasa styles of yoga, the Kriya Yoga lineage of Babaji, 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! This is the BEST way to culminate your training, and you'll also be learning a valuable skill to teach yoga in the future, if you want to serve the world in this way!
