We're spiritual beings having a human experience

12/9/2020

0 Comments

 
I was chatting with one of our Yoga Teacher Trainees this past week for her podcast. Jen and I were discussing how I became an entrepreneur, the Yoga Hive story, Sean and my adventures building Arctic Hive, and we dove into the details of our retreats happening this March. 


And she suggested something that surprised me: "You should talk about the spiritual component of your retreats. That's what hooks me."


I paused. Spiritual?


Am I creating a spiritual experience? I can't say the word s-p-i-r-i-t-u-a-l and expect people to show up... can I?



Seriously, this was something I had to chew on.


Flash forward to Sunday. Jen and her YTT cohort graduated from their 100% virtual training, and after our closing ceremony (my all-time favorite part of the YTT experience), one of our other grads thanked me. I had tears brimming in my eyes as she said: "Thank you for having the courage to teach this lineage of kriya yoga. I can't imagine it's been easy being different, but it's important. It's life-changing."


And with that spiritual bug in my ear, my wheels started spinning again. Could I be so bold as to admit that we're facilitating a spiritual experience in Yoga Hive classes? In our trainings? On our retreats?


I mean... how can you see something like the Northern Lights, or the majesty of the Brooks Range (or BOTH at Arctic Hive!) from the comfort of your yoga mat, and NOT feel a spiritual connection to Mother Earth?
Picture
Or... how could you NOT sit in a room packed with yogis (ahh, pre-COVID times!) and —in electrifying unison —pound your fists against an imaginary wall and you breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth, working all negativity and frustration out of your body with a kriya we call Prana Shakti?
Picture
Or... how can you NOT experience joy and exhilaration as you drop all the structured poses and DANCE your heart out in the middle of a yoga class?
Picture
I love it. I seriously love all of these things, and what we've created at Yoga Hive.


But... because a spiritual experience on a yoga mat might seriously confuse a lot of people who think yoga = group fitness. I had to Google the word spirituality to make sure I understood it:


                Spirituality: the quality of being concerned with
                                    the human spirit or soul as opposed
                                    to material or physical things.


THAT. IS. IT. 


It's like that quote... Instead of human beings having a spiritual experience, we — through our work at Yoga Hive and retreats at Arctic Hive — learn to see ourselves as spiritual beings having a human experience. Using kriya, breathwork, a relatable approach to ancient philosophy, and Energy Medicine Yoga, we're exploring ourselves and learning about ourselves on a deeper level than a fitness regimen would ever take us. 


Sure, we incorporate vinyasa/power flow. We do yin, and restorative, and hatha flow. But combine all that with the mantra, mudras, kriya, breathwork, philosophy, and EMYoga ... and you've got more than a 60-minute yoga class.


You've got a yoga journey.


Not a group fitness class. Not a seminar where you listen to someone explain how you should live, or how you should move. Not a workout focused on your bum, or your thighs, or any one body part in particular. It's a yoga journey where you dive deep and realize yourself, through yourself.


And in this season of giving stuff, getting stuff, and wanting more material stuff to fill our lives with, I know I speak for myself, and our entire team at Yoga Hive. We want to rise above the noise, and dive deep. This is one of the most incredible times in our life to heed the call to learn. To study. To bring more to the table for our students who need us most.


Me? I'm right there with you. I'm seeking deeper meaning through my morning meditation, an intimate connection with Mother Earth as I build our nest here at Arctic Hive, and I seek more union with my body and my life experiences as I flow on my mat and beyond.


I'm ready to share the lineage of Kriya Yoga with more of you.


So many of you who took your 200-hour training elsewhere have asked how you add kriyas into your classes. The thing is: Kriyas can only be received by willing students from trained Sattva Yoga Master Teachers, and there are only a handful of us running teacher trainings here in the USA. 


Maybe you have no clue what kriya is, and maybe you're not even using your teaching credential in the classroom, but all this talk about being more spiritual is intriguing to you? Listen to the whisper, my friend. 


Introducing:
Himalayan Kriya Yoga Teacher Training... happening February 10th-14th, 2021 — the missing link for any 200-hour Yoga Alliance-certified yoga teacher who wants to up-level their teaching, and impact students with more than just asana.

Dates:
(All held on Zoom with plenty of breaks and a balance between activity and sitting still!)
  • Wednesday February 10th — 4-9pm MST (this night is all focused on meditation, so if you already practice the Sattva Yoga Meditation Technique regularly with a guru mantra, you are able to miss this evening and watch the recording)
  • Thursday, February 11th — 4-9pm MST
  • Friday, February 12th — 8am-6pm MST
  • Saturday, February 13th — 8am-6pm MST
  • Sunday, February 14th — 8am - 4pm MST
Although we discourage yogis from missing any live sessions, please reach out if you've got a minor conflict with the dates. We do record everything, and we do allow make-up work for missed hours on a case by case basis!
You'll receive:
  • Initiation into the Sattva Yoga Meditation Technique 
  • The support and the nudge to finally create a lasting, daily meditation practice that —if practiced diligently — will change the way you approach your life, for the better.
  • A custom guru mantra for your meditation, given just like our lineage has done for thousands of years. The mantra is channeled through me, as I've been trained to do, and is chosen to match your unique vibration. This mantra serves to deepen your connection to your meditation practice.
  • Initiation to teach 10 pranayamas and 20 Kriyas that are unique to Sattva Yoga and Yoga Hive, so that you can teach them to your students.
  • A gorgeous manual to guide our journey through this program
  • Support from me with the pranayamas and kriyas as you practice and experience them for yourself, through your own studies so that you feel adequately experienced and prepared to teach them to your students
  • Daily lectures that break down Vedantic Philosophy and the Tantric Energetic Body into bite-size pieces that make sense of the components of kriya yoga.
  • Online connection long after the training through our private, online social network that is NOT on Facebook so that you can ask questions and feel supported as you start bringing these technologies into the world (yes, we've heard you — we're over Facebook, too!)
  • A tight-knit community of spiritual seekers and dreamers in this course, along with a supportive network of Yoga Hive YTT alumni who will be so honored to welcome you to our tradition!
  • Yogis are eligible to get 35 hours of CEUs with Yoga Alliance for taking this course.
Plus! I'm tossing in $500 in added value! You also get:
  • 3 months of unlimited livestream yoga with Yoga Hive (a $204 value!)
  • 3 months of access to on-demand streamed classes, featuring a teachers-only content with Yoga Hive teachers on Yoga Hive Connect ($60 value)
  • 3 consecutive months' access to Yoga Hive's NEW Soulful Sadhana program ($132 value!)
  • $100 credit toward any other future yoga training with me in 2021 (yes, there are more coming!)

Your investment:
  • Early bird price (pay nonrefundable $250 deposit before January 1st): $829 
  • Regular price (sign up after January 1st): $999
  • Payment plans are available on a case by case basis!

--->> CLICK HERE TO PAY IN FULL, EARLY BIRD PRICING NOW!



Discounts:
  • Veterans are eligible for 15% off
  • Yogis who have already been initiated by me into the Sattva Yoga Meditation Technique with a guru mantra, and have maintained a consistent daily practice are eligible for $200 off the training price at the time of registration.
  • If you've already received initiation into all the Kriyas through a Yoga Hive teacher training, but want a refresher on this material, you can enroll in this program for a total of $125 (bonuses not included)
*Reply to this email if you'd like to get a code to register with any of the above discounts!


Mollie, what if I'm ineligible for the kriya weekend training because I haven't taken a Yoga Alliance-certified 200-hour training yet?

You're in luck! In Yoga Hive's 7-month 200-Hour YTT, you get everything listed above (yes, everything) ... and much, MUCH more. Early bird deadline coming up is December 31st! Save $250 by registering between now and then, and paying on a payment plan of your choice. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to reply to this email. I will make myself available for questions and concerns you may have! CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS


A few more things you don't want to miss: 
  • Still loving that Northern Lights photo above? Another spot was claimed last week for our Alaskan Northern Lights, Yoga + Adventure retreats this March... get your spot before there aren't anymore available — price goes up Jan 1st! CLICK HERE FOR ARCITC HIVE RETREAT DETAILS
  • Aerial Yoga Teacher Training will be offering LIVE online via Zoom this January with me! Have a rig in your home? Dive in with us... DETAILS
  • We're hosting a Candlelight Yin Yoga + Sound Bath at the studio for the solstice! In studio only — get your spot, as space is limited! DETAILS

In love and spirituality,
Mollie
