Yoga Hive Studios / Arctic Hive 

Off-grid Himalayan Kriya yoga teacher, dog musher, and Vedic astrologer living above the Arctic Circle in Alaska, leading lineage-rooted trainings and immersive retreats.

Mollie Busby is a lineage-rooted Himalayan Kriya Yoga teacher, writer, and retreat leader who has taught and trained thousands of students and teachers worldwide over the past decade. After beginning her journey in vinyasa, her path led her to the Himalayas, where she immersed herself in the ancient teachings of Kriya, pranayama, meditation, subtle body anatomy, and yogic philosophy. Her teaching weaves these timeless practices with modern accessibility, making the energetics of yoga feel tangible and transformative for students of all levels.

Beyond yoga, Mollie also serves as Director of Operations for Riding On Insulin — the nonprofit she and her husband, Sean, founded in 2010 to empower youth living with type 1 diabetes through action sports. The heart-centered leadership and resilience cultivated through this work continues to inform the way she teaches, holds space, and builds community.

Mollie lives fully off-grid above the Arctic Circle in Alaska’s Brooks Range — the “Himalayas of the Arctic” — where she and Sean built Arctic Hive, a wilderness lodge and retreat center featured in Outside Magazine, USA Today, and Oprah Daily. Between leading retreats in the Arctic, she facilitates yoga teacher trainings, continuing education immersions, and an online membership platform that blends yogic wisdom, breathwork, kriya, meditation, and cosmic timing.
