Originating from within ancient yoga systems of India, chakras are energy centers where consciousness and the physical body meet. In our chakras, we receive, assimilate and transmit life’s energies.
This workshop series will introduce you to the 7 main Chakras in the body. In each stand-alone practice, we'll explore how each individual Chakra is connected with our mind, body, and spirit well-being and understanding of who we are. We'll go on a journey to engage all of the senses through an experience designed to unlock, clear, and balance the energy at each Chakra.

Meet Shelle Kuntz
Shelle was first introduced to Yoga in 2002 through a DVD that she purchased for her high school kids to use in between sports practices! After years of electronic Yoga, with the ability to stop and start the video to get proper instruction, Shelle’s son, Brad stopped by the Flathead Valley in 2015 and offered daily private Yoga classes for 4 months, teaching everything he’d learned in his own Yoga Teacher Training! Summer 2015, Shelle was encouraged to find her own Yoga Community. Yoga Hive was the first and only stop on the list!
Shelle lived in Asia for a number of years, has travelled the world over and has a love for other cultures. She has deep family roots in Montana and has lived in Whitefish for 20 years with her husband and golden retrievers! Together they raised their three children in our beautiful little community to be independent thinkers and to go out and make the world a better place. Her favorite name these days is her grandma name, Lolli!
Always an educator, teaching on a variety of topics to all walks of life, Shelle felt called to share her love for Yoga and Mindfulness in this next chapter of her life. When she’s not teaching, you’ll find her in her garden, hiking with friends, making music both vocally and on the flute, and volunteering within our wonderful community. You will begin to recognize her infectious laugh throughout town!
Shelle’s teaching style offers mindfulness, breathwork, and a thoughtful flow of movement sprinkled with wisdom and joy! You’ll leave your mat feeling positive and ready for life ahead!
