Your facilitators
Mantra Schultz - Creator of Flex Hot Yoga & Course Director
Mantra began his yoga practice over 20 years ago on a journey through yoga temples, Indian ashrams and various parts of the globe to learn the art and science of yoga.
In 2011, he founded Flex Hot Yoga to change lives and create a central hub in Brisbane for a community of yoga teachers and students to grow together. His style as a teacher is fun and knowledgable, with a large dose of strength and challenge! Mantra created Flex’s annual yoga teacher training program starting in 2013 and has since taught a broad number of yoga teachers, both in terms of physical skill and in terms of deeply inspiring content that will nourish their students well beyond the physical level.
Living yogic philosophy on a daily basis and integrating these ancient practices into his modern lifestyle is one of Mantra’s passions. Flex’s students often comment on the incredible level of spiritual depth they encounter during their classes, and the elegance with which yoga philosophy is weaved into even the most physical asana class. This is the spirit Mantra lives and teaches, and the gift he wants to pass on to you, so you can carry it forward wherever you go …
