Flex Hot Yoga

Mantra’s teaching a limited 4pm Saturday during most weekends July-August at Peak Physique Hot Yoga in Underwood 🙏

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT
BENNETTS RD STUDIO CLOSURE

Dear Flex Hot Yoga Community,

It’s been an incredible 12 years at Bennetts Rd. 20,000 yogis have touched down on our mats to stretch, breathe and discover their bliss. We have inspired hundreds of yoga teachers who have gone on to transform people’s lives in Brisbane, Australia and all over the world. The impact we’ve had for over a decade in this first iteration of Flex has been astounding.

In the short-term, we’re closing our Bennetts Rd studio. The final class for the year will be Mantra’s 5pm Tuesday 5 December.

In the New Year, we plan to reopen as a home studio! With smaller class offerings, teacher training, live streams and filming for our online 200h and 300h courses. We wish to be full-time online and across various platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Spotify, Instagram and Facebook. 2024 looks to be a year where our core group of Flexies are present in person at the home studio and we discover our reach globally with the digital studio.

In the medium term, there’s a desire to open a larger wellness centre which has the following services: Hot Yoga, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Recovery, Treatment Rooms and a Vegan Cafe.

To round off the year and this era at Bennetts Rd, we’d love to invite everyone to these special events:
- SATURDAY 2 DECEMBER, 6PM: Yin Yoga and Sound Healing with Denice Cartier.
- TUESDAY 5 DECEMBER, 5PM: The final class at Bennetts Rd with Mantra Schultz.
- WEDNESDAY 6 DECEMBER, 5PM: AMA on Mantra’s Instagram .
- SATURDAY 16 DECEMBER, 6PM: Community Gathering and bring a vegan plate dinner (Save the date and location TBA).

All memberships will be cancelled. Class pack and upfront passes will be honored at our friendly neighboring studios. You can choose from Bikram Yoga (Woolloongabba), Inna Bliss (Camp Hill and Bulimba), and Peak Physique (Underwood).

For the latest news, follow on Instagram and Facebook.

We’ll provide significant updates on Instagram and Facebook.

YIN YOGA AND SOUND HEALING
WORKSHOP

Embark on a deeply immersive journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation as I, your soul guide, lead you through a unique Yin Yoga and Sound Healing experience, infused with the transformative essence of Light Language. The event gracefully unfolds with a tranquil session of Yin Yoga, where you'll be guided through restorative poses, each held with intention to facilitate gentle yet profound stretches, releasing tension and fostering an inner calm. As your body opens and relaxes, we seamlessly transition into the second half—an ethereal Sound Healing session. Immerse yourself in the resonant frequencies of crystal bowls, the soulful melodies of Native American-styled flutes, the delicate tones of chimes, and the grounding rhythms of drums. Light Language becomes a conduit for these healing energies, weaving a harmonious atmosphere that guides you into a state of profound relaxation and energetic balance. Join me in this sacred space, where the nurturing power of Yin Yoga, the diverse sounds of crystal bowls, flutes, chimes, and drums, and the transcendent language of light converge. Leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and attuned to the harmonious energies within, having experienced a holistic journey towards tranquility and well-being.

Members are free.
Tickets: $50.

Congratulations to our wonderful yogis on your Yin Yoga & Mindfulness certifications 🙌🏼❤️ Yin Yoga is a slow paced style of yoga that targets the deep connective tissues of the body, such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia. Unlike more dynamic and active yoga styles, Yin Yoga involves holding poses for an extended period, typically around five minutes. The focus is on finding a comfortable edge and allowing the body to relax and release tension. Yin Yoga poses are often seated or lying down, and they aim to gently stretch and stimulate the connective tissues while promoting relaxation and mindfulness. It is a complementary practice to the active Vinyasa form of yoga and provides an opportunity for deep introspection and inner stillness. Mindfulness is the practice of intentionally bringing one’s attention to the present moment, without judgment. It involves cultivating a state of awareness and becoming fully present in one’s thoughts, emotions, sensations, and surroundings. Mindfulness is about observing and acknowledging experiences as they arise, without getting caught up in them or reacting impulsively. It involves developing a non-judgmental attitude and accepting things as they are, promoting a sense of calm, clarity, and overall well-being. @flexhotyoga
