About Richard
Richard Schultz is a well-travelled instructor from America, who has spent more than twenty years training in yoga. He is co-founder and director of Yoga Dynamics. Richard offers training in alignment-based Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga.
Besides teaching in Malaysia, Richard has also spent time teaching in India, Thailand and his homeland of New York.
Richard has trained with many prominent teachers from various traditions around the world. He studied in India for almost three years, learning various yogic disciplines in such places as Mysore, Rishikesh, Pune, Bihar and the Himalayas. Richard’s alignment-based style was strongly influenced by Yogacharya Bharath Shetty, with whom he studied in Mysore, India. In 2004, he was introduced to Vedanta by Swami Viditatmananda Saraswati. Swamiji’s intellectual brilliance and profound depth of knowledge about the ancient Vedic tradition has been a driving force in Richard’s approach to yoga and life in general.
Aside from yoga, Richard has trained in other related disciplines, such as Qi Gong, Tantra and Vipassana meditation. In 2003, he spent an entire year in austerities as an ordained Buddhist monk in Yangon, Myanmar. Richard’s been authorized to teach Qi Gong by Master Mantak Chia.
In spite of his extensive training in the physical practices of Hatha Yoga, Richard firmly believes that the true essence of yoga is learned through the internal practices of self-inquiry, energy cultivation and meditation. He strongly emphasizes that one’s asana practice should serve the higher purpose of cultivating inner silence.
