Hot yoga is a series of poses, or asanas, carried out within a heated environment, typically 100 - 105°F, and a humidity of 40% - 50%.  The heat and humidity allows increased flexibility in the body, helping you gradually attain your personal best with the poses, whilst simultaneously expelling harmful toxins from your body. It will also assist you with a range of benefits, from regulating body weight and toxicity levels to building core muscles, improving balance, increasing energy, assisting sleep, and decreasing stress.

The combination of the poses and the warm temperature helps stimulate and restore health to your joints, organs, muscles, and immune system whilst detoxifying your body. With our variety of of yoga classes on offer corresponding with all age and skill levels, Fire Shaper has evolved and redefined both the heated yoga and the traditional yoga experience to the modern lifestyle.

HORRIBLE!!!!! I would not recommend this school to anyone I know…. The teacher Therese picks favorites they only care about your money. She is everything that yoga is not….The training was a mess and a joke… Everything was thrown at us last minute what was on the test. We didn’t teach each other the sequence till the last weekend. “Dr” John the owner forced us to take his workshop claiming it was “included in our price” it was like a brain washing session. I’ve honestly never been so upset and so unhappy with people that should be spreading kindness and the love of yoga to be manipulated and put a huge damper for many who paid to not even want to teach… It’s heartbreaking to watch how many people they have crushed over money. The worst part the training manual was wrong… we had to cross things out the sequence wasn’t even right.. I’m so upset they stole 4 grand from me and didn’t even properly train us. The 5 stars left by others were probably forced to leave that review because they received classes to teach.. you have to suck up to the teacher to be able to teach nothing to do with your skills or what you learned.. not everyone got a spot to teach so I’m not sure who was picking and choosing that but how wrong when coming out of a training program.. I RECOMMEND THIS TO NO ONE!!!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!! Full Review
