What is Fire Shaper?
Hot yoga is a series of poses, or asana’s, carried out within a heated environment, typically 39 – 41°c, and a humidity of 40% – 50%. Bikram Choudhury originally introduced his version of Hot Yoga in the 1970s called Bikram Yoga which, quickly became one of the most adopted yoga practices in the US.
The heat and humidity allows increased results and 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 losing fat, building core muscles, improving balance, increasing energy, assisting sleep, and decreasing stress.
The combination of the poses and the increased temperature helps stimulate and restore health to your joints, organs, muscles, and immune system whilst detoxifying your body.
At Fire Shaper, we offer a dynamic range of hot yoga, hot mat Pilates, and deep healing classes designed for every age and experience level. Our heated studio experience blends the intensity of hot yoga with the precision of Pilates and the grounding power of traditional yoga to deliver real results. Expect improved flexibility, core strength, body sculpting, stress relief, and a powerful mind body connection.
We have redefined the heated yoga experience by combining intelligent sequencing, breathwork, and purposeful movement inside our infrared heated rooms. Whether you are looking to build strength, increase mobility, reduce tension, or elevate your overall wellness, our classes are designed to help you move better, breathe deeper, and live stronger.

Our Origin
Fire Shaper is the vision and creation of Dr. John Surie, founder, teacher, and lifelong student of movement, healing, and human performance. With studios in both the United States and Australia, Fire Shaper has grown into an internationally recognised hot yoga community built on strength, integrity, and transformation.
Dr. John is a licensed chiropractor in the United States and Australia and currently practices in Australia. A life-long martial artist and certified hot yoga instructor, he began practicing heated yoga in 2000 and quickly recognised its powerful impact on strength, mobility, and overall wellbeing. His background in chiropractic care, biomechanics, and athletic training deeply influences the Fire Shaper method and teaching approach.
In 2002, Dr. John opened the first Fire Shaper hot yoga studio in Westwood, New Jersey and the first Australian studio on the Gold Coast in 2012. Since then, Fire Shaper has expanded into multiple purpose-built studio spaces, continuing its mission to help people move better, breathe deeper, and live stronger through intelligent heated movement practices.
