As a first timer to the world of yoga, I cant recommend Fireshaper Bundall enough. The whole staff there run the business like Clockwork. Its a very friendly environment which places close attention to every person who walks through the front door. Its clean full of like- minded participants who all share the same passion.. health. Particular mentions to Xen & Donna two of the wonderful teachers there. Absolutely beautiful people.

I like the ambience of the room and the temperature but most of all I thought the teachers were great: upbeat and welcoming even early in the morning, clear instructions and just real yoga teachings.

I'm very grateful for how much progress and healing I have made, and continue to make. Dr John came recommended to me, & I certainly recommend him to anyone struggling with any issues or pain in their body.
