I have been exercising under Brian’s guidance for over 10 years now. What started as a journey into yoga has slowly grown into a practice incorporating various training and exercise disciplines crafted together in a perfect combination to address my physical needs and goals. Most recently I discovered that I had Lyme disease, the effects of which seriously hindered my physicality. But through Brian’s guidance over the past 6 months, I have regained much of my lost strength and balance allowing me to finally feel strong and normal again. Brian doesn’t stop at just the physical practice however. His approach additionally focuses on nutritional health along with meditative and mental centering skills to truly care for the entire being, not just the body. Brian has trained me through all the peaks and valleys in both my body and mind and his attentive nature means that each time we meet, he crafts just the right routine based on what’s happening for me that day, even if that calls for an extra 30 mins of meditation! I am very fortunate to have Brian in my life and look forward to training with him every week, even when he makes me do burpees!

I’ve been working out with Yogi Brian Buturla for about 6 months now and it is quite simply the best training and exercise experience I have encountered in my 62 years. Being a good motivator is a key attribute of any personal trainer, and certainly Brian is a fantastic motivator. What sets him apart though is that his motivation techniques spring from a well of kindness, caring, and compassion. Brian is genuinely interested in how he can meet me where I am on any training day, and he modifies his approach to training to mesh with not only my growth in fitness, but also the ebb and flow of my energy. He perfectly mixes safety, novelty, and hard work, and the result is nurturing and inspiring. Certainly, Brian has a deep understanding of exercise techniques, but to this knowledge base Brian adds a stunning facility in yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, and energy flow in general. The result is a fluid exercise regimen that has helped me to reach peak fitness in strength and flexibility, while reestablishing my connection to my energetic body. I’ve never been in better shape and I’m looking forward to growing even more with Brian’s help and encouragement.

Today is my birthday. I moved away 6 years ago and Yogi Brian still remembers me, sends me a Happy Birthday text every year on this day, he even beat my mother, sisters and best friend. This year on my birthday I wanted to say Thank you to the best Yogi Teacher I have ever had.Brian said in class one day, and I will never forget this. “The teacher doesn’t find his students, but rather students find their teacher.”Mind, Body and Soul - I promise anyone who isn’t sure if they should go to him to practice, you will be everything that Yoga offers you if you let him guide your practice! I wish for anyone reading this to find him and let him show you all the beauty a true Yoga Master can offer you.

I have been working with Brian for 4 years both in the context of yoga classes and 1:1 training. Brian is really tuned into all of his students and gets to know them on a personal level whether that’s in class or in a private session and tailors the workout to each individual. Brian has recently been helping me work through a chronic pain issue, creating a program suited to my specific needs with actionable steps I can take on my own. Our latest virtual session left me 99% pain free which is no small feat. Brian is committed to the success of each of his students and consistently goes above and beyond. He has been the biggest differentiator in my progress.

My journey began when I gave myself several small injuries from exercising. Yogi Brian answered my request for a trainer with real enthusiasm. I had interviewed a few other trainers. They were also good trainers, but didn’t give me a sense of recognizing my personal goals.One conversation with Yogi Brian and I could tell he would tailor a program for my unique movement—to adjust and strengthen what I’ve been injuring. He is absolutely passionate about health and wellness. It comes out in his energy and training.We’ve had 5 sessions and my injuries are essentially gone. My ultimate goal is to look as sculpted as Misty Copeland. Already, my glutes and quads are shaping up, my core feels strong, my posture is straightening. I’ve made more progress in 5 weeks than I did on my own in 2 months. It’s been the best investment in myself.I also do weekly dharma yoga classes with him. My experience has been in vinyasa and dharma is where I finally feel connected to my body through yoga. Highly recommend!I live across the country in Colorado. Virtual sessions have been the perfect way to stay safe during quarantine. I haven’t trained virtually before, but the sessions and yoga classes have been going really well. Brian explains the moves and adjustments to make it feel like we’re all in the same class together. Overall, my training sessions have been valuable and I’ve enjoyed working with Brian. I can finally see my dream body coming to reality, worth every ounce of sweat! I recommend investing in your health and avoiding all types of injuries on your way by working with Yogi Brian.

Brian Buturla’s Private Studio is what it’s all about—this is where the magic happened for me. My work with Yogi Brian has been nothing short of transformative and I feel truly blessed for the path that led me to him. With each passing week, my body has become stronger and more flexible and my mind increasingly centered and focused. I feel a sense of balance in my life with a deepening resolve to achieve my highest self.An extraordinarily gifted yogi with certifications and training in sports and rehabilitative medicine, TRX, kettlebell, internal energetic arts and ayurvedic healing and medicine, Yogi Brian is in a league of his own. His unique multi-disciplinary approach nurtures the mind, body and spirit. With a steadfast dedication toward my growth, Yogi Brian is always fully present and has meticulously tailored each of my sessions to meet my ever-changing needs and goals. He begins and ends with beautiful words of encouragement and wisdom that remind me to believe in myself and to soar as high as I know that I can.Brian has created an absolutely gorgeous private studio that is impeccably clean and filled with state of the art of equipment. It is the ULTIMATE playground! And with the challenges presented by the current environment in which we live, I am thrilled with the online learning program he has introduced, which has allowed me to continue my inspiring journey without disruption. Yogi Brian a remarkable human being and a master of his craft. He is patient, compassionate and kind and I trust him. If you seek to better your body and elevate your mind as I did, I highly recommend that you sample the “Yogi Brian” experience. I don’t think you will be disappointed!

I highly recommend Yogi Brian studios and have had a wonderful experience here! Trainer Brian has been very helpful and extremely knowledgeable in regards to his training technique and education. He assesses each individual needs and works on a program to help strengthen and improve body alignment and physical mobility! I have felt less pain, increased flexibility and improved strength over the time that I have been working with him. I used to attend a larger group yoga studio but found the individual training and smaller group yoga sessions really focused on my specific needs. As a Ironman, marathon runner and now expecting mother I can’t emphasize the benefits of what working with Trainer Brian has achieved enough. I am grateful that I started coming to this studio and the quality level of care and training that I continue to receive!

I love Yogi Brian because underneath the Teddy Bear demeanor lies a "serious dude†dedicated to helping make every moment meaningful for his client. Brian is dedicated, mindful, generous, expert, and kind. In my humble opinion, his practice he is a testament to the irreducibility of love and faith. If you don't believe it, check out Yogi Brian's phenomenal credentials and client testimonials. Or, better yet, spend time working with him. There is no life like this one!

I enthusiastically endorse Yogi Brian. When I first noticed Yogi Brian's studio, I was already working out in a gym and keeping my body relatively fit. He won't remember it because he has helped so many people over the years but Brian called me up and made a pretty persuasive pitch for getting in the best shape of my life. In my head, Yogi Brian seemed to be about more "serious" fitness. I wanted more change yet I was not committing yet. Did I really need to make wholesale changes "now" to live a happy life? I decided to tuck the intention away for some time in the future. Now, nearly 20 years later, I am very glad to be working with Brian and Colleen at Yogi Brian's studio. They are quite the committed pros!. Not demanding, just committed. As I later found out, if I wanted to be my best self, or some facsimile, the key was having a strong purpose or intention for doing the work or practice. That's it. I love Yogi Brian because underneath the Teddy Bear demeanor lies a "serious dude" dedicated to helping make every moment meaningful for his client.
