I have been working with Brian for 4 months now, and I have lost 1.5" around my waist, 12 pounds, and I'm more flexible now than ever. Our workouts are fun and productive, and Brian is a pleasure to work with!

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.

Love Yogi Brian!
I always have fun in our sessions and leave feeling refreshed, mindful, and happier 🙂 I do virtual sessions and even through Zoom he is great at demonstrating and correcting my yoga poses! Photo is me doing the legs to wall exercise Brian taught me.

Updating a year later to add some new progress! Legs up the wall & meditation

YOGA WITH YOGI BRIAN

My name is Rick and I am the Director of Senior Services at a residential building for seniors in Stamford CT. During the COVID pandemic we were challenged to provide remote services to our seniors many of whom had a fear of even social distancing because this illness was deadly. To help keep our seniors active and engaged, we solicited the services of YOGA instructor Brian Buturla. Brian came highly recommended and had the personality as well as the skills to teach YOGA remotely.
We held our first remote class on May 21st, 2021, and met twice a month for one hour. Initially we had a class of 4. Once COVID
Restrictions were lifted we began to meet in person twice a month; first for one-hour sessions and then increased it to 90-minute sessions. It’s now September 2024 and Brian has shown that with his increased class of 10 participants many of whom have medical and health concerns, he is able to engage them with individual mobility exercises that help to improve their flexibility and body strength. Our seniors look forward to working with Brian and have a pleasant demeanor after every session.
Brian includes breathing, meditation, light weight exercises and Yoga in his sessions and the participants have all said they enjoy the sessions. I highly recommend Brian for anything YOGA!!!! The service is beyond excellent.

Yogi Brian’s teaching cannot be more wholesome to my physical health, mind and spiritual journey. He is truly a gifted individual who is passionate about his yoga practice and coaching, always calm, cool and inspiring. His approach to wellbeing is outstandingly incredible with bountiful resources, focusing on the beauty and simplicity of the practice as the ultimate happiness and peace in today’s world. His guidance though meditation, yoga principles and fun facts here and there make his classes so enjoyable. A complete workout for the body and a nourishment for the mind.

I met Yogi Brian at a private session, then joining his classes. His personal attention to my health condition, physical ability and state of mind are phenomenal. His wealth of knowledge and experience in fitness training combining with classical yoga practice are a great combo! He takes his time to know his students, which fosters a great teacher - student relationship. The workshop I attended was amazing with beautiful live music, great great energy and positive vibes from everyone in the room. It is was encouraging and a lot of fun!!

Yogi Brian's studio is beautiful with vibrant colors and a soothing feel to it. Always a great vibe, ever immaculate. You just want to hang out there or go to his class again the next day after being sore from the last class ( also because inversions are so much fun!!). I love that his classes are small so you get more room and attention to improve. He continuously challenges his student while being versatile with the different levels making them feel comfortable, safe, grounded, and interactive. My energy level, awareness and calmness increase at the end of each class.

Alongside with Yogi Brian, Colleen (his wife) has provided me with exceptional customer service with setting me up as a first timer and always answering my inquiries promptly. What a great team they make!!

I could not think him enough for a glimpse of this complete practice that I can see an overall improvement that has led me to a deeper understanding of my own spiritual journey. As long as you are willing to do work with Yogi Brian, the results are wonderful.
