From the reviews

I joined this studio about 6 months ago and I can’t say enough good things about my experiences. I love how devoted Brian is to teaching. He has helped me understand my poses better than anyone else has done in the 20+years I’ve been doing yoga. I also love the differences in teaching in Sarah’s class..

★★★★★ — Christina, Dec 2023

Body Tonic SF has been a transformative part of my health and wellness journey. As someone who studied Public and Holistic Health for over a decade, I still have struggled with implementing and maintaining a consistent, dynamic and effective physical exercise routine into my daily living.

★★★★★ — Megan, Nov 2024

I recently had the pleasure of attending classes at Body Tonic SF yoga studio and I must say, it was an excellent experience. The classes cater to different levels and preferences. Brian is not only a skilled yoga practitioner, but also an attentive instructor.

★★★★★ — Julie, Mar 2024

When I met Yoga Tonic’s owner Brian before my first class this month, he asked if I had any injuries. In response to my long list, he said “I can help you heal your body.” Honestly that sounded like magical thinking. But when you are in daily pain - and facing scary “s” prospects - you’ll try anything!

Your first hot yoga class at Body Tonic SF

Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
