Brian is extremely knowledgable in his arts. The cues he gives just clicks for me and addresses problems I've had for so long. He gives individualized variations for all levels as well as hands on assistance. You know how rare this is if you‘ve been to a few studios.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for thoughtful instruction and a supportive environment.I’ve been coming here for three months and it’s been great. I’ve never been to a yoga studio where the teacher consistently corrects your form to make sure you’re engaging the right muscles and preventing injuries. I’m recovering from ACL reconstruction, and coming here regularly has really helped with rebuilding my stability. I also see other people with injuries or mobility issues, and Brian is great about offering modifications so you can get the most out of the practice while minimizing risk.

Body Tonic SF is a life saver and a safe space for selfcare. I live in San Leandro but pet/house sit in SF every summer, and the studio has been a refuge for me and. something I look forward to. Although, Im still a beginner, Brian is patient and meets me where I am, gently guiding, helping me get stronger. Im appreciative of the patience, grace and kindness shared by everyone at the studio, but especially by Brian. Don't believe me? Sign up and find out.

As advertised, it's not like other yoga studios: it's a calm place with small groups, allowing Brian, the instructor, to guide you personally.

I feel exceptionally excited about my Body Tonic yoga course. Everything about the room is perfect. The diversity in the room is a great representation of San Francisco. I don’t feel overwhelmed by the heat, it’s just right. The instructor is very attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. I’m really enjoying my experience.

Brian is fantastic and has helped me so much on my PT journey. He is super mindful of modifications and keeps a close eye on all his students to make sure their form is correct. When I went, I felt like I had never truly gone to a yoga class until I went to Brian’s at Body Tonic. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Fantastic. I recently moved into the neighborhood and walked past Body Tonic. I was intrigued by the affordable intro price, but I quickly enrolled in the monthly membership after attending several yoga classes. Brian identified my injuries and gave pointers during class to build strength and prevent further injury.

2025-04-09T18:49:39.169Z

I’ve been attending classes at Body Tonic SF and absolutely love it! Brian is an incredible teacher—so knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. He takes the time to correct my form when needed, and I truly appreciate how supportive and hands-on he is throughout each class. I always leave feeling stronger, more aligned, and more grounded. The studio has such a welcoming and calming vibe too. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality yoga experience in San Francisco!

Excellent yoga studio. Owner is a great guy and teaches a solid yoga class.

2025-02-06T17:26:08.292Z

Body Tonic has been the perfect space to get me back in shape after surgery and a sprain. Brian knows his stuff and makes sure I am increasing mobility without injury! I am starting with yoga classes and moving up to lift soon. Such a supportive studio and community.

2025-01-28T20:37:41.638Z

Walking into my first yoga session at Bodytonics, it was everything I expected…because the website prepared me. I knew to come 10 minutes early, be hydrated, bring a beach towel, not eat at least the last 2-3 hours before and to do the diet check up questionnaire. Yet once there, what blew my mind was Brian’s attention to the details, like the protocals of his studio’s cleanliness, his individual attention of knowing everyone’s name and their goals …and making sure he understood mine! And lastly, Brian was constantly walking around making sure he gave everyone individual attention! I finally found my place here!

2025-01-13T05:05:49.939Z

This workout awakened muscles I never knew existed. The location, facility, and instructor were all top notch. Can’t recommend Body Tonic enough!

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.During a class assignment, I was directed to set a personal health goal and commit to a 30-day health challenge.That’s when I discovered Body Tonic SF, and I’m so grateful I gave it a try.Brian Monnier’s realistic and personalized approach to wellness made all the difference. Having faced my own challenges with eating and body image disorders, the combination of yoga and individual lift sessions at Body Tonic has become instrumental in my journey toward wellness. His program also includes unique tools for eating healthy and determining one’s food type (carb, protein or mixed).I’m proud to share that I successfully completed the 30-day challenge, attending classes 3–4 times a week.Furthermore, beyond that, I found myself motivated to increase my frequency and explore other forms of exercise in the months that followed.Since March, I’ve lost about eight pounds, toned up, and built muscle. More importantly, my relationship with my body has significantly improved.While this is a lifelong journey, I know that regular yoga and lift sessions at Body Tonic will remain an essential part of my overall wellness.I would encourage everyone to give it a try. He frequently has introductory specials and is one of the few teachers in SF who has been teaching this long, running his own studio.

I'm using the 30-day trial version and it's great. It was my first time doing hot yoga, so it was difficult, but I loved it.

2024-04-06T21:01:35.035Z

I’ve been going here for two years and I love it. Brian is great, the vibe is great, and the people are super friendly. It’s bikram but not super hot. Brian can modify all his poses for any injury, and really understands body mechanics. My posture, overall strength, endurance, and flexibility have all improved a LOT. I also do his strength training which was the key to take my fitness to the next level. I can’t recommend Body Tonic enough.

2024-03-22T21:10:56.943Z

Brian is what made myself and my husband sticking to yoga. He gives you individual attention unlike other group yoga classes where you are just going with the flow.

2024-03-21T21:38:40.923Z

Body tonic sf has changed my life. My energy level, flexibility and strength have improved dramatically since I committed to classes with Brian.

2024-03-21T20:47:21.642Z

2024-03-21T19:10:33.817Z

I can’t recommend Brian’s classes enough. I joined about a year and a half ago after a similarly long break from fitness and it’s been transformative. Brian gets you to perform at a high level of effort, day after day, and leave happy. I have never gotten so much personal attention and adjustments from a yoga instructor, and as a result my posture, flexibility, and general energy are as good as they've ever been. I understand and am more in touch with my body than any time in the 30+ years before this. Brian meets you where you are at, and as a man who has always enjoyed yoga but struggled with flexibility, that has allowed me to get into postures I had never done correctly before and truly progress every week. Highly, highly recommend this studio if you are committed to changing your life.

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! After three knee surgeries and dozens of professional consults, it has been an extraordinary experience to have finally found hope. That’s not a cliche. In our first few minutes together Brian identified what will be our first project - how to restore my feet and gait to return to proper alignment. He literally “taught” me (and I am not “young”) how to walk correctly. Through wisdom, kindness, and humor Brian has moved my body and mind into a place where healing has already begun. I am so grateful. Thank you.

I’ve been practicing regularly 2-3 times a week with Brian at Body Tonic for close to 3 years now and having been a former Bikram practitioner, appreciate his focus on form over heat. Temperature of his practice is much more conducive to pushing your poses without overdoing it. At 54 years of age my form and flexibility have gone next level since working with him and Sarah and the reasonable class size allows for more personalized and constructive guidance. Studio is always clean and it’s a convenient location between Van Ness and Franklin. Highly Recommend!

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. He is always there to guide and correct my posture, ensuring that I was getting the most out of each pose. His attention to detail and personalized approach made me feel supported and encouraged throughout the class.What I really enjoyed about Body Tonic SF was the element of fun that was infused into the classes. While the focus is on yoga and improving flexibility and strength, the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. There is a sense of community and camaraderie among the participants, which added to the overall positive experience.If you're looking for a yoga studio that offers excellent classes with an attentive instructor like Brian, and where you can have some fun while improving your practice, I highly recommend Body Tonic SF.

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.. she adds more core instruction and her knowledge and instruction in yoga helps me keep my focus on my body and my breath.One of the main reasons I joined this gym was because it also offered a lift class. This is a whole body workout that is centered around the core. I have learned so much about my body in this class definitely found muscles in my core that I didn’t know existed.This place offers the whole package for getting in shape the right way. I’m loving my transformation so far and excited to see what the future brings!

Spacious dry-heat studio with instructors who are knowledgeable and generously provide specific posture advice..

Game changer

One of the best yoga studios in CA. Heated perfectly. Gorgeous, clean studio. Outstanding instructors.

2020-05-27T13:12:31.984Z

CYC is amazing! From great communication to an Awesome class. Karen was my instructor for my first class and she is warm, caring, positive and motivating. Her energy is calming and welcoming. I highly recommend California Yoga Company.

Brian,I have been buying "first timer offer" packages in every yoga studio nearby for the past two years. Yours was the best. Thank you for helping me. Now that I have decided to become a yoga instructor, I will rely on you as an inspiration because of your excellent sequence of postures and knowledge of proper, helpful form. Thanks for that.Kind regards,JustinP.S. My bike ride from Washington D.C. to San Francisco in 2019 was incredible. May have booped a coyote.
