Biotonic Brickell

I have been practicing yoga for about a year, so I still consider myself a beginner. I heard about Biotonic Brickell, and decided to give it a try. It is a very intimate and peaceful studio. I loved Brian’s class. Brian has so much energy, but still very calming. His class left me feeling wonderful. Can’t wait to go back for more!!!

I have been doing yoga for five years and just started with Biotonic Brickell and I am convinced they are the best. And the Power Plate machine is the bomb. I love this place and the owners feel like family to me.

My husband and I have just started with this yoga studio. We are very new clients. We both have done yoga elsewhere and stopped for a couple of years as I can only speak for myself I was very tired doing it 5 days a week with a very hectic work schedule and I wouldn’t have time to breath from work to yoga and not have a bite to snack on, although it caused me a sore back and neck. We live so close to Gisele studio as we were recommended by a friend. Omg we are so happy you have no idea. We have gone to Wednesday and Saturday classes and I have never met such an amazing, personal helpful person who is so knowledgable in yoga and coaches us all the time. I seem to need more help as I don’t want to go in the wrong direction. Gisele see’s everything and will come to you and help you in every way above and beyond. She will do yoga with you and explain everything. I love the small class as she see’s and helps me in things I was never taught properly. Gisele personality is amazing and will set your mind only on the mat and reminds you of your practice, her music and thoughts and words along with stories is so relaxing and really puts you on your mat. Each day I cannot way until I see her and so her yoga class. I do what I can and she excepts that and I am most important not in pain. I highly recommend this yoga studio to anyone who wants to know the proper way to do yoga and set your mind in the right direction. Gisele is A very caring person from the moment I met her. Her heart goes out to yoga and the individual doing it. Gisele shares the energy with us. Highly recommended. I fall asleep at the rest period and have to be woken up with a tap from my husband.

I have been practicing yoga with Giselle and Naya for two years now. I have never written a review of the studio for fear of people finding it out. It’s been my sacred little studio for so long and I feel very protective of it. I never wanted to write them a review because for months I would show up to class 5 times a week to find out I was the only one there half the time. Score, private class for me.
But I guess the honeymoon is over, and people found out: Biotonic is the best.
The classes are small enough that you get personal attention — usually about 6 – 8 people. All levels are welcome and attended to. From my very early days of not being able to sit in donwward dog for more than 30 seconds to my more recent 30 second-​long handstands (ok, 5 seconds, whatever) — I’ve never felt out of place. The classes are challenging enough for an advanced yogi but still approachable for a newbie.
Gisele and Marjorie are a great team and are always welcoming and excited to see you. Naya’s Tuesday night class is the closest I’ve gotten to church/​sedatives in a long time and no Saturday is complete without Gisele’s juicy flow.
See you on the mat!

Have been looking for a great yoga studio for a long time… This is it. Giselle is amazing. Excellent teacher, beautiful soothing voice & a peaceful soul.

When I first moved to Brickell, finding a new yoga studio was no easy feat. I came from an intimate spot in Coral Springs where I was among three students and had frequent one-​on-​one lessons by luck.
I was looking for the same experience in Miami… longing for the zen moments that keep me happy, calm and most importantly: sane. I went to all studios from Coral Way to the Beach and found nothing to reawaken my spiritual prowess, until I tried my first class at Biotonic.
Nestled into a small storefront space in the Four Ambassadors, the front room is dedicated to «biotonic» power plate equipment (which I haven’t tried, but have been told offers an incredibly tough and satisfying workout). Through double French doors, the yoga studio is hidden in the back. Calming lavender walls and dark wood floors invite yogis of all skill levels.
My first class was with Gisele, an amazing instructor whose soothing voice and gentle demeanor immediately made me feel comfortable. The power flow class was simultaneously challenging and calming, as Gisele guided us through different poses, inspiring the class with powerful mantras and positive perspective. 75 minutes of pure bliss.
We ended the class in a typical shavasana (corpse pose), and Gisele went one step further in the full-​body relaxation process by massaging my tired, hard-​working feet.
I walked out of Biotonic feeling completely refreshed, relieved to have disovered my new happy place. Yes, I pay visits to yoga in the park and occasionally stop by Exhale for time with Jodi and Eben, but Biotonic is the hidden gem that I’ll keep coming back to.
Many thanks to Naya (my favorite Tuesday/​Thursday teacher) and Gisele for bringing out the «light» in me.

Great place! I love the powerplate workout– intense but also fun and so different. PLus you get a little powerplate massage to ward of soreness after. Going back to try the yoga but the owner is super nice and fun. Love this place!

Couptessa brought me to Biotonic Brickell but Gisele, the owner and one of the power plate instructors, will keep me coming back! I’m hooked!
My first experience with power plate was at Biotonic Brickell. I was nervous going as a first timer– I have two left feet and don’t do great at exercise classes. Gisele calmed my fears, made me feel extremely welcome AND gave me a great workout! She provides the perfect combination of encouragement and «push.» Plus, each «class» only consists of 3 people at most. This means that you get a TON of one-​on-​one attention and guidance. AWESOME!
I have completed 9 power plate sessions so far and am already seeing results and feeling better overall. The regular priced sessions are pretty expensive but my experience has been so great that I plan to keep going! Thanks, Gisele!!!

I wish I could give this studio 6 stars. I’ve taken Power Plate classes before, but the class at Biotonic Brickell seriously kicked my a**. My butt, abs and thighs were so sore afterward — I knew I got a great workout. Giselle was a phenomenal instructor. She was fun, professional and knowledgeable; she knew how to push me to my limit without overwhelming me. I definitely plan to go back!

Look, I have limited yoga experience but even I know that the yoga class I experienced today is top-​notch.
If you’re looking for a relaxing workout, but a SERIOUS workout nonetheless — Biotonic’s yoga class is perfect. I’ll be going back. .. Once the soreness (which is imminent) settles.
The experience was incredible.
Five minutes into the session, sweat was dripping on my mat. It was pretty fast-​paced, but easy to get the hang of (he-​llo, I’m a beginner and did pretty damn good — if I do say so myself!).
The instructor (Sorry, I didn’t catch her name!) had strong energy (does that make sense?) and so it was easy to really get into the class, to remain motivated, and push through the challenging poses.
She was also extremely attentive and would fix people’s positioning as the class progressed. At the end when everyone was just relaxing, she gave every person a mini face/​neck/​shoulder massage to ensure ultimate relaxation. Perfection.
Here are the other highlights:
1. Timing: the Saturday class is at 11 am. NOT at 8 am like everywhere else!
2. Friendliness: The yoga instructor (and Biotonic’s owner!) was ridiculously approachable and super nice.
3. Atmosphere: Biotonic is a small place with a small area for the Biotonic power plate exercises (I’ll explain later) and a yoga room, but I liked that. It made the place more comfortable and intimate.
4. Location: It’s on S. Miami Ave., so if you live on Brickell or nearby — it’s a quick walk away. It’s literally next door to Tobacco Road.
5. Price: The first session is FREE. Single sessions are $ 15, but she has monthly packages available. She currently has 6 yoga classes a week — she also offers private sessions.
I will definitely be back for Biotonic’s yoga. I think she’s got me hooked!
*Biotonic Power Plates: «Power plate uses the principles of Acceleration training exercise to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 to 50 times per second. These contractions lead to enhanced muscle strength, circulation, and performance in as little as 10 minutes a day, 3 sessions a week.» (From the website) — I haven’t tried this but my friend swears by it!

This place is the BEST! I’ve been to a lot of yoga studio’s in Miami and Biotonic has been my favorite so far. Gisele Omores is an amazing yoga instructor with attention to detail and works with everyone on their individual level of yoga. Her music is awesome. She is super sweet and classes are small and comfortable. It’s one of Miami’s hidden gems!!!
