What is Buti Yoga?
Jack UtermoehlButi yoga is a high-energy fusion of power yoga, tribal dance, and plyometrics, designed to build strength, flexibility, and endurance while embracing self-expression and empowerment.
Known for its vigorous pace and dynamic movements, Buti yoga combines rhythmic beats, deep core engagement, and primal movement patterns to create a powerful, transformative experience.
The practice is both physically demanding and emotionally liberating.
Origins of Buti Yoga
Buti yoga was created in 2012 by Bizzie Gold, a celebrity fitness trainer, as a blend of traditional yoga, tribal dance, and plyometric conditioning. Inspired by ancient movement techniques and modern fitness science, Buti yoga was developed to empower practitioners through movement, breath, and music.
The name “Buti” is derived from a Marathi word meaning “a cure that has been hidden or kept secret.” This reflects the practice’s philosophy of unlocking inner power and healing through movement.
