6 reviews for Invoke Yoga & Pilates Studio
I've been going to Invoke for pilates for about 3 months.
I've taken classes from about half the instructors now, and while they each have their own unique focus, they are all fantastic. They truly care about teaching, and helping you reach your goals.
Everyone is encouraged to go at their own pace and to do what feels comfortable.
I'm going to try one of the heated yoga sessions soon.
Highly recommend!
Great yoga studio!
Went for their open house taught by Amy (owner) and Erin, great work out and had a cocktail party after. Signed up for 10 yoga sessions
Intentions:
Release all tensions from the day, relax yet invigorate my mind & body. Find the joy in the end of the day and prepare for tomorrow.
Accomplishments: Yoga...Bliss!
I came to this class hungry to sweat, purge & leave all my recent past behind to emerge feeling renewed...Eric is the yogi that helped me achieve...brilliantly.
I participated in his 7pm vinyasa yoga heated class and surprised myself with the poses I was able to complete. I love that though this class is heated you do not start out at the high heat...instead the room starts warm and continues to heat up as you also build your own inner heat...each forward bend I did...I did just a little further and for the first time warrior 3 did not seem so far out of reach.
I urge Indy aspiring yogis....come...walk through the open doors...find your yoga bliss.
Namaste.
I am a yoga and pilates novice, and when a friend suggested we take their Intro to Yoga Workshop ($55 for 4 classes, plus your first regular class), I was a bit nervous and intimidated. I'm not that flexible and don't have much balance either, so I was afraid I would make a fool of myself. I probably did a few times, but it didn't matter. Many of the teachers have studied yoga in NY and LA and the students are really into practicing yoga, but none of them seemed to have the yoga-snob attitude that was making me nervous! A great place to go if you don't know much about yoga or pilates but want to give it a try!
We took the beginning classes with Amy, the owner. She is a fantastic teacher. You will get a great workout and she'll offer tips on how to get the most out of your poses. By the end of the class series, she even had us standing on our heads! I recently went back for a Saturday class - basic vinyasa yoga. Ahna, a new instructor taught it. I highly recommend taking one of her classes - she is fantastic! She seems very calm and earthy, taking a spiritual approach to yoga, but you'll be sore the next day from a vinyasa session with her.
As another review noted, Invoke is a little pricey. However, you will get top-notch instruction, a clean and modern atmosphere and a great workout. Check the website and sign up for their email newsletter - they have good promotional prices from time to time. Or, you could check out their Community Yoga classes on Sundays from 4:30 to 5:45 - it is only $5 a class!
Great location for anyone working downtown Indianapolis. Seems a little pricey but that is probably what you get for location, etc. Studio area is located in a historic district so it has a lot of charm but it is also renovated well so it looks modern and clean. Awesome new pilates and yoga flooring. Even has an area to keep your bags and things while you are in class. Two bathrooms for changing into your clothes and even clothes, matts, and other pilates and yoga paraphernalia in case you forget your own or want to expand your collection. Has a lot of different pricing, class and schedule options...everyone seems super nice...I was given a tour when I stopped by to check things out. Parking might be a hassle and it was an adventure trying to get there but I have never really been in that area so you know.

Well, I finally signed up for a the new student package -2 weeks of unlimited yoga and pilates. Too bad I did not take a better advantage of it -:(. It has been a crazy week for me. The times I did get to go to both yoga and pilates, I was utterly and thoroughly impressed. Instructors are friendly and helpful. They guide you through the work-out whether you are brand new to the whoe idea, if you are advanced or whether you are just a little rusty. Was impressed with how comfortable you feel even if you are a new student and a little rusty. Everyone makes you feel so welcome. I will definitely be going back!
I have been going to Invoke for about 3 months and I'm hooked. I take Pilates 4 days a week now. The instructors are top notch and each one has their own routine which really works out all parts of the body. I also appreciate the class availability - nothing better than working out right after work and it's only 10 minutes from my office.... Very positive atmosphere and great people!
