This is a great place if you are a young, hip, pushy college student looking for free heat or ac but it is not very welcoming to busy professionals. It is not somewhere I would send my mother. The building is beautiful and the classroom I have been in was nice. Many of the instructors are better than ones I have had other places. They have a store but it isn't really a place I feel like I can look around. My biggest complaint is that they should limit class sizes to what fits in the room or get rid of the sign up function on the website since it is only used to take money away from students. Since they require you to sign up for the class on their website that led me to believe that they did limit class sizes and the class I signed up for had room for me. I was very disappointed when I had to leave because they didn't have enough room for everyone that showed up. The atmosphere was very unwelcoming as everyone just stared at the four of us in the doorway looking for room to put our mats down. No one made any effort to make space and were glued to the floor. Those of us who aren't outgoing shouldn't have to ask people to make space when they are already squeezed too close together. The owner/manager is more concerned about her reputation and making lots of money than the students who attend class at the studio. While some of the instructors are welcoming I never felt comfortable there the way I feel I should at a yoga studio. read more

Seriously love Invoke and the knowledgeable & kind staff. Very helpful and will make you feel welcome.

I have nothing negative to say about Invoke. The downtown studio is beautiful and they offer an abundance of choices for class. I assume a lot of yoga studios are this way, but the teachers differ immensely in style - which is a great thing once you find which ones you like. They have instructors which go for more of a meditation, relaxing practice - or teachers which challenge you with more of a strength and cardio practice. Whichever your desires, you will find it here! I've done one pilates class, one beginners class (way too spiritual for my personal taste), and a ton of hot yoga classes! Those are absolutely my fave! I also love that Invoke does so much around the community, like Yoga on the Canals during the summer for free on Wednesday mornings, Yoga on the War Memorial once a month in the summer, and this year they are even offering Yoga in the Outfield at the Indians game. There is nothing more you can ask for from a studio! They even run great specials on memberships & punch cards. I highly recommend this studio for all levels and all yogis! read more

I've been going to the studio up NORTH on 86th an Guion road. It's small and the class sizes are small which is lovely. There aren't a lot of different classes up there but the instructors are patient and friendly, and I've really been enjoying it. First introduction to yoga/pilates... makes me feel good! read more

I am lucky to have made it to two classes while in town for business. This studio is great, and the instructors are very friendly and helpful. I had class with Ahna Hoke, she is a great teacher that had fun new variations that kept the class interesting and challenging. I highly recommend this studio. read more

Staff has always been friendly, calming environment, and I've always found this place to be clean, despite one bad yelp review. They do offer community classes weekly for $8 which is a great deal considering a single class is normally $17. They also have all sorts of discounted packages available. Will definitely continue to support this local place for yoga and Pilates! read more

I have a fantastic experience every time I come here. There are so many different class options that can appeal to everyone. You are welcomed and encouraged regardless of your level. And honestly, isn't that what yoga is about? Any time adjustments have been made to my form it was done so discreetly. I hope to continue to improve and grow with invoke. The athletic wear they offer are great and there are also some great local finds. Mats, towels, water are available to purchase/rent and they also have blocks and straps free to use in the rooms. The individual classes are pretty pricey so I recommend investing in a package. read more

The staff, location, and facility were excellent! Thank you Invoke Yoga for an informative and helpful session.

Invoke is a great yoga studio. It has a variety of classes at a variety of times at a variety of levels. The teachers are really good and very helpful. If you're not the most advanced of yoga students, they are completely patient with you. Invoke offers a student discount and often has package deals or Groupons (especially in the summer). Hold out for a good deal! read more

Nice studio, wide variety of options and kind, welcoming staff. I wanted to try Invoke so I purchased the 2wk $30 pass and did yoga. The studio had a few rooms from what I can tell, a couple bathrooms and a storefront. I liked that there were classes scheduled right after work, but I could never seem to fit in weekend ones during my two weeks - the ones I wanted always seemed to be at the other location. Nothing bad to report here, I just didn't really get into their yoga - maybe I like more spiritual practice. Would come back to try the ballet. read more

I have taken lots of pilates classes in many different places...this is by far my favorite! It kicked my butt like no other class and at times I will admit getting frustrated but that is what we are there for...to get an awesome workout! It rocks! read more

This place is great! The atmosphere and people are both amazing. The building is old with a modern twist located in downtown Indy making it easily accessible. There is something for everyone from $5 community classes and $15 walk-ins to monthly unlimited packages for the super yogis! Offering classes 7 days a week at a variety of times you are sure to find the right class for you! Invoke welcomes beginners (like me!) and advanced yogis alike. Be sure to check it out soon! read more

I travel for work and my new goal is to check out yoga studios (rather than restaurants - which I think will pay off in the long run!). I found Invoke online and signed up for the Wed night Ashtanga class. Wow. Amanda is a great teacher because she quickly adapted - most of the students were working on their own practice and she still provided cues for me for the Primary Series. She showed me some ways to get into poses I have not tried before. I felt so good after the class. I love when you feel that your yoga practice is moving forward. In Chicago my classes are bigger so I can hide - in a smaller class you get a lot of attention. Great location and very short drive from downtown hotel. read more

Wonderfully instructed class this morning taught by an inspiring teacher! Im an out of towner who felt very at home in this heated Vinyasa class. The instructor had a great pace, kickass playlist & a super star attitude! I got bendy & sweaty all before 9:45am. Loved this class & will be back next time I'm in Indy. read more

Amazing! The studio is clean and the instructors are welcoming without being over the top. They give you the peace to practice in your own head space, but are also friendly when you have questions. Not only are the hot yoga classes amazing, I love the barre classes. I wish it wasn't so expensive, but you get what you pay for! read more

I always imagined that yoga studios would have snobbish, competitive cultures. Perhaps that is a misperception, or perhaps many do. Either way, I was pleasantly surprised to find that at Invoke, the only studio I have visited, the culture is very warm, welcoming, and supportive. Instructors and students alike are incredibly friendly and down-to-earth, and despite many students passing through each day the instructors remember my name and, when they have time, engage in conversation with me. I always leave the studio feeling not only loose and limber but also very happy. read more

This is my 2nd favorite studio to go to for Yoga. It has several different rooms and has a large class size for downtown, good instructors. They can get crowded so make sure you get there a little early! read more

Invoke is a class-act! I have never once felt uncomfortable or unwelcome, which I feel can sometimes happen in these types of places. All the teachers I have had are great and they offer a crazy variety in yoga and pilates classes. They have mats to borrow if you need to so do and a beautiful space in which to practice. Truly a great experience. read more

Invoke is my happy place! I love Invoke because the atmosphere is welcoming, staff is incredible. They offer a wide array of classes and every teacher is a delight. I especially enjoy the bar effect class and yoga-pilates. Invoke offers GREAT monthly specials and packages that are affordable. I appreciate that there is also a satellite location on the north side so I can conveniently make it to class with my super hectic schedule. I recommend Invoke because they have the best teachers, most affordable prices, and friendly atmosphere! Thanks for changing my life Invoke!! read more

This is my favorite yoga studio in Indy. I love the Yin Yoga / Yoga Nidra classes they have once a month on Sundays. I always leave feeling so relaxed. The Yin Yoga is a slower yoga that works the bones instead of the muscle so much. I try to get to every class. The only issue I have is parking as the lot is very small and sometimes you have to park quite a ways away. Other than that, the teachers are nice and you always get greeted when you walk in. read more

Very nice and customer friendly. I had never been to a Yoga class before, but I really enjoyed it. Not like traditional exercise, it is a lot of mind exercise, too. I would recommend this to anyone, I guarantee, you will enjoy it! read more

I have been taking yoga classes at Invoke for several years now. I keep coming back because they have the best yoga teacher, Cheryl Milton. Cheryl is an expert. She is professional, engaging, knowledgeable, and challenging. If you want a challenging, yet rewarding yoga class, come practice at Invoke with Cheryl Milton. She is the best! read more

I haven't been here for a while due to work constraints, but I've always had good experiences here. They have a variety of classes for all skill levels and ages/types. read more

I love Invoke - the atmosphere, the people, the practice, everything is exactly what an urban yoga studio should be. The prices are fair, the space is the biggest you'll find in the area, and the instructors are outstanding. In fact, many of them participate in other ways in the community to better Indianapolis through local food, charity work, or other great causes. They're very in touch with the city, and the studio itself is in a great prime downtown location in a very old building. If you're considering yoga or looking for a new place to practice, you should definitely give Invoke a try - there's a great basics class right now, Ahna, Laura, and Eric's classes have been favorites, and Amanda's classes are almost always my pick because I enjoy her challenging ashtanga inspired practice and grounded attitude toward yoga in general. I also have done some workshop and events, like Valentine's Day partner yoga, yoga to a live DJ, and New Years Eve class - there's always a unique offering. read more

Love this place. Studio is beautiful with 2 or 3 rooms for yoga or Pilates. Their hot yoga room has a fireplace! So relaxing! The teachers are great. Something different every time. Great playlists. Tons of classes! I don't have to leave work early to rush to one evening class- they have several evening classes after work. read more

This place is amazing-- clean, serene, with plenty of opportunities for unique challenges. All the teachers are great. Namaste bitches.

I looked forward to visiting Invoke since the day I found out I was moving to Indy. After reading the reviews and studying their website, I was sure I would find a new home for my yoga practice. The downtown studio was one of the first placed I ventured after the moving boxes were unpacked. However, it wasn't quite the yoga fairy tale I was hoping for. When I went for my first visit, I felt as though the person behind the desk sized up my ability level without listening to me. He repeatedly questioned my ability to handle a hot class on my first visit, even after I explained I was comfortable practicing in the hot room and was coming directly from a regular heated practice at a Baptiste studio. (Let me be clear that nothing in my history would indicate that I was not equipped to practice hot yoga - no health problems, etc.). Frankly, I felt fat-shamed and got the impression I wouldn't fit it because I didn't walk in the door built like a Lululemon model. I was pretty rattled because I always thought of "yoga" and "inclusive" in the same breath. I attended a few classes (hot and not hot) after that and can't say enough good things about them! The instructors were welcoming and encouraging and so were the other participants (who absolutely represented all shapes and sizes). However, after my initial class package expired, I decided not to return because of the disappointing first impression. read more

I have been attending yoga classes at Invoke for 2 years now, and attend at both studios. I love the energy of the studio, the friendliness of the staff, and the dedication to building foundations and providing guidance to the students. While I love the studio and the teachers there, I wanted to write this review specifically as it relates to the nutrition workshop that Erica Ballard teaches. I don't want this to seem over dramatic, but sometimes you meet people, and you know they are going to change your life. That is how I feel about Erica, and I knew from her passion on our first day of the nutrition workshop that she was going to be one of those people for me. During the four weeks that we had together, she provided us with information to be able to kick-start our health journey, about food (and what is actually healthy), about metabolism and about how to work towards loving yourself. Erica provides information without an ulterior motive (something that is hard to find in the fitness world). She isn't trying to sell a specific product or workout plan, she's teaching people how to become a better version of themselves, so long as they are willing to put in the work. When I came to class on the first day, I thought I had some of my meals at least figured out and was eating things that were benefiting me, but very quickly learned that wasn't the case. An example of this is, every morning, I would start the day with a smoothie, pure fruit and fruit juice (i.e. pure sugar), and would have to chase that with more food 30 minutes later because it wasn't filling (or providing me with all of the nutrients I needed). After the first class, Erica shared smoothie recipes, and I quickly realized, my mornings weren't even off to the right start, so I had more work to do than I thought. Even with that one small change in my diet to start, I noticed a difference in how I felt and how I could kick-start my day. Over the course of 4 weeks together and implementing more and more small changes throughout (that actually taste good!), I lost 10 pounds, just in changing how I eat, and even more beneficial, I feel great! read more

The only thing I miss about Indy is invoke! And Glenna and Lindsay and the wonderful instructors. Please open a branch in New York!!!!!!!

I admit that I am a yoga novice and I don't have much of a frame for comparison, but I after a week's worth of classes with a variety of instructors, I wholly approve of Invoke. Ahna was especially good as an instructor. Her class moves at a very manageable pace for a beginner, she speaks loudly without yelling and she does a very good job of reminding the class of all of the little adjustments to improve your form. The space in both the downtown and north locations are clean, warm and inviting. The staff is friendly. There are a variety of different class options available at all times of the day and early evening. Finally, I signed myself and my fiance up for the $30 two weeks new member special with unlimited access to classes. It's a great deal when the normal single class fees are $17. read more

I've been a loyal Invoke yogi for at least 5 years, but have recently noticed some disappointing changes. I was originally drawn to Invoke because they were different than the other options in town. Invoke had masterful teachers that really understood alignment and were pros at providing hands on adjustments. The classes were purposeful, and I felt like I was getting a well-rounded yoga class, not a just an exercise class. As Invoke has expanded and more people have gone though teacher training programs, they have increased the number and variety of classes, which is great. On the down side, room space and class length have been cut from the most experienced teachers. Prices at Invoke have increased, but the quality of the teaching has not. There are lots of newer teachers and getting well-rounded classes with skillful hands on assists seems to be a thing of the past. The people at the studio are friendly and you won't have a bad class. There just isn't as much to differentiate Invoke yoga classes from classes available at other studios. read more

Conveniently located on the outskirts of downtown Indy, and offering classes at all hours of the day, Invoke is the perfect place to squeeze in your daily workout before or after work. Weekday class times vary throughout the evening, and the studio also has several 6:30 AM. classes for early birds, and noon classes for those with flexible schedules. Invoke also offers a variety of classes...there's a perfect level for everyone. The studio has two large practice rooms, and also houses two Pilates reformer machines on which the highly-trained staff offers private and semiprivate instruction. They even have heated yoga! As someone who has practiced both yoga and Pilates, I found Invoke to be a place where I could improve my practice in both disciplines. There are countless yoga studios in Indianapolis, but few have the range of programs offered at Invoke. They offer a variety of affordable packages, including unlimited monthly rates. If you're just looking to try it out, you can do a drop-in class for only $15. And if you're tight on cash and that still seems too pricey, Invoke now has two community classes that are only $5!!! Invoke is definitely topnotch and comes highly recommended. Invoke is a great fitness choice for everyone, from the yoga novice to the experienced yogi. read more

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! read more
