Ivy League Strength

After about 9 years of doing Hot yoga with Ivy I can safely say no one can compare to her and her facility. If you like the sauna and want your body to feel amazing you need to try a class. I have to say my body would never be able to work out hard and play pickle ball 2 times a week and still not have any body aches or pains. Ivy is so committed to pleasing her students that you can't help but feel amazing when you leave. Best Yoga studio in the world! It's truly Lexingtons best kept secret!! 10 stars for sure.

This place has EVERYTHING and Ivy is the cat's pajamas! She makes it all worth coming by keeping the routines unexpected but exactly what you need! Personal training to popsicles!

I was begrudgingly drug to Ivy's hot yoga 3 years ago. Having a CrossFit and lifting background for 15 years, I conveniently neglected all flexibility/mobility for years. Well, all my weaknesses were quickly exposed. And Ivy was sure to point this out to me in her 'tough-love' style. The constructive criticism resonated and I decided to make mobility a priority.After 3 years of hot yoga and private sessions with Ivy, I feel the best I have in 20 years. I'm a skier and a golfer - the mobility improvements have made me significantly better at both. And more importantly, I can touch my toes and just move better in daily life.This progress has come with a lot of pain and suffering, but it's been worth it. Ivy has been invested in my improvement, which has made all the difference. In her words, I went from a mangy dog on the side of the road to now an average functioning human. HahaLastly, there's no better way to cap off a stressful day than sweating out all your problems at 115 degrees, contemplating if you'll actually die in the process. 10/10 recommend.

Amazing hot yoga! Ivy offers 3 level classes. Beginner (Stretching), intermediate (Fast Funky), and advanced (bootcamp). She is always looking for new ideas and techniques. She is very accommodating. What I like about her class is that her bootcamp class is tough but she incorporates stretching in the class so you feel less next day.

A unique and amazing yoga experience! This is not your average yoga studio. If you are looking for the hot yoga 26 positions, you won't find that but you will find something better! Ivy provides, what feels like, a personalized, intimate, and fun yoga class. Don't be fooled, it is still a challenging workout that leaves you wanting to come back for more and burn calories. She also plays unconventional yoga music that adds to the experience. So far, I have tried the stretching and rolling recovery class. I definitely felt good the next day... the kind of my muscles ache but I had a good workout and eased my mind. I will be back to try out more classes, including buff boot camp!

PSA: ILS is the BEST hot yoga instructor and personal trainer!!! I have been coming to Ivy Invalesco for almost 3 years now and my body "thanks" her greatly! Her variety of classes, knowledge, and ability to push you past your limits is exceptional and was just what I needed to improve my overall wellness. Her hot yoga classes have options for gentle stretching, cardio (fast funky flow), strength training (buff boot camp), and recovery (rolling and recovery). My family and I have taken multiple personal training sessions as well as hands-on personal stretching classes. Ivy educates and encourages all forms of movement and is able to provide a service that many people leave out of their workouts. Stretching in the heated room, consistently, has helped me overcome shoulder and achilles injuries. If you want to be pushed, HARD, but encouraged to be your best, please give her a try! I leave each class feeling that I can take on anything since I was able to survive her workouts! Thank you for everything IVY!!!

I've been to hot yoga in other cities and so far, no one has been able to compare to Ivy. Her flow and her attention to each client is second to none. I've been taking her classes for almost four years and have never been disappointed. Another perk is that all the equipment is provided from mat to mat towel and hand towels. She also provides straps and blocks for those who need them. All you need is A LOT of water (she keeps her room 100-105 degrees) and maybe a towel for your car seat afterwards.

I love going to Ivy's hot yoga classes! I always feel great after. I have noticed a big difference in my flexibility and form after just a couple of months of going once per week. I highly recommend to try it even if you've not enjoyed yoga much in the past- this is the first time I feel like I have actually gotten anything from yoga, both in terms of mental relaxation and also for fitness.

I've been going to Ivy League Strength for about 7 years. Ivy's classes have helped me in many ways, including losing weight and gaining strength and confidence. Each class is a unique experience. Definitely the best and hottest hot yoga in town!

I started training with ivy about six months ago and I've never felt better. Her studio is clean, inviting, and I always leave feeling better than I did when I showed up. She is encouraging and kind and makes my workouts the perfect combo for me!! I have also attended her hot yoga classes and it's the same great vibe. Can't say enough good things!
