If you haven't tried hot yoga or pilates yet...- you've got to go. 3okMillionaires recently discovered Invoke studio. Located on Ft.Wayne street in downtown Indy, this studio offers an unbelievably dynamic schedule packed with Vinyasa Yoga (a flowing yoga that ties movement with breath), Mat Pilates and Reformer Pilates (IM=X) classes.
Invoke has been ranked #1 in City Search in both the yoga and pilates categories (rightfully so). This is definitely a studio you want to try out. Bursting with energy and good vibes, we highly recommend checking it out for yourself.
Cas, Marge, Amy and myself ventured to Invoke to try the HOT YOGA. (FIRST CLASS IS FREE!!) We all came prepared in our spandex, which is definitely a must. A big bottle of water and a towel are necessities to surviving a hot yoga class. You can purchase water ($1) if you forget to bring your own .. and you can borrow a clean towel for (.50). Invoke does have yoga mats you can borrow for free but, I would highly recommend bringing your own- as you will be sweating ...allll over it.
We really enjoyed sweating out our toxins while awkwardly laying in what the yogi's call the "dolphin pose." Hot vinyasa yoga burns about 500-600 calories an hour, depending on your body type and intensity. The room is all sorts of hot and humid so - don't make any plans following this class.
The best things about Invoke I've discovered so far:
1. community yoga ($5) ...talk about a bargain!!
2. reserve a spot ahead of time online (awesome!)
3. schedule is online and kept up to date
4. First saturday of the month- a free class is offered for beginners
5. innovative and trendy classes/ideas (i.e. a 2 hour vinyasa class with a DJ spinnin'hits in the background)
You'll for sure leave engergized and ready to change the world.

Oooh, the perks: You get 10 percent off a package of classes if you sign up during your first, free class. I saved some hard-earned greenbacks this way.
