About Ivy

It's difficult to explain how you could find so much joy in suffering. This is such an awesome experience. I felt like I'd died and came back to life in class. Your body will thank you.

Ivy really does go above and beyond! Her tough love is the best, she won't baby you but she truly does care about her clients. Ivy will always incorporate different things that will help everyone improve their overall health.

I couldn't imagine doing hot yoga anywhere else! Highly recommend to give her a shot!

Ivy’s the best! If you want to do a workout that challenges you… makes you push yourself… and by the end of it you’re all smiles because you finished but your so PROUD of yourself… then you need some IVY in your life. That’s the type of workout you will get everytime! Definitely not a waste of time! Strength is everything and IVY focuses on you getting stronger not just physically but mentally too! So happy I joined.

Go to her for Hot Yoga, Thai Massage, and personal training!! 💪🏽🏆❤️

I cannot verbalize the uniquely wonderful experience that is Ivy’s hot yoga classes. I’ve went to Ivy’s for over 10 years. Every class offers unique experiences to transform your mind and body. My favorite class is Ivy’s Fast Funky Flow. Vinyasa flows to loud rhythmic music is the best! I also love her person recovery sessions and Thai massage sessions. Do you mind and body a favor and check out one of Ivy’s classes today!

From Tin Man to Stretch Armstrong - it started when I was begrudgingly drug to Ivy’s hot yoga 2 years ago. Having a CrossFit and lifting background for 15 years, I conveniently decided to neglect all flexibility/mobility. 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 2 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. Haha

Ivy is the best yoga instructor. She really cares about her students, & goes above and beyond to remember her students’ limitations due to prior surgeries/injuries, and suggest modified poses so everyone can still participate safely in her classes. I had surgery earlier this year, and she has been so kind and inclusive, I am so thankful to be able to take her yoga classes! Her playlists are also very creative, & are much more fun than your typical “mediation” music. And her studio is very clean!

Ivy is one of the best instructors ever. Every class is different, and you don't need to know anything about yoga to start. And if you already do a lot of yoga, her class bring your practice to the next level. She loves what she does and is great at it! I highly recommend it.

Update June 2020: Ivy has opened up her new studio and it's amazing! Beautiful and immaculate. I've been taking classes with her for 4 years and she just keeps getting better. She offers creative classes of ALL kinds and is more of your anti-yoga yogi if you will:) No granola or chakra aligning per se but you are encouraged to express yourself and have a badass time doing it with LOTS of sweat and cursing. It's always fun and everyone of every level is welcomed.

I LOVE IVY!! She isn’t your typical yoga instructor and that’s what I love most about her. She is a mix of Rock Music and Trap music hahah She will climb on you and put her body weight on you to help you get a deeper stretch. (It sounds weird but man, my hammers love the extra love) Of course only if you raised your hand when she asks if your okay with being touched. Another big shout out for asking for consent! She has evolved so much since I first went to her back in like 2015-2016 and it keeps getting better and better and she pushes you in all kinds of way. She keeps an engaging social media accounts that keep her clients up to date and informed on classes, class themes, and any cancellation/reschedules. Communication is number one! I highly recommend her to any beginners or experienced fitness/yoga enthusiasts! You will not be disappointed!

As someone who had never really done yoga before, I was a little skeptical the first time I went to yoga at Ivy League Strength. That skepticism did not last long at all. Ivy puts you through a great workout that is effective for all skill levels and always finds ways to push you just a little bit further than you think you are able to go. I've found yoga to not only be very relaxing, but an awesome total body workout as well. Ivy is wonderful at providing personal attention to all of her students, and makes sure everyone gets as much as possible out of her classes. I couldn't recommend Ivy League Strength enough to anyone looking for a great yoga class in Lexington!
