When it comes to activewear, few brands have managed to carve out a reputation for both style and comfort like Beyond Yoga. Founded on the idea that yoga wear should feel as good as it looks, the brand has earned loyal followers who rave about their buttery-soft fabrics and inclusive sizing. Still, as someone who has tried my fair share of leggings, bras, and workout sets from various labels, I wanted to see if Beyond Yoga lived up to the hype—or if it’s just another brand benefiting from Instagram aesthetics.
So, I ordered a haul: leggings, sports bras, tanks, and even a jumpsuit. I wore them for yoga, pilates, strength training, and lounging around the house. This is my brutally honest Beyond Yoga try-on review—the good, the bad, and the “why did I spend money on this?”
First Impressions: Unboxing Beyond Yoga
When the package arrived, I immediately noticed the minimalistic, eco-conscious packaging. Beyond Yoga clearly puts some thought into sustainability, which is a plus. Inside, each piece was neatly folded, and right away I could feel what people meant by “buttery-soft fabric.” The Spacedye material, one of their signature fabrics, is velvety smooth, with just the right amount of stretch.
I ordered several items to really test the range:
- Spacedye Caught in the Midi High-Waisted Leggings
- Spacedye Lift Your Spirits Bra
- Featherweight On the Down Low Tank
- Spacedye All Day Flare Pants
- Spacedye Jumpsuit
Price-wise, Beyond Yoga isn’t cheap. Leggings run around $100, and bras hover near $60. My haul easily crossed $400. At that cost, I expected premium quality.
Leggings: Are They Worth the Hype?
Let’s start with the core of the brand—the Spacedye Midi High-Waisted Leggings.
Fit: The leggings hug the body without feeling suffocating. I’ve tried other high-waisted leggings that dig into my waist or roll down during workouts, but these stayed put. The waistband is wide, supportive, and surprisingly flattering.
Feel: Beyond Yoga’s Spacedye fabric is honestly one of the softest I’ve ever felt. It’s smooth, stretchy, and breathable, making it great for both workouts and lounging.
Performance: During yoga, I noticed they didn’t slide down, even in downward dog or more dynamic flows. For strength training, they held up well with squats and lunges—no see-through moments. But here’s where honesty kicks in: for high-intensity workouts like HIIT or running, they felt a little too warm and not quite as sweat-wicking as some other performance fabrics.
Verdict: Fantastic for yoga, pilates, and casual wear. Not my first choice for heavy cardio.
Sports Bras: Support Meets Style?
I picked up the Spacedye Lift Your Spirits Bra, which is marketed as medium support.
Fit & Comfort: The bra is comfortable and pairs beautifully with the leggings. It has a scoop neckline and crisscross straps that look cute peeking out under tanks. However, support-wise, this bra falls firmly into the “light to medium” category. For yoga or walking, it’s fine. For running or HIIT, absolutely not.
Fabric & Durability: Just like the leggings, the Spacedye fabric feels luxurious. After a few washes, the bra still looks new, with no pilling or fading.
Verdict: Stylish and comfortable, but if you’re looking for high support, Beyond Yoga is not your brand.
Tanks & Tops: Do They Elevate the Outfit?
I tried the Featherweight On the Down Low Tank, which is one of their popular tops.
Fit: The tank has a relaxed fit that drapes nicely without looking sloppy. It’s slightly cropped, hitting just above the waistband of the leggings, which is flattering without showing too much midriff.
Fabric: Featherweight fabric is lighter than Spacedye, with a soft, almost cooling touch. Perfect for layering or wearing in warmer weather.
Performance: Breathable and flexible, though not particularly sweat-wicking. I wouldn’t wear it to a hardcore cardio class, but for yoga, errands, or casual wear, it’s ideal.
Verdict: Great everyday tank that doubles as athleisure wear.
Flare Pants & Jumpsuit: The Lifestyle Pieces
Beyond Yoga isn’t just about traditional workout gear—they’ve leaned heavily into athleisure.
Spacedye All Day Flare Pants: These pants are ridiculously comfortable, with a retro flare design that elongates the legs. They’re high-waisted and pair well with both sports bras and casual sweaters. Honestly, they feel more like lounge pants than workout gear, but they’re chic enough to wear out to brunch.
Spacedye Jumpsuit: This was my splurge piece, and it did not disappoint. The jumpsuit is sleek, supportive, and surprisingly flattering. It hugs curves without clinging awkwardly. However, I’ll be real—the bathroom situation is inconvenient. It’s not something you want to wear if you’ll be running errands for hours. Still, as a stylish yoga-to-street piece, it’s a winner.
Pros & Cons: The Brutal Truth
Pros:
- Buttery-soft fabrics (Spacedye is unmatched for comfort).
- Flattering fits, especially the leggings and jumpsuits.
- Inclusive sizing (XXS–4X, which is better than many activewear brands).
- Versatile pieces that work for both yoga and daily wear.
- Durable fabrics that hold up after washes.
Cons:
- Price point is steep (leggings over $100, bras around $60).
- Limited support in sports bras—definitely not for high-impact workouts.
- Fabrics can feel warm during intense exercise.
- Some designs (like the jumpsuit) aren’t the most practical for everyday convenience.
Who Should Buy Beyond Yoga?
If you’re someone who:
- Loves yoga, pilates, or low-impact workouts.
- Wants activewear that doubles as chic loungewear.
- Values softness and comfort over maximum sweat-wicking performance.
- Appreciates inclusive sizing and stylish, minimalist designs.
Then Beyond Yoga is worth the investment.
But if you:
- Primarily do high-intensity workouts or running.
- Need maximum sports bra support.
- Prefer budget-friendly options.
You may want to look elsewhere (brands like Lululemon, Nike, or Athleta might suit you better).
Final Verdict: Beyond the Hype
So, is Beyond Yoga worth the hype? Yes—with some caveats.
Beyond Yoga nails comfort and style. Their pieces are versatile enough to transition from yoga studio to coffee shop, and their fabrics are some of the softest I’ve ever worn. The leggings alone are almost addictive—I found myself reaching for them even on non-workout days.
However, this brand isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. If you’re looking for hardcore performance wear, you’ll be disappointed. But if you want high-quality, flattering, and comfortable activewear that makes you feel good both in and out of the studio, Beyond Yoga delivers.
Would I repurchase? Absolutely—for yoga, pilates, lounging, and casual wear. But for running or HIIT, I’ll stick to my more performance-driven brands.
At the end of the day, Beyond Yoga is not just about activewear—it’s about comfort, confidence, and clothes you’ll genuinely want to live in. And for that reason, despite the steep price, I’d say it’s a worthy addition to your wardrobe.
