A few weeks ago Jodi from IamBeyond.com asked if I’d be willing to try out some Beyond Yoga clothes to review for the site. Honestly, I was a little hesitant. Especially when I saw the price tag on some of the items. I’m just not the kind of person that spends 80 bucks on a pair of pants. And I’m talking jeans or dress pants. Yoga pants?? You’ve got to be kidding.
But I agreed and a few days later I received my pair of lagoon blue yoga pants and grey straight back cami (both pictured above). I was immediately impressed by the feel of the clothes. They were soft, luxurious and when I put them on, snug without being constrictive.
Since I received them I’ve worn them to the gym, to the movies, and even on my recent trip to California (totally awesome for long plane rides). Besides the feel of the clothes I’m most impressed by the supportive nature of the material. This cami has been the ONLY tank I’ve been able to wear bra-less with complete confidence. Seriously… I always thought those build in bra tops were a joke. I still always wore a bra with them anyway (I can’t be the only one!) but this one delivered, at least for me. I realize not all women are ummmmm “created equal” in that department. ;~P
Overall I’m quite impressed with the clothes. They have a great selection and I can’t see how any of their other pieces wouldn’t be of the same quality.
Any Beyond Yoga fans out there? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
If you are interested in trying any Beyond Yoga items for yourself be sure to use the promotion code RONI30 for 30% off your order at Beyond Yoga. It’s good until January 7, 2010.
Full Disclosure: Beyond Yoga shipped the clothes free of charge to me to try and I negotiated a discount for the readers of Roni’s Weigh. I have no relationship with Beyond Yoga and I was not paid for this review. (I will be putting disclosure statements like this on all future reviews due to the new regulations).

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

From the girl who wears Target and Old Navy yoga clothes, I get what you’re saying about the $80 pants. However, having tried on a few (not bought them, mind you) pairs and tops lately, I have to say I do notice a difference and I have to think I would definitely notice it in my practice. 30% off is a nice discount– so good of you to always negotiate that into your deal! :)
Hope you’re feeling better, Roni!

I’m with you on ng id of money. I don’t even spend that on nice clothes.
And the shelf bra thing is so right. I always wear my regular bra because I have a bit on top that a thin piece of fabric can not contain.
I might have to check out the website and see if I can get one of those tanks based on your recommendation with the discount.
Can I get that body to go with the pants??? LOL!
The price is steep, but they sound really comfy! Might be a nice gift for someone.
Interesting. I snapped up a pair of expensive yoga pants on clearance by a company called Moving Comfort. I found them for $9 at T.J. Maxx, and immediately they became my favorite workout pants. I looked up the company online to buy another couple pairs, and to my amazement they were $60 a pair! Obviously I didn’t buy any. I will, however, be putting them on my Christmas and birthday lists from now on! Maybe I’ll have to give Beyond Yoga a try, as well, since obviously quality does make a difference.
I consider built in bras to be my excuse not to wear TWO sports bras :)
I heard of lululemon and they seem just as expensive, but like your review, I am told that they are awesome. So now Ihave to decide on which expensive work out clothes I should buy!
Wow. Those look really good. I bet they feel good to wear, too. I wish I had the cash to buy those pants. Maybe in a few months when I finally get employed. I seriously haven’t found good yoga pants here where I live. I have been using uncomfortable cycling shorts that cut off my waist. And I haven’t gotten around to sewing my own. It’s sad.
Do the pant sizes run small, large, about normal? I’m always hesitant to buy clothes online, even if they are just workout pants. I’ve heard they’re awesome!
I’d say normal or even a little big. She sent me a small and normally take a medium in pants but these fit great! I think it’s the material.
I LOVE my beyond yoga pants– I have 3 pairs– all bought on sale. Now that you have negotiated this deal, I might have to go for a 4th. I live in these at home and I practice yoga in them too, so a 4th pair are not unreasonable. I have pRana yoga pants, but those are not nearly as comfortable/soft.
