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).

If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...] -
I just made a quick, tasty one pot meal the whole family ate without complaint! And when I say "whole" I mean WHOLE! The Baby, The Little Guy, AND The Picky Eater Husband! Here's the story…I was in NO mood to spend a lot of time on dinner. The thought [...]

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.
