Beyond Yoga has landed a new pop-up in Manhattan’s Flatiron district that showcases its latest high-performance fabric and brings more in-person programming to one of its biggest online markets.
Glowzone takes center stage at the Flatiron pop-up
The Levi Strauss & Co.-owned label opened a temporary storefront that runs through early January. The space puts Glowzone, the brand’s newest technical fabric, at the forefront. Shoppers can buy exclusive New York merchandise, explore expanded product assortments, and attend weekend movement classes.

The pop-up adds a downstairs studio for classes and offers a larger selection of items for sale than Beyond Yoga’s prior New York activations. Glowzone apparel is available alongside outerwear, fleece, and lifestyle pieces, giving customers more reasons to visit in person.
What makes Glowzone a performance fabric worth noting
Beyond Yoga spent two years developing this material. It aims to serve higher-intensity workouts without the weight of heavier fabrics.
Key technical benefits
- Moisture-wicking to manage sweat during hot or intense sessions.
- Four-way stretch for movement and recovery in dynamic exercises.
- Compressive feel designed for support in strength training and running.
- UPF 50+ for sun protection during outdoor activities.
Glowzone is lighter than the brand’s Spacedye knit. It’s tailored to hot yoga, cycling, running, and studio training. The line now appears in sports bras, bike shorts, and hybrid straight-leg pants.
From leggings to lifestyle: how Beyond Yoga expanded its assortment
The company is expanding beyond its core legging business. Over the last two years, the brand added knitwear, dresses, outerwear, and casual jumpsuits to its offering.
- Leggings remain important, but lifestyle pieces now generate most growth.
- New categories include puffer jackets, knit dresses, and transitional outerwear.
- Glowzone bridges the gap between technical performance and everyday wear.
The shift reflects customer requests. Shoppers want both functional workout gear and versatile lifestyle pieces that move with them.
Why a pop-up in New York matters to Beyond Yoga’s retail plan
New York ranks among the brand’s top e-commerce markets. A temporary Flatiron location helps the label test real-world demand for products and experiences.
Beyond Yoga prefers to vet locations carefully before committing to permanent leases. The pop-up model offers a low-risk way to evaluate foot traffic and customer behavior.
Stores and footprint
- California: eight permanent stores
- Arizona: one
- Texas: one
- Washington state: one
- Illinois: two
- Connecticut: two
- Massachusetts: one
- Maryland: one
Most revenue flows through direct-to-consumer channels, though wholesale partners such as REI sell select lines.
Marketing via experience and community, not heavy ad buys
Rather than launching a large ad campaign, Beyond Yoga prioritized product seeding with fitness influencers and ambassadors. The brand invited early adopters to trial Glowzone and offer product feedback.
Physical activations also fuel engagement. The pop-up features in-person classes, and the brand schedules community events tied to its retail spaces.
Seek Beyond: Open Air and other in-person activations
- On Oct. 17, Beyond Yoga will host its first East Coast “Seek Beyond: Open Air” event.
- The program begins at the New York pop-up with a community run and walk along the West Side Highway.
- Participants will reach Edge NYC’s observation deck and enjoy a live concert by Natasha Bedingfield.
These events blend fitness, music, and community to spotlight the brand’s lifestyle ethos.
Customer feedback drives product decisions
Direct conversations inform product innovation. The CEO regularly visits stores to ask shoppers what they want next.
- Questions focus on missing items, fit, and fabric preferences.
- Pop-ups and permanent stores let customers touch materials before buying.
- Feedback loops accelerate new fabric development and assortment choices.
Financial momentum and growth signals
For the quarter ending in May, Beyond Yoga’s net revenue rose 16% year over year. The brand posted consecutive double-digit growth in the first half of 2026, on both reported and organic bases.
Glowzone is already contributing to customer acquisition, bringing both new buyers and repeat customers attracted to the technical line.
Editor’s note: This story was updated to reflect that lifestyle products now drive the majority of Beyond Yoga’s growth.
