Beyond Yoga opened a 2,300-square-foot New York City pop-up in Manhattan's Flatiron District, pairing retail with weekend movement classes led by local instructors and studios. The space will stay open through early January 2027 and will include exclusive local-to-New York merchandise.
The shop is Beyond Yoga's only retail store in the city. It builds on a 2024 pop-up that paired fitness and wellness classes with a bun-and-braid bar, while this version also rotates products, merchandise, and experiences.
For shoppers, the format turns a store visit into an outing, with shopping and classes in one place. It also gives the brand a more localized way to meet an engaged customer base, which fits the rising appeal of experiential retail.
