Beyond Yoga's size-inclusive leggings read like an independent LA brand, but Levi Strauss & Co. bought it outright in 2021 for about $400 million. Federal investigators later found its Los Angeles contractors had denied 165 garment workers overtime pay; Beyond Yoga paid $1.16 million to resolve it.
The Big Picture
Levi Strauss & Co. has owned Beyond Yoga outright since a roughly $400 million cash purchase in 2021, and in 2024 replaced co-founder Michelle Wahler as CEO with an outside hire from Athleta; co-founder Jodi Guber Brufsky remains as chairwoman and chief creative officer. Its supply chain carries its own record: federal investigators found in January 2024 that Beyond Yoga's Los Angeles contractors had shorted 165 garment workers on overtime pay, and the company paid $1,164,634 to resolve it. The brand now answers to Levi Strauss & Co.'s corporate leadership, not to the women who built it.
