Custom yoga studio t-shirts are the foundational piece of every studio apparel line. They sit between the practice tank (during class) and the studio hoodie (after class) and they are the highest-volume piece a studio sells. Here are the three tee blanks that work, who each fits, and how the studio prices them for margin.
The Bear Grips Airlume Cotton Athletic Tee (Free $23.93, VIP $19.88) is the community-studio default. Soft 100% combed cotton, holds the studio logo cleanly through every wash, and feels right at the lower price tier. Print the studio logo on the chest at 3 inches; consider a back-yoke studio name. VIP retail at $30 to $34 yields $10 to $14 margin per tee.
The Bella+Canvas Premium Triblend Crew Tee (Free $28.95, VIP $23.88) is the premium aesthetic option. The triblend fabric has natural drape, a slightly worn-in feel, and reads as on-brand for boutique studios that compete on aesthetic. Print the studio logo at smaller size (2 to 2.5 inches) in tonal color for the premium effect.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.The Next Level Premium CVC Jersey Tee (Free $29.95, VIP $24.88) sits between cotton and triblend. Slight heather, slightly heavier weight, and prints blocky designs crisply. Right for studios that want a single tee blank that works for both everyday and event-specific designs (workshop tees, retreat tees, anniversary tees).
For studios with a primarily female student base, the Women's Favorite Tee from Bella+Canvas (Free $23.93, VIP $19.88) and the Women's Premium Cotton Tee from Next Level (Free $28.95, VIP $23.88) offer true ladies' cuts with a more tapered fit. Carry both the unisex and the ladies' cut in the shop so students pick what fits.
The base price covers up to two print locations (typically front and back). Add a small sleeve print or back-yoke print at the same base price. Most studios use:
Open a free studio shop. Stock the cotton, triblend, or CVC tee with your studio logo. Students order direct.
Start FreeCotton if the studio leans community; triblend if the studio leans premium aesthetic. Triblend feels slightly thinner and has more drape; cotton is sturdier and prints bold colors more vividly.
Yes. Most blanks accept up to 4 print locations. Front, back, sleeve, and back yoke print all together at the base price.
Yes. The studio adds both the unisex and the ladies' cut to the shop using the same design file. Students pick the cut at checkout.
If the studio sets up a customization field, the student adds their text (their name, their start year, their teacher's name) at checkout. The printed tee includes the customization with no extra fee.
