Monmouth Beach Yoga & Wellness

So much to love about Monmouth Beach Yoga & Wellness! The summer beach yoga classes bring me so much joy. Year round, the classes are offered indoors or online - even in a video library I can access when I'm out of town. The teachers accommodate all skill levels - enjoyable for my flexible daughter or my aging self. The workshops are favorites too - from Sound Healing to Meditation. Lisa, the MBYW owner, has been particularly kind to me during some challenging times in my life. Plus she sells fabulous items like soft yoga attire and cool jewelry! I'm so glad I joined this studio!

I've been practicing at Monmouth Beach Yoga & Wellness for 6 years and I am very happy with every aspect of this studio. The studio itself is very clean and conducive to a tranquil experience. The owner and instructors clearly know what they are doing and seem to have a true understanding of what each student needs in their own practice. I have always felt confident that I will be challenged but in a safe and effective way. Each student is encouraged to focus on their own body so it doesn't feel competitive or ego-driven at all. I started with a series of beginner classes with other absolute beginner students where we could ask a lot of questions and never felt foolish. To that end, two of my family members joined other beginner series and we've all been practicing every since. Pivoting to live Zoom classes during the pandemic was easy and seamless. These Zoom classes are still offered along with in-person studio and beach classes to suit any student. The schedule is packed with a variety of different yoga classes offering many styles and intensities. Monmouth Beach Yoga & Wellness is how yoga is supposed to be experienced.

So, this was my very first yoga class and it will not be my last, I assure you!! I went in with an open mind, though a little nervous because I was/am totally clueless. I took the 8:30am stretch & strengthen class with Veronica and it was such a relaxing but efficient workout….how is that possible?? I left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and wanting to add more positive things into my day. This is not an experience that I would normally feel after a “workout”!! I’m so happy I did this for myself and I can’t wait to go back this week. Hint: purchase the unlimited monthly package….it’s a great deal in my opinion.

Monmouth Beach Yoga and Wellness is one of my Favorite places! This studio is so warm and welcoming to everyone. The classes and instructors are amazing. So many classes to choose . The owner Lisa Matthews is always on site and greets each student with a smile. Lisa does a wonderful job always adding new workshops and classes. Lisa also has a great boutique for new and chic items to purchase. I highly recommend MB Yoga to everyone! Namaste

If you are looking to start a life-changing yoga practice, this is the studio you want. The whole vibe is welcoming, body-positive, accessible, and genuinely centered in compassion and being present. The instructors and owner are friendly, kind, with great depths of knowledge so that following their guidance feels intuitive and fun. The introduction series for beginners is suitable for any fitness and ability level, and they take great care to teach you a healthy foundation for your practice. The instructors make great use of props, which are provided by the studio, and they are always ready with any accommodation or adjustments you may need. The studio is beautiful – always immaculately clean and well cared-for. The lighting is sufficient for seeing yourself in the full-wall mirrors, but typically kept dim enough that you don’t feel like you’re on display. Combined with the airy, high ceilings and privacy curtain that separates the studio from the reception area / shop, the studio space transports you to a serene, calm stillness where you can really focus on your practice and what you may need that day. There are classes from day-one beginners through advanced yin and vinyasa, and they often offer great workshops with guest instructors, such as tai chi, foundation training, or sound healing. Many classmates have said how much they love the beach yoga classes taught down the street. Classes are well-attended but never too crowded, and many favorites offer online options to attend from home. Monmouth Beach Yoga and Wellness is by far the most positive, warm, and soul-level nurturing experience I’ve ever had with yoga, and it has changed me from a person who’d like to try yoga someday to a lifetime practitioner.
