Expecting a little one? Embrace the magic of prenatal yoga as you prepare for motherhood—right here in Rumson and nearby Monmouth County. As a maternity and newborn photographer serving this area, I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with many local moms who’ve found strength, peace, and community through these classes. If you’re looking for gentle movement, a sense of calm, and a way to connect with your growing baby, these local prenatal yoga studios are worth checking out.

1. Blue Moon Yoga – Red Bank/Shrewsbury

A community favorite, Blue Moon Yoga offers prenatal classes in a serene, welcoming studio. Local moms rave about their Sunday sessions, which offer modifications for every trimester and focus on strength, flexibility, and relaxation.

2. Ohana Yoga & Barre – Point Pleasant

Just a short drive from Rumson, Ohana is known for its supportive instructors and peaceful atmosphere. Their prenatal yoga classes are thoughtfully designed to ease tension, improve posture, and help expectant mothers feel more grounded and confident.

3. The Well Belmar – Prenatal Yoga with Jess

The Well offers “Prenatal Yoga with Jess,” a nurturing class that emphasizes breathwork, mindful movement, and emotional connection during pregnancy. The space itself feels like a mini retreat, making it ideal for busy moms-to-be who need a break from the hustle.

4. Open Heart Yoga – Red Bank

This nonprofit studio offers inclusive yoga options, including gentle classes well-suited for pregnancy. Open Heart is perfect if you’re looking for a warm, values-driven space where you can feel supported and seen.

5. Metta Yoga – Belmar & Neptune

Metta Yoga lives up to its name—"Metta" meaning loving-kindness—with classes that encourage you to slow down, breathe deeply, and tune into your body. While not always labeled as "prenatal," many of their gentle classes are beginner- and pregnancy-friendly.

Why Prenatal Yoga Matters

Prenatal yoga is more than just stretching—it’s a meaningful way to care for your body and mind during one of life’s biggest transitions. Whether you're focusing on building strength for labor, easing back pain, or simply taking time to relax, these classes provide real benefits. They also give you a chance to connect with other local moms on a similar journey—which can be so grounding in those uncertain early weeks of motherhood.

And when you're feeling that deeper connection with your changing body and your baby? That’s the perfect time to preserve the moment.

As someone who works closely with expectant mothers, I’ve seen how transformational pregnancy can be. It’s why I offer timeless, emotion-filled maternity and newborn photography sessions—to celebrate this fleeting, sacred chapter of your life. My sessions are designed to feel effortless, relaxed, and deeply meaningful—whether in the comfort of my light-filled studio or a peaceful outdoor setting.
