True Light Yoga Studio Shines on Asbury Avenue: A New Sanctuary for Wellness in Ocean City

There’s a new glow on Asbury Avenue, and it’s radiating from the grand opening of True Light Yoga Studio, a vibrant, soul-warming sanctuary nestled just above the bustling stretch of shops between 8th and 9th Streets. Tucked above the Staintons Gallery of Shops, this fresh addition to Ocean City’s wellness scene is already capturing hearts and transforming routines.

You’ll find the entrance discreetly on the 9th Street side of the Staintons. Walk through the doors, and you’re greeted by a grand lobby that feels more Manhattan chic than a shore town storefront. High ceilings, modern design, and an aura of calm set the stage before you’ve even rolled out a mat.

Once inside the studio, natural light floods the space through large windows that hover just above the rhythm of street life, creating a bright, serene setting that somehow feels both grounded and elevated. The warm wood floors, soft tones, and thoughtful design create a welcoming atmosphere. Adding to the energy is a stunning mural by local artist Olivia Margulis, who brought the studio’s vibrant logo to life. For those on the go, convenient showers allow you to freshen up and head straight into the day with a refreshed body and a blissful energy.

What truly makes True Light special, though, is its community. The studio has quickly become a gathering place for those seeking movement, connection, and joy. The space feels intimate yet expansive, held together by the kind, friendly energy of both instructors and fellow practitioners. It’s yoga, yes—but with a twist.

Founder Rachael O’Brien has created something much more than a traditional studio. With a deep belief that “yoga is a lot more than the poses—it’s about following the path of bliss,” she’s cultivated an experience that celebrates creativity and joy. Expect the unexpected at True Light: one day it’s a flow class with dance, another day it’s bootcamp-infused yoga with a thumping playlist. “We change up the poses, the music, the vibe. We like to keep you on your toes,” Rachael explains. The result? Every class feels like a fresh adventure on the mat.

More than anything, True Light Yoga is about making yoga feel good. Really good. “Yoga should be fun and welcoming,” says Rachael. “By tapping into joy and doing things that are fun, you’re walking the path of yoga.”

True Light’s mantra says it all: Follow your bliss. Find your true light. And if you’re lucky enough to climb the stairs above Asbury Avenue and step into this radiant new space, you just might find both.
