Humming Puppy Yoga Melbourne is a unique and immersive Yoga studio located in Prahran, Melbourne. With its specially designed spaces, the studio aims to create a soothing and focused environment that elevates the Yoga practise of its members. The studio incorporates a bespoke soundscape called 'the Hum,' which is a combination of digital and organic sound frequencies, including the grounding vibrations of the earth and brainwave activities that encourage peak performance and concentration.
The signature soundscape, the Hum, is accompanied by the sounds of singing bowls in every class. By immersing oneself in these sound waves, practitioners can experience increased focus and a sense of calm. The studio even offers the option for students to bring the Hum home, allowing them to continue their practise and enjoy the benefits of the sound frequencies outside the studio.
Humming Puppy Yoga Melbourne prides itself on offering classes that reflect the authentic experiences of its teachers. The classes are not limited to a single style of Yoga but encompass a variety of practises including traditional movement, breathwork, and meditation. Each class begins with an intention, allowing students to set their focus for the practise, followed by pranayama (breathing practises), asana (physical postures), meditation, and the use of sound such as crystal sound bowls and chanting. Chanting is optional, and students can choose to simply listen and absorb the vibrations.
The studio is equipped with all the amenities necessary for an immersive experience. Students can leave their belongings at home as the studio provides everything they need. The shala (practise space) is set up with 39 well-spaced mats, each equipped with blocks and straps for convenience. Blankets, bolsters, and hand towels are also offered for comfort, and the bathrooms are stocked with premium body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.
Other amenities include hairdryers, hair straighteners, and shower caps, with a complimentary towel service available.

The studio pays respect to their elders, past, present, and emerging, and recognises the ongoing connexion of all First Nations people to ancient traditions.
