THE INDIVIDUAL JOURNEY We aim to give you space to explore through the various aspects of yoga & then journey back with a newfound sense of self-connection & appreciation for yourself & others.
OUR EXPERIENCE
WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
As a space for pause and sanctuary, we provide a yoga experience that honours traditional yogic practices. Central to our philosophy we guide movement alongside a curated and resonant ‘Hum’. A frequency of our own design to deeply soothe, or to simply generate good vibes.
More than just the physical practice, our spaces offer a journey of sensations that contrast a fast- paced outside world. Be warmly received into our lounge area, sanctorius bathrooms and sacred shala; all an expressive nod to thoughtful and practical design. To receive our hospitality in person, our studio spaces reside in Melbourne, Sydney and New York.
The variety of classes on HP Online, classes On Demand, cover everyone from the beginner to the well- versed yogi. We offer specialised practices that differ from our classic in-studio class styles and cater for both the traditional and the experimental. Humming Puppy Online allows for global participation; yoga and guidance can now be accessed amongst home’s luxuries.
Our style of yoga
Our classes are not based on any one yoga style but reflect authentically the inspirations and backgrounds of our teachers. All offerings will include the fundamental principles of breath- pranayama, movement-asana and awareness- meditation.
Humming Puppy teachers are a warm and welcoming collective passionate about sparking curiosity, conversation and connection through the practices of yoga. We are mindful of both embracing and being respectful of a diverse community in all of our offerings. We encourage an unhurried experience and the opportunity for meaningful connections.
THE HUM IN HUMMING PUPPY
Humming Puppy offers a revered space to practice and one that reverberates with a ‘Hum’ in place of music. A soundscape that combines both digital and organic sound frequencies; specifically 7.83hz and 40hz. By immersing yourself in these soundwaves during practice the brain naturally produces the same frequencies through the process of entrainment.
7.83hz is known as the Schumann Resonance and mimics the frequency of the earth itself, assisting in restoring the mind to a state of equilibrium. 40hz is specifically associated with ‘Gamma’ brainwave activity and integral for achieving states of peak performance.
Our Hum was designed in collaboration with our Co-Founders and composer Mitch Allen from One Two Studios. To produce a sound that acquainted itself comfortably in our Shala’s, a recording was made from playing our own singing bowls.
Whilst this has an ornate complexity to it; we believe the Hum provides a singular and joyful experience alongside all of our offerings.
YOGA WITH PERSONAL SPACE
At Humming Puppy all our classes are limited to only 40 places with an even and luxurious amount of room between each mat, so you can focus on your practice and not on another student’s behind!
THE AMENITIES
We want you to travel light - emotionally and physically - so we provide all students with mats by Manduka - considered the best in the business! They are closed-cell, contain no latex and we meticulously clean and sanitise them for you before each and every class. We also set up your reserved mat with blocks and straps, so when we say travel light, we mean it.
We have full bathroom and shower facilities and provide towels, hairdryers and hair straighteners for your convenience.
We pride ourselves on attention to detail and we aim to provide everything needed to make Humming Puppy the perfect yoga experience each and every time you join us. We hope to see you here soon!
