With studios in New York, Melbourne & Sydney, Humming Puppy is a yoga experience evolved from traditional practices in a stunning space that resonates with a perfect hum. More than just the physical practice of yoga, your experience begins the moment you sign up and book your mat online. Enter the studio, leave the outside world behind and immerse yourself in good vibes.
We don't prescribe to any specific style of yoga but rather draw our inspiration from all of the lineages from which our teachers have practiced and learnt. We believe this gives our students a unified and holistic practice. We base our teachings on the principles of breath-pranayama, movement-asana and awareness-meditation.
When taking a class at Humming Puppy, one of the first things you will notice is that the room quite literally 'hums'... and this is by no means an accident! Our yoga space or ‘shala’, is injected with a combination of frequencies to enhance and deepen your experience. More specifically we use a combination of 7.83hz and 40hz. Being submersed in these frequencies helps you to naturally produce matching frequencies through a process of entrainment. 7.83hz otherwise known as the Schumann Resonance is actually the frequency of the earth itself and helps to 'ground' you through your practice. 40hz is specifically associated with ‘Gamma’ brainwave activity, integral for achieving states of peak performance. Elite athletes, top-notch musicians and high achievers in all fields, typically produce far more gamma waves than average.
And whilst all of that sounds quite serious and complicated, on a much simpler level the hum just feels good!
Kula Yoga provides modifications and variations in all classes to ensure all levels are catered for. Our goal is to ensure all participants enjoy the amazing benefits of yoga, even if they are a beginner, or an advanced student. What type of yoga does Kula Yoga teach? The highly qualified Kula Yoga teachers lead our students through 3 types of classes:Hot - Our Hot Yoga class is a detoxifying, revitalising sequence of postures with specific timing and alignments. We turn the heat up to 35 degrees to allow the body to open up and find depth while promoting the elimination of toxins. Rather than a static sequence like Bikram Yoga we offer a slow flow with vinyasa movements. Power - A dynamic, flowing class in a balmy 28 degree room. A faster paced class to tone and sculpt your body while synchronising breath with movement to leave you energised and rejuvenated. Basics - A class to strengthen and stretch in a regular temperature room. Basics focuses on correct alignment to build a strong foundation. Perfect for those new to yoga or wanting a slower paced class without the heat. Yin - Yin Yoga is a meditative, slower paced practice, with long, deep stretching and holds to work into joint mobility. Perfect for those wanting a class to unwind - enjoyed in a welcoming, regular temperature room. Prenatal/Postnatal - A class specially catered to new mothers and mothers-to-be. Prenatal or pregnancy yoga helps to alleviate back and body pains associated with a growing belly. Postnatal yoga helps to rebuild, restabilise and reconnect with the body.
