‘If these walls could talk’ is a phrase taken quite literally at Humming Puppy in Prahran. The yoga studio emits a humming noise engineered by acoustic specialists ARUP to take yogis on a deeply immersive and sensory journey. The climate-controlled spaces incorporate dark tones and brass details, adding to the atmospheric experience. You can choose from one of four classes – Mellow Hum, Unified Hum, Dynamic Hum or Deepen Your Hum – depending on your yoga level, and you don’t even need your own mat as the studio provides equipment by Manduka.

Yoga 213

Salute the Californian sun at Melbourne’s first hip hop yoga studio, Yoga 213. Styled after a Venice Beach surf shack, the studio is complete with recycled timber, surfboards, pineapples, a vibrant oil painting of Biggie and a neon sign that says ‘to be happy,’ which sums up owner and founder Sammy Vealls attitude to life. Yoga 213 offers five West Coast-inspired classes: Hip Hop 1 for a morning dose of vinyasa; Hip Hop 2 where you can groove along with Snoop Dogg; Yin Yoga for deep poses in a darkened room; Chill Yoga to practice basic vinyasa to the sound of smooth reggae; and Home Base where the focus is on breath. At the end of each class, you can relax with a short savasana.
