Sydney’s yoga scene is thriving. We can’t confirm it with a statistic, but we certainly hear the word “namaste” muttered more and more these days.
Sydney’s yoga scene is as diverse as the city itself. From dynamic, heated sessions that invigorate the senses to serene, mindful practices that soothe the soul, there’s a studio catering to every yogi’s journey, and we’ve whittled down the list to the best options available to help you find your happy place.
Humming Puppy in Redfern uses digital and organic soundscapes known as ‘the Hum’ to create vibrations that help ground your body and mind during your session for a truly unique experience. Their immersive Yoga classes include traditional movement, breathwork and meditation at frequencies of 7.83hz and 40hz. 7.83hz to mimic the grounding vibrations of the earth.
You can visit the puppy as much as you like for just $50 a week or pay $32 for a one-off. If you like the sound of this, though (pun intended), the regular membership is the clear bargain.
