The Humming Puppy Story

Humming Puppy is an Australian-born yoga brand founded in 2014 by ​​Jackie Alexander and Chris Koch. A year after their first Melbourne location, Humming Puppy opened a studio in Sydney followed by a New York opening in 2018.

The name is a reference to the ‘hum’ sound that is omitted during their classes, set at a particular frequency that enhances and deepens the experience. The ‘Puppy’ element is a nod to their playful and loving nature.

What To Expect From A Humming Puppy Session

A Humming Puppy studio has a distinctive look and feel, offering a minimalist and classy space that is light on logos and heavy on ambiance. Their classes are not one style of Yoga but rather reflect different practices and the authentic experiences of all their instructors.

Their class types include Mellow Hum for recovery and deep restoration, Unified Hum for exploring uplifting movement, Dynamic Hum for challenging strength, and Foundation Hum for discovering the fundamentals in a supportive environment.

The Reception Service

Our calls to the branch before our visit went unanswered. However, on arrival the team at the studio did a good job and had a friendly nature. When we enquired about continued training, more questions to find out our needs would have helped them recommend the right package for us.

Overall, the class experience was strong - it flowed well, the instructor was confident and we were urged to listen to our bodies with our choice of poses. As first timers to the studio, more guidance and effort to connect with us would have enhanced our experience.

We found that the club’s social media and website provided a strong sense of brand and concept.
