The best studios to take your downward dog.

1. Humming Puppy, Prahran

Yes, it's called Humming Puppy for a reason — the yoga room literally hums. This impressive South Yarra studio has been built with some equally as impressive acoustics, creating a low humming noise during class. Think of it as a relaxing soundscape to those yoga poses you're about to get into.

2. One Hot Yoga, South Yarra

This is one for the yogis that like it hot. And a little bit sweaty. The temperature varies class-to-class, with the mercury moving between 21-37°C. Designed by Rob Mills, One is a seriously beautiful studio — it's a place you want to hang out with a cup of tea after class.

3. Hot Bikram Yoga, Ascot Vale

And this is for the yogis who like it really, really hot. Hot Bikram Yoga Ascot Vale is the best place in the west to practice Bikram — that is, if doing yoga poses in a 38.5°C room sounds like a good time to you.

4. Yoga 213, South Yarra

The smooth, quiet tones of windpipes and meditation music not enough to get you going? Yoga 213 might have what you didn't even know you were looking for: hip hop yoga. It's traditional yoga done more upbeat. And with added Snoop.

5. Move Hot Yoga, CBD

An immaculate, very well designed little sanctuary above the busy city streets for you to practice those poses in. It's hot yoga, but the studio caters for beginners as well as advanced yogis.

6. Power Living, Fitzroy & South Melbourne

Originally hailing from Sydney, Power Living has expanded down south with studios in Fitzroy and South Melbourne. But don't worry, the classes don't have too many Sydney sensibilities — they're done Melbourne-style.

8. Urban Yoga, CBD

The yoga equivalent of dinner and a show. Urban Yoga is held on Monday and Thursday nights above Hare Krishna centre Crossways, and for the price of a class, you not only get an hour of traditional yoga — you'll get dinner too. Yes, dinner. Exactly what you need after some zen time.
