Why Yin Yoga?
Yin yoga has been steadily growing in stature and popularity in recent times. It is a complementary practice that helps us to decompress from our busy lives. It’s valued for the slow pace of movement, the necessary self-inquiry, and meditative nature. All this lends itself to the change of pace most people need in the busyness of modern life.
Your education will be guided by our founder Duncan Peak (Pioneer of Modern Yoga in Australia) and supported by our senior teachers Troy Abraham, Gina Brescianini & Emma Burridge.
This course is perfect for anyone interested in deepening their knowledge around yin yoga & meditation, or any current yoga teacher looking to up-skill in the modalities of yin & meditation.

Frequently Asked Questions
DO I NEED TO REGISTER FOR THE WHOLE 500HR PATHWAY AT ONCE?
No, you can choose the courses that fit your life schedule, budget and specific interest. We present all of our advanced teacher training material in a modular format to make it easier for you to pick the best course and pathway for you!
DO I HAVE TO COMPLETE ALL THREE MODULES TO GAIN CERTIFICATION?
All teacher trainees must complete all three courses modules outlined above. The program has been designed specifically to meet the Yoga Alliance and Yoga Australia 200-hour teacher training requirements. Missing out on a course component or not completing it in time would mean you have not completed the required number of contact hours and areas of study and will not gain full 200-hour certification.
WHY IS HAVING 500-HOUR CERTIFICATION VALUABLE?
Having 500-hour certification shows potential employers that you take your education seriously! Studying on our 500-hour pathway will provide you with opportunities to deepen your study of yoga that a well-rounded teacher needs on their CV.
CAN I PARTICIPATE IN THE ADVANCED TEACHER TRAINING MODULES IF I DIDN’T COMPLETE MY 200-HOUR TRAINING WITH POWER LIVING?
Yes! Many of our 500-hour level courses require 200-hour certification as a pre-requisite but we welcome students from any yoga education training program.
CAN I PARTICIPATE IN A 500-HOUR PATHWAY PROGRAM IF I’M NOT 200-HOUR CERTIFIED?
Occasionally we open some of these programs up to all students, depending on the content of the course. If the course has a 200-hour prerequisite, it will be clearly noted on the website and all marketing material. And only 200-hour qualified teachers are able to gain hours of accreditation for completing the course.
WHAT ARE THE PAYMENT OPTIONS?
Our 500-hour pathway programs require a $1,000 deposit for any programs over $1,000. All remaining course fees must be paid six weeks before the start date of the program. We don’t offer payment plans for our 500-hour programs. All programs under $1,000 require payment in full at the time of registration.
