Our Story

Power Living began in 2004 when founder Duncan Peak opened one of Australia’s first dedicated Vinyasa yoga studios in Neutral Bay, Sydney. Rooted in Hatha Vinyasa, the practice was strong, intelligent, dynamic and deeply transformational. It quickly attracted a loyal community, and the Neutral Bay studio became one of the busiest yoga studios in the country.

In 2006, Duncan invited his old Army friend Keenan Crisp to join him. Keenan had already spent several years living in India, studying yoga, Vedanta, Ayurveda, world religions and spiritual practice before completing further training in Vinyasa and Yin Yoga. Together, Duncan and Keenan helped shape the teaching culture, retreats and teacher training pathways that became central to Power Living’s growth.

From those Sydney roots, Power Living expanded to 14 studios across Australia and New Zealand, helping shape the modern yoga landscape. In 2009, we helped pioneer the introduction of Yin Yoga to Australia, a practice that has since become a much-loved part of studios nationwide. Currently, we operate over 110 classes per week at our two flagship locations in Neutral Bay and Manly and through our virtual Livestream studio.

Over the past two decades, Power Living has worked to break down outdated stereotypes and make yoga more accessible, practical and life-changing. We have trained more than 5,000 yoga teachers and guided hundreds of thousands of students through classes, workshops, retreats and teacher trainings. Many of Australia’s most respected yoga teachers began their journey through Power Living.

Our story has always been bigger than postures. It is about helping people wake up to their potential — physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually — and supporting them to live with greater presence, purpose and power.

Studio Classes – Our classes are designed to challenge, support and meet students where they are. Whether you are new to yoga or Pilates or an experienced practitioner, you will find a practice that helps you build strength, flexibility, focus and self-awareness.
