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.

Over the past two decades, Power Living has worked to break down outdated stereotypes and make yoga more accessible, practical and life-changing.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.

Our mission is to empower people to live and lead with greater presence, purpose and power.

We do this by integrating yoga, personal development, spiritual inquiry and practical life skills that support a more fulfilling, balanced, confident, healthy and happy life.

Whether someone comes to us for a single class, a teacher training, a retreat or a deeper path of personal growth, our intention is the same: to help them reconnect with themselves, build inner strength, and live with more clarity, courage and connection.

We welcome you to practise with us at our New South Wales studios or through our Livestream classes online.

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

Vinyasa Yoga
Our signature style is dynamic, intelligent and flowing. Offered in heated and non-heated rooms, these classes build physical strength, mental focus and energetic vitality.

Yin Yoga
A slower, meditative practice that works with the deeper connective tissues of the body. Yin supports nervous system regulation, flexibility, stillness and inner calm.

At Power Living, we believe yoga should be powerful, practical and accessible. You do not need to be flexible, spiritual or experienced to begin. You just need to start.

Power Living has graduated thousands of teachers through our 200-hour and 500-hour yoga teacher training courses. Our trainings are known for their depth, practical teaching methodology, strong facilitation and commitment to personal transformation.

Over the years, Duncan Peak, Keenan Crisp and the Power Living teaching team have led teacher trainings, retreats and workshops throughout Australia and internationally. These programs combine asana, anatomy, philosophy, meditation, self-inquiry, leadership and real-world teaching skills.

Our graduates are among some of the most respected and well-trained yoga teachers in the country, and we continue to support studios, gyms and organisations across Australia in raising the standard of yoga education.

Our retreats offer a deeper experience away from the pace of everyday life. From weekend immersions near Sydney to week-long retreats in places like Bali, they are designed to help students reconnect with themselves, deepen their practice and share meaningful time with like-minded people.

At Power Living, our attitude is simple: all yoga, all good.

Every person’s path is different. Whether you are here to move, heal, learn, teach, grow or reconnect, you are welcome.
