Our Teachers
Power Living prides itself on having experienced, quality teachers. Duncan has personally trained and mentored every one of them and continues to have an ongoing feedback and development program for all of his teachers that ensure they grow as our students do. 
Our philosophy is ‘teacher & student – no difference’. Each class is a uniquely blended practice of sweat and serenity and will provide satisfaction for beginners to advanced students alike.
All of our senior teachers have been influenced by the teaching and mentorship of Baron Baptise. Duncan often works for Baron and co facilitates at his world class teacher training retreats all over the world and directly applies these skills to his own retreats and workshops in Australia.
Other major influences of our teaching team that form Power Living Yoga are BKS Iyengar, Pattabii Jois, BNS Iyengar, Shjeshadri of Mysore, Paul Fielden, Paramahansa Satyananda, Sri Sathya Sai Baba and recently John Friend of Anusara Yoga.
At Power Living all these influences and many more fuse together to bring you the most powerful classes you will ever do.
Duncan Peak - Founder (aka Dunx)
Every time you walk into Duncan’s class you know straight away you are at the hands of a modern day master. Dunx’s passion to help, heal and create an amazing experience for each student is felt by all. He has trained in many major yogic traditions and focuses on a strong flowing class as a vehicle to understand the mind and ultimately transcend the attachment to ego identity. Duncan’s sense of humour, his obvious passion for his own personal practice and the experience he has in training thousands of people from around the world and being mentored by several great masters creates an experience in the room that develops students on many levels of life. Get in early for his classes, they are packed, and you will always leave feeling amazing and full of love, rock on.

Fi is one of our most gifted teachers in the area of anatomy and physiology, she explains the body better than all of us and allows students to access a deep understanding of the vehicle they are in. She’s fun, she’s funky and she trains some of the country’s best athletes and humbles them all. If you want to heal you must first learn to feel and Fi will show you how.
If you want to work on your edge, be held accountable for your experience in the practice and learn from someone who has spent many hours on her mat, then Alex is your teacher. She has used the Power Yoga practice to completely evolve her way of being and speaks from a depth of understanding of this transformational process that can only be attained by going through it. This girl can stand in Shiva’s fire and she’ll show you how to also. And all with a sweet little smile on her face as she does – bring it Alex!
Molly Krasnova (The Marvellous – or Mollinator as she is often called)
Five years ago Molly was so shy she wouldn’t even say boo to Duncan as a student in his classes. Now she runs a first class business and teaches to hundreds of people each week. She is a pure example of what it takes to face your fears and transform your life! Every class you do with Molly will be a strong flow and you will feel her passion to help and heal those in the room by being an example of what it takes to step up and be bigger than life. We love you Molly!
Mandy Kopcho (The Magnificent or Super Mum)
A mother of three, a heart of gold and a depth of personal practice ranging over 20 years, Mandy brings an original element to her teaching creating a flow that takes you to your edge every time you practice with her. Mandy brings so much life experience to her classes and opens the doors of transformation to anyone brave enough to walk through them. A teacher’s teacher, Mandy’s got it all.
With a background in psychology, foundations in movement, sport and dance, and a passion for teaching, Kat creates an enthusiastic, dynamic and creative approach to teaching yoga which is evident the moment you step into her class. In her classes, Kat takes you on a fun and challenging journey to experience how our yoga practice can be a unique and a powerful tool to help us connect with ourselves on a deeper level.

One of the first students at Power Living and a very successful dancer, Elisha oozes body awareness and flow in class. She speaks from a lifetime of training her body and especially relates to all the super flexy people who come to our studio. She has worked hard to balance strength and flexibility and will very powerfully show you how to do the same. She is one of the up and coming stars amongst us and you’ll feel her talent every class you do with her. She sometimes might drop a little dance move into the sequence also, so get ready to boogie with this one, a whole lot of FUN!
Sol has a way of describing postures that is very unique often referring to body parts as the juicy nectar dripping down the side or a yummy mango. Whilst unique and sometimes unusual it is fresh, effective and lots of fun, you are guaranteed to laugh and cry in this class. Sol is also a very successful dancer and chorographer and brings 25years of training into the room when he teaches. He challenges you in a way that gracefully encourages you to work hard without the seriousness we feel sometimes in life. He keeps the practice in perspective overcoming many obstacles to be where he is, Sol inspires you to get over your own obstacles and transform your life!

Don’t be fooled, this tiny fairy packs some punch! Alison is a single mother of two and brings vibrant, caring energy to all her classes.
