The Powerful Vision

The Goal of Power Living is to become and remain HAPPY!

Our vision is to create a practice that is relevant to today’s busy lifestyles and that will allow for total physical, mental and spiritual transformation to unfold. We hope to see the true inner light of every person shine brightly.

Our practice has been inspired by many different traditions of Yoga but it is not contained by any. We don’t encourage mystic teachings or unachievable goals but rather aim to bring the ancient teachings down from the mountaintops and deliver them in a way that is accessible to everyday people.

Power Living DuncanThe type of strength and flexibility developed by this system of functional training is similar to that of gymnastics and is one of the most sensible and effective ways to exercise. The Power Living practice is truly a lifesaver for many people and it will restore the youthful agility we all once had.

The physical training is a vehicle to a greater level of self-discovery that comes from observing your reactions, mental chatter and how you react under stress during the challenging physical practice.

Developing this level of self -awareness then allows one to move beyond body and mind identification to develop and maintain a high level of self esteem, self confidence and self love with a universal spiritual appreciation of life.

Our community encourages healthy nutritional and lifestyle habits but are not fanatical or dogmatic about how you need to be. We accept all people and their philosophies and encourage them to understand our Power Living way of life and create something as deep for themselves.

All this training shows us how to BE and remain HAPPY!

Qualities developed under the Power Living philosophy: (click to see more info)

Humility
The ability to see unity amidst diversity. Humility is not about stuffing down our brightness, holding back or feeling unworthy. It is about embracing our personal power but with a mind free from egoism and attachment and then encouraging others to do the same. We see ourselves as neither above or below others but rather as equals and we aim to guide others into this awareness.
Self-Awareness
Awareness is our true nature and through our practice we become aware of what we are not and thus able to stand in our own true light. We use the postures as a vehicle to discover how we react under stress and in times of intensity. We use the physical practice as an opportunity to become really present so we may begin to understand how our minds work and transform the stubborn mental patterns that hold us back, into pure and sacred thoughts that guide us though life with peace and love.
Courage
The process of self-inquiry that leads us to our true essence, beyond our identity with name and form, can be challenging and often brings us to our knees. The ability to stand in Shiva’s fire, to stay when we want to run, is vastly developed through this process.
Cheerfulness
If we let go of all our attachments to the physical world then all that is left is for us to be happy. As we grow through the Power Living process we begin to allow ourselves to feel more joy and ease with life. We begin to accept things as they are and keep an untroubled spirit. By doing this we organically become more cheerful as we discover the joy that is inherent within us all.
Generosity
This means both ways, not just giving, but also graciously receiving so we allow others also the pleasure of giving. Generosity whilst serving others is an ancient principle that is proven to bring much joy and happiness into one’s life as a result Not only generous with money, but with your time, attention and love. That is something we can all afford.
Defenceless
We don’t mean helplessness we mean full POWER, without the need to defend yourself against others’ thoughts, words or opinions of you. For as a Power Living Yogi you will be so comfortable in your own shoes, standing confidently in your own true light that there simply isn’t anything to defend. We learn the art of living in the moment, not creating drama in our lives, but by dealing with the here and now. Taking what works today for today, without past, without memory or conclusions which only press upon the mind. We’ll help you to be grounded and centered, true and authentic.
Present
We learn the art of living in the moment, not creating drama in our lives, by dealing with the here and now. You can stop the chattering mind, who are you talking to anyway? There is no one there but you… We’ll show you how!
