Meet Keenan Crisp: The Man Behind the Method
What does it mean to be powerful? Is it physical strength? Is it the ability to lead? Or is it the quiet confidence that comes from deep self-awareness? At Power Living, we believe true power is a blend of all these things—a balance of grit and grace. There is no one who embodies this philosophy more than Keenan Crisp, the leader of our transformative 40 Days to Power Living program.
Keenan’s journey is not a straight line. It’s a winding path that has taken him from the discipline of military life to the stillness of Indian ashrams, and from the front lines of humanitarian aid to the boardrooms of high-powered businesses. His story is one of radical transformation, and it is this rich, diverse experience that makes him the ideal guide to help you find your own inner strength.
We’d like to introduce you to the man behind the method. Discover how a former paratrooper became a respected yoga teacher and why his unique background is the key to unlocking your own potential for a more purposeful life.
From Paratrooper to Service
Keenan’s story begins in a place of immense discipline and structure. As a Paratrooper, he led troops in Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and East Timor. This chapter of his life was defined by rigour, leadership, and the ability to perform under extreme pressure. He developed an unshakeable foundation of resilience and an intimate understanding of what it takes to command respect and inspire action.
But after years in such a demanding environment, a different calling emerged. Keenan embarked on a five-year sabbatical, a period of profound searching and self-discovery. He traded his military gear for a motorcycle and toured Europe, embracing the freedom of the open road. His journey eventually led him to the spiritual heart of India, where he lived in ashrams, immersing himself in ancient practices of yoga and meditation.
This was not a vacation; it was a deep dive into the self. He began to peel back the layers of his identity, exploring the balance between external strength and internal peace. His quest for purpose didn’t stop there. Driven by a desire to serve, Keenan volunteered with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. There, on the front lines of a humanitarian crisis, he witnessed both immense suffering and incredible human resilience. This experience solidified his commitment to helping others, not just by leading them, but by healing and empowering them.
The Birth of a Power Yogi

Upon returning to Australia, Keenan brought these worlds together. He channelled his discipline, his spiritual insights, and his deep-seated compassion into the world of yoga. He became a master facilitator, leading national and international yoga retreats and teacher trainings. For over a decade, he has facilitated more than 10,000 hours of philosophy, meditation, breathwork, and yoga classes, guiding approximately 400-500 students each week.
Now, as CEO and co-owner of Power Living Australia, Keenan leads a community that values authenticity over aesthetics. His teaching style is a direct reflection of his journey. It’s grounded and practical, yet deeply spiritual. He teaches “yoga for humans,” creating a space where people can drop the mask and do the real work of transformation without pressure or pretence. He understands that strength isn’t just about holding a difficult pose; it’s about holding yourself with compassion through life’s challenges.
Coaching Leaders to Be Happy Achievers
Keenan’s expertise extends beyond the yoga mat. He saw that many of the leaders and professionals in his classes were struggling with the same thing: the burnout that comes from relentless striving. They were successful, but they weren’t satisfied. To address this, he became a Certified High-Performance Coach
, a qualification he has rigorously maintained for seven consecutive years.
In this role, Keenan has helped hundreds of business leaders and professionals find a new way to succeed. He guides them to gain clarity on their goals, generate sustainable energy, and increase their productivity. More importantly, he teaches them how to develop influence, demonstrate courage, and live with purpose. He calls his clients “Happy Achievers,” a testament to his belief that you can have both ambition and inner peace. His coaching isn’t about pushing harder; it’s about aligning your actions with your deepest values.
