About Keenan
A Graduate of the Royal Military College Duntroon, Keenan served for seven years within the Australian Defence Force doing several overseas deployments including active service in East Timor.
After completing his service, Keenan traveled the world extensively spending five consecutive years visiting over 40 countries, studying Yoga, Vedanta, Ayurveda, World Religion, Human Nature and Spirituality.
It was in Congo, where he worked for Doctors Without Borders (Medicine Sans Frontier – MSF) that he witnessed first-hand crimes against humanity and decided that the best way he could help others was to help change the way they think. So he returned to India for near on three years to study at various Schools, Universities and Ashrams.
Since then, Keenan has worked tirelessly to expound the teachings of yoga in a modern and accessible way, running countless workshops teaching philosophy, physiology and yoga psychology. He has facilitated world class yoga retreats and teacher trainings and has instructed thousands of yoga asana classes as a master facilitator within Power Living Australia.
Informed by both his yoga and high performance mindset work, Keenan’s “Seven Steps to Lasting Freedom” process has helped thousands of people to transform their limiting beliefs and step into a more powerful and authentic version of themselves.
His mission is to guide his students to live consciously, love intentionally, serve selflessly and - from this place of authenticity - experience a better life connection.
