We believe that yoga is something from which everyone can benefit. Out of this strong belief was born The Power Life Foundation. The Power Life Foundation works to make yoga more accessible to communities, groups and individuals that typically face barriers in accessing the mental and physical health benefits yoga provides.
One hundred percent of donations received fund teacher training scholarships and provide opportunities to practice throughout the cities Power Life proudly serves. By training people who often face barriers in accessing yoga, The Foundation provides opportunities for scholarship recipients to share the benefits of yoga with the communities, groups and individuals they interact with beyond Power Life’s studios.
Giving back has always been an integral part of Power Life. Since our inception, we have raised or donated hundreds of thousands of dollars for local charities, organizations and non-profits to support the communities we serve. Through The Power Life Foundation, we can continue to give back by sharing the mental and physical health benefits of this practice with others who can make a difference in the world.
You can donate via The Foundation’s Venmo, using the form below, or at the studio front desk.

Kirk was working 80-hour weeks and wearing his shoulders as earrings when he found yoga in 2005. Forever the competitive athlete, he loved the physicality of yoga. When the spiritual and philosophical side of yoga were exposed to him, Kirk was hooked. Yoga provided him with what other activities couldn’t -- the ability to foster the benefits of practice both on and off of the mat. Yoga was something that Kirk could bring into all aspects of his life.
Kirk knows that yoga can be intimidating, so he crafts a class that is playful and inviting, while still being challenging and safe. His creatively planned classes build strength and flexibility in your body and mind while establishing clarity, giving you more confidence to overcome obstacles in your life, and keeping you injury-free. His classes are themed with a message that is relatable and will inspire you to take it with you off your mat. Kirk has been teaching yoga since 2008 and lead his first teacher training in 2012. Where Kirk truly shines is in coaching, developing and bringing out the best in others.
Kirk enjoys traveling (40+ countries to date!), snowboarding, and cherishes time with his wife and two daughters.
Christen Bakken’s yoga journey began in 1998 in a Bikram studio that provided a safe and secure place to practice. She saw the yoga mat as a place to remember her purpose and a place to play. As she continued her studies and began her journey to teaching in 2006, Christen infused yoga classes with devotion and the yoga mat became a place of personal transformation and healing. Her classes are filled with laughter, song, sweat, and usually heart openers. In 2013, Christen began training yoga teachers. This is the place where she finds the most joy - in community with folks looking to grow and be of greater service in their homes, on their mats, and in the world. Over the years, she has led trainings in Denver, the Midwest, Florida, and now abroad. She has trained in continuing education modules, 200-hour, 300-hour, and 500-hour programs. Beyond the mat, Christen is a passionate adventure seeker - she loves to bike, snowboard, and spend time with her husband and pups. She sees each day as a blessing and hopes to remind all who interact with her of this truth.
