The Power of Yoga is all-inclusive immersive yoga retreat & teacher training. It provides the foundation for learning the depths of yoga, Ayurveda, breathwork, meditation and mindfulness; it is for earnest seekers who are ready to absorb the deeper meanings of yoga, the “real” power behind the practice. It is an essential part of One Yoga’s Teacher Training. This retreat can be taken as a stand-alone immersive experience or as the first step in becoming a certified yoga teacher (200-RYT).
Learn what it means to live and practice yoga every day; deepen your understanding of the history, philosophy, lifestyle and holistic healing practices that restore joy, peace, purpose and direction; and reclaim your strength and voice gaining the skills and confidence to teach safe, intuitive, meaningful yoga classes.
Physical and subtle body anatomy is explored within “The Practice Container” providing the structure to read, assist and guide students through transformative practices. Each day begins in silence with self-reflective journaling questions followed by breathwork, meditation, and asana designed to discharge and revitalize the essence of Self.
Workshop sessions are progressive and practical. The physical practice includes teaching techniques and methodology, anatomy, physiology and principles of movement, metaphysics, chakras, ethics and practicum. Each day we build upon what was learned and move through the (1) Assessment, (2) Warm-Up, (3) Primary [sun] poses, (4) Secondary [moon] poses, (5) Balancing asanas, (6) Back-Bending and Strengthening, (7) Core-Work, (8) Hip-Opening and (9) Closing postures.
Walks and time in nature are provided for digestion and assimilation. Delicious nourishing cuisine feeds your soul. And each evening concludes with group discussion, sharing and guided meditation.
This yoga retreat training is open to all individuals. If you are ready to grow your physical and spiritual practice, or are just beginning, then come! There are no prerequisites except an open mind and willing body.
Every day is full of the delightful healing practices in the vast beauty of Montana. Find the power that lies deep within your soul – the one that’s always been there waiting for you to come home again.

WHAT SUSAN’S STUDENTS & RETREAT ATTENDEES SAY:
“Susan Smith is hands down one of the best yoga instructors I have ever had the privilege of training under. Her understanding of yoga, anatomy, and movement is unparalleled. She teaches with such fluidity and depth, making complex concepts feels both accessible and intuitive. Training under her at Power of Yoga Retreat was an honor—her guidance shaped my practice in ways I didn’t even know were possible. If you’re looking for a teacher who will challenge, inspire, and elevate you, Susan is it.”
“Attending the One Yoga retreat with Susan Smith this past January was nothing short of life-changing. From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced by a sense of peace and purpose. Susan’s guidance, wisdom, and compassionate presence created the perfect space for deep spiritual awakening. Each session—whether on the mat, in meditation, or during soulful discussions—helped me reconnect with myself in ways I never imagined. This retreat affirmed my life’s purpose and left an imprint on my heart that I will carry forever. If you are seeking transformation, healing, or simply a deeper connection with yourself, I cannot recommend this experience enough. Thank you, Susan and One Yoga, for a truly unforgettable journey!”
“One-Yoga’s method offers a gentle way of not only learning a powerful practice rooted in anatomy and kinesiology, but also a way to truly live the life of yoga. Layer by layer, Susan helps her students to peel away the rubbish, find their own truths and live them in a loving, contented, disciplined way. This experience has allowed me to let go of some major anxiety that was steering my life and find enjoyment in the present moment, surrendering to the life that God has planned for me, trusting and loving myself.”
“When I first started my journey into yoga, I was focused on becoming a yoga teacher. One-Yoga and Susan Smith’s immersive yoga training gave me the support, self-knowledge, and inspiration to not only become a confident, competent yoga teacher but to use the tools learned to overcome obstacles encountered in everyday life. I am so appreciative for the self-healing, and gift to help others just like me. I now feel shiny and sparkly like a beam of light. It was beyond anything I ever imagined.”
“My intent for study was to learn more about yoga and develop a personal practice, to keep me on my mat more often. What happened was all that and more. I became happier, I lightened my load by letting go of old burdens I didn’t even know we’re weighing me down. I gained a new family of some of the most amazing women and men that I never want to let go of…and I became a yoga teacher.”
