“What just happened?” was Adrienne Smith’s thought after the final Om and cheering that commemorated her first ever sweaty power yoga class.
There was something intentional, invigorating and captivating about THIS yoga class that she couldn’t find in any other studio so she decided to go learn from Baron Baptiste in 2008. After her first training, she discovered her reason for existing…her “why” as Simon Sinek puts it.
“Our life is meant to be lived on our terms and I’ve dedicated my life to supporting people in doing just that!”
In July 2008, Power of Your Om was born in Naperville, Illinois - the same year this fire-filled woman trained for her first Ironman Triathlon and qualified for the Ironman World Championships.
Adrienne owned and operated this studio as she moved her life to California and began to blaze new trails and create new roots. Om #2 opened in sunny Santa Barbara in 2011 to bring this profound practice and electrifying community to Santa Barbara. She has gone through her late 20s, 30s and now into her 40s as a yogi, entrepreneur, elite athlete, leader, and now a mother - the craziest role yet! She knows what it takes to endure physical demands and mental toughness as she set a world record in 2022 for the fastest team of women to ROW unsupported across the Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to Honolulu.
Most recently, Adrienne is proud to say she figured out how to navigate being a small business owner during a pandemic, step into the challenge of the pacific ocean crossing, and recognize the impact and stress both of those things has had on her body.
The practices of yoga as the playbook for life is strong at her core.

“I have spent over a decade racing long distance triathlons and I made it safely and joyfully across the Pacific Ocean BECAUSE yoga has always been a part of my training. I’ve been able to push my body to the edges because something deep within me knows that I can. Yoga has a profound way of peeling back my doubts and has given me the ability to see what I’m physically capable of, honor where I’m at and play my personal edges while staying calm. ”
