Biography

Mishler was born in Austin, Texas, into an "arty family".[3][7] She began her career as a professional film and television actor, as well as performing as a voiceover artist, but after taking a yoga class at a studio, Mishler had a realization that she wanted everyone she knew to "have this experience [of yoga]", and completed a yoga teacher training course.[6]

Career

Mishler started Yoga With Adriene in 2012,[8] with the help of her producer and business partner Chris Sharpe, whom she met when working as the lead on a horror indie film.[7] Sharpe had already helped create a successful YouTube channel, Hilah Cooking, with his wife, and was keen to apply these skills to the wellness industry.[6]

Mishler first collaborated with Adidas in 2015 as part of their revamp of their women's business, featuring a new focus on female athletes and active personalities.[9] She was part of the "I'm Here to Create" film series and was the face of her own yoga clothing line,[10] as well as a member of the Adidas Women Global Creator Network.[6] Adidas x WANDERLUST launched their FW17 line through a International Yoga Day livestream led by Mishler, attended by over 665,000 people.[11]

Reception

Mishler's laid back personality and beginner-friendly teaching style has been widely praised in the media, being described by Marisa Meltzer of The Guardian as "the yoga girl next door".[3] During the COVID-19 pandemic, her YouTube channel gained more attention from viewers looking for at-home fitness videos to do while in lockdown. On April 13, 2020, Yoga With Adriene received 1.8 million daily views.[8]
