Biography

Mishler was born in Austin, Texas, into an "artsy family".[3][8] Her mother is of Mexican descent.[9] Her father is Jewish. 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,[10] with the help of her producer and business partner Chris Sharpe, whom she met when working as the lead on a horror indie film.[8] 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]

In 2015, she launched the yoga video subscription service Find What Feels Good.[10]

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.[11] She was part of the "I'm Here to Create" film series and was the face of her own yoga clothing line,[12] as well as a member of the Adidas Women Global Creator Network.[6] Adidas x WANDERLUST launched their FW17 line through an International Yoga Day livestream led by Mishler, attended by over 665,000 people.[13] In 2018, she made a tour of Europe leading yoga mass classes.[14][2]

From 2015 to 2024, Mishler launched a 30-day yoga challenge to celebrate the new year, releasing one video every day starting on January 1.[10] In 2025, she released a 7-day yoga challenge, as she focused on her personal as well as her team's mental and physical well-being while still continuing the series.

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] Her dog Benji often appears on her videos, next to her mat.[15][10][16][17] In 2015, her channel was the most searched yoga class in Google.[14]

In 2016, she received the Streamy health and well-being prize.[14] In 2018 according to The Guardian, she had 4 million subscribers.[2] 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.[10] In April 2020 her channel had more than 7 million subscribers.[3][10]

Over the next 5 years that number continued to grow, reaching 13 million by the beginning of 2025.[7]
