Biography

Mishler was born in Austin, Texas, into an "artsy family".[4][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.[7]

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.[7]

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.[7] 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][3]

Every year since 2015, she has launched a 30-day yoga challenge, releasing one video every day starting on January 1st.[10]

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