Plus, the videos are completely free of charge.
For first-time viewers, it may be surprising to hear that Mishler has taken the yoga world by storm.
In other words, Mishler’s videos are strikingly down-to-Earth.
As one fan toldThe Guardian, “You just want to be her friend.”
So, without further ado, here’s the untold truth ofYoga with Adriene’s Adriene Mishler.
But despite her YouTube fame, Mishler wasn’t always planning on making a living throughyogateaching.
In fact, when she was younger, she had dreams of making it big in Hollywood.
“I grew up in an art and theater family,” she toldPaper.
“My parents were actors and writers and directors.”
Apparently, Mishler assumed she would follow in their footsteps.
She acted throughout her childhood and studied theater in college.
And for a while, Mishler’s career seemed to be on the right track.
For one, she starred inJoein 2013 opposite Nicolas Cage.
As she joked to theIndependent, “It doesn’t get any bigger than that, you know?
I pressed my bare chest up against Nicholas Cage’s back.”
Mishler decided to train as a yoga teacher to supplement her acting career.
Of course, eventually, it took over.
As she put it, she’s “no long interested in becoming a famous actress.
I’m famous enough.”
For Adriene Mishler, she believes some modern versions of yoga do more harm than good.
As her motto states, “find what feels good.”
And, of course, some modern yogis have been accused of cultural appropriation.
But this is where Mishler stands apart from the crowd.
As she put it, she’s always “tried to teach the real traditional style yoga…
I really want to honor the philosophy.”
Mishler also discussed the dangers of modern yoga culture withRefinery29.
For newcomers to yoga, it means people often feel out of place.
As she explained toThe Guardian, it wasn’t easy selling out.
“It did so disgustingly well,” she said.
Over time, Mishler began to understand the need to market her videos with some questionable phrases.
However, as Mishler confessed, getting a six pack is actually anatomically impossible for a woman.
We have to say Mishler’s approach to fame and fortune is seriously refreshing!
To that end, this iconic backdrop has become very familiar.
But have you ever wondered what else is in the room?
“There’s my dining room table now permanently pushed back to the wall,” Mishler said.
Mishler went on to explain that the room had become more of a filming space than a dining room.
Next to the table are, “a bunch of blankets and blocks and an extra yoga mat.
It’s just a dining room turned yoga room,” she explained.
We totally love to think that this YouTube superstar is still using a makeshift studio in her dining room.
It turns out, she was born and bred in Austin, Texas.
But I’m still here."
It’s clear that Mishler is still head-over-heels in love with her hometown.
Then, she visited a local yoga studio where she works when not teaching online.
Finally, Mishler headed to a Mexican restaurant.
Mishler definitely loves her city!
As the yoga instructor confessed toPaper, she didn’t have many references when it came to fitness videos.
As she went on to say, she didn’t look at any online yoga teachers.
In an interview forUSA Today, Mishler revealed a slightly more surprising inspiration.
That’s right Mishler wanted to be the friendly neighborhood yoga instructor.
As she put it,Mr.
However, the YouTube channel isn’t solely her creation.
In fact, she has a business partner who runs everything behind the scenes.
Mishler met Chris Sharpe on a film set of a horror movie.
While the movie was never finished, meeting Sharpe proved to be life changing for Mishler.
“Instructional, educational content on YouTube just wasn’t a thing.”
“No one actually watched in the early days, but we stayed consistent,” she continued.
“Not that I’ve ever tried to hide it hell no,” she clarified.
“But I wasn’t raised bilingual and I happen to be fair-skinned.”
At one point, Mishler suddenly realized that her Mexican heritage was something very few people knew about.
So, she began learning Spanish.
The pair are even watching the same Spanish soap opera as it helps Mishler pick up the language.
Well, the instructor opened up toUSA Todayabout her internal monologue during her classes.
As Mishler explained, she’s always aware of what the class might be triggering in different students.
And that’s not all.
It gets eve more complicated than that, though.
Whoa that’s a lot to think about all at once!
We’ll definitely watch her yoga videos a little differently from now on.
As she toldPaper, she became a yoga instructor to supplement her acting income.
However, it turns out, she almost did a very different second job instead.
As Mishler revealed on theHilah’s Happy Hourpodcast, she actually thought about becoming a sign language interpreter.
As Mishler explained, she’d been studying ASL while in drama school.
She added that her aunt worked at the school, so it seemed like the perfect fit.
In Adriene Mishler’s case, this assumption wouldn’t be too far from the truth.
Apparently, she’s also hadveganphases, but struggled due to her love of eggs.
Mishler went on to share her ideal menu for a day.
“I make breakfast tacos a lot,” she continued.
Plus, she added, she loves an Americano.
This is probably because Mishler is and always has been dedicated to staying honest and true to herself.
As she summed up, “We have a go at keep it real.”
This realness has definitely become a defining feature of her channel.
It’s no wonder she’s become the “patron saint of quarantine” during COVID-19, asPaperput it.
Compared to all of the other glossy fitness gurus, Mishler always feels like a breath of fresh air.
And when success finally came, her life was turned upside down.
The pressures of fame also led to vocal stress and serious vocal chord surgery.
Sounds like Mishler certainly went through a lot during those early years.
Luckily, she’d always worked from home.
“What I did not expect was this crazy traffic boost,” she explained toPaper.
“We’re all working a little more than usual,” Mishler continued.
Even though Mishler’s channel became more popular than ever, she was careful not to overdo it.
Sounds like Mishler is definitely onto something.
