Podcast Episode 172: Meet Adriene Mishler, YouTube’s Leading Yoga Influencer

Adrienne Mishler Headshot

I met Adriene Mishler at a hotel somewhere in the middle of the U.S., just after 9 in the evening, one dark, cold night.  

To say I was frustrated would be an understatement.  

A month or so of injury recovery had left my limber body, well, anything, but limber and as I segwayed my practice into my headstand, my body felt more than a little lost {and my mind felt like all it needed was some serious, intensive, back to the basics yoga teacher training}.  

So, I did what all modern day girl’s in my situation would do…

I You-Tubed a solution.  

Suffice it to say the first few videos I watched weren’t what I had in mind, but on the fourth video, there was Adriene, thoughtfully and intelligently guiding me back into my steady headstand, while taking the time to walk me through each iteration of the pose.  

Since then, I’ve followed as she’s amassed a multi-million person following, bringing the highest quality of instruction to the masses and furthering the spread of yoga’s reach around the world.
