Adriene Mishler, a renowned yoga influencer and creator of the popular "Yoga With Adriene" platform, is known for her holistic approach to health and wellness. Recently, she shared an Instagram video, captioned “Happy Sunday,” where she showcased a new routine while wearing a stylish two-piece exercise set. Adriene incorporates yoga, walking, running, and strength training into her fitness regimen, while maintaining a pescatarian-inspired diet and prioritizing self-care practices like reading. Here’s a closer look at her balanced lifestyle habits.
Yoga
Adriene is a big advocate of yoga, maintaining that she “cried tears of joy” during her first yoga class. “I want people to understand that you don’t have to be ‘good’ at yoga to feel the benefits of yoga – you just need to show up. The magic doesn’t happen when you ‘get’ a certain pose, either; it happens when you realise you’re in charge of your own happiness on your yoga mat,” she told Women’s Health.
Running, Walking, Strength Training
Adriene mixes other workouts in. “I get on my mat most days, but I’ll also take my dog, Benji, for a walk and I try to do one short daily run, too. I started resistance training because I wanted to become a better runner and to do something new where I wasn't the expert. I pushed too hard at the start, but sessions with a trainer who specialises in mobility and strength training have helped me find balance. It’s been good for my mind to do something that I originally sucked at,” she added.
Pescatarian Diet

However, lately, I’ve been learning more about the impact of fishing on the ocean and I’m questioning whether I should fully cut it out. I’ve had phases where I’ve been vegan – except for eggs. I couldn’t be without them,” she told Women’s Health.
Here Is What She Eats in a Day

My classic is egg, spinach, onion and garlic in a tortilla, which keeps me going into the afternoon,” she says. “I’ll snack on a banana and a big handful of nuts, or almond butter on rice cakes, with an Americano,” she continued. And dinner? “A go-to dinner is a bowl of the big batch of green soup I make weekly alongside a bean and quinoa salad,” she said.
Reading

Nothing helps me switch off from work quite like reading, though,” she said. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.
