Mindset Connection Episode 42: Mariana Fernandez

Welcome to the Mindset Connection Podcast, and thank you forshowing up each episode to learn about the amazing people we wantyou to know more about. We dove into episode 42 by showcasinganother amazing teacher-who also works for Peloton. MarianaFernandez was able to talk to us virtually before running back to thestudio to teach more magical classes. Mariana is technically a yoga,meditation, and tread instructor for the Pelotin company, but she isalso so much more. A Latina girl growing up in a household ofathletes, Mariana credited her parents for fostering her love ofrunning. By the way-she told us her mom recently ran a marathon atage 73, so what are we waiting for? Mariana credits so much of hercurrent work to her extensive background in fine arts and theater.Because she trained as a working actor for so many years, she isunrattled by things that would make the rest of us sweat, such assudden schedule changes, speaking in public, or being “ON” withlittle notice. Mariana’s classes are filled with incredible music-scriptedlike a play-and infused with love, positive energy, and “MarianaMagic.” And NO-the playlists are not generated by AI. Mariana talkedopenly about dealing with life struggles and how she has learned torelease and address feelings and not suppress them-something we allshould work on. If you are looking for a place where you feel youbelong, Mariana’s studio is where you need to be. She told us she is ahugger, and we could feel that hug through the screen loud and clear.We hope you love this beautiful episode as much as we did.The Changemaker for Merging Fine Arts, Fitness, and FeelingsContact Information for Mariana FernandezSocial Media: @mariana.fernandez.co_____________________________________________Contact Information for Hosts, Jennifer Clearwaters and CynthiaO’Connell:Jenwww.mindsetnj.com-Website@mindsetjen-Instagram@mindsetconnectionpod-TikTok@jenniferclearwaters-YouTube@mindsetconnectionpod-YouTubeCindywww.mindfulnessconnection.com-Website@mindfulnssconnection-Instagram@mindsetconnctionpod-TikTok@mindsetconnectionpod-YouTube@theelevationprinciples-YouTube channel for the book, The ElevationPrinciplesThe Elevation Principles is available on Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1665307099?ref=myi_title_dpPLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THE SHOW!Podcast available on Apple, Spotify, and YouTubeThis podcast is produced, recorded, and edited at Black SwallowtailStudios in Eatontown, NJ.
