Mindset Connection Episode 42: Mariana Fernandez

Welcome to the Mindset Connection Podcast on the Jennifer Clearwaters channel! Thank you for showing up to each episode to learn about the amazing people we want you to know more about. We dove into episode 42 by showcasing another amazing person-who also works for Peloton. Mariana Fernandez was able to talk to us virtually before running back to the studio to teach more magical classes. Mariana is technically a yoga, meditation, and tread instructor for the Peloton company, but she is also so much more. A Latina girl growing up in a household of athletes, Mariana credited her parents for fostering her love of running and movement. By the way-she told us her mom recently ran a marathon at age 73, so what are we waiting for? Mariana credits so much of her current work to her extensive background in fine arts and theater. Because she trained as a working actor for so many years, she is unrattled by things that would make the rest of us sweat, such as sudden schedule changes, speaking in public, or being “ON” with little notice. Mariana’s classes are filled with incredible music-scripted like a play-and infused with love, positive energy, and “Mariana Magic.” And NO-the playlists are not generated by AI. Mariana talked openly about dealing with life struggles and how she has learned to release and address feelings and not suppress them-something we all should work on. If you are looking for a place where you feel you belong, Mariana’s studio is the place to be. She told us she is a hugger, and we could feel that hug through the screen loud and clear. We hope you love this beautiful episode as much as we did.
