Ariel’s ongoing mission is to awaken her students to the extraordinary potential of the body's wisdom - which she does daily through her online mindful movement program EMBODIED with Ariel.
So, I am so excited to share this conversation with Ariel today.
Not only is she the kind of person who you’re in awe of because of the way she lives her life, but she’s also a client of mine who is currently in my mastermind group, Magnetism, and completed my biz mentorship program, Your Wellness Brand in the spring of 2021.
She’s brilliant and creating a platform that is truly one-of-a-kind.
In this episode, we chat about what it was like to start her career as an actress at 18 and be cast in a controversial episode of the Sopranos, why she decided to leave behind Hollywood in her 20’s, gave working a desk job a shot, and ultimately fell in love with yoga instead, what inspired her to become a yoga teacher, and her journey becoming a super popular teacher in New York City who was flown around the world by Equinox to run a runner’s reset program, her personal experience with trauma and how playing an active role in her healing inspired her to integrate trauma healing into her work, her decision to leave New York and go on a solo road trip to the desert right before COVID, and how this inspired her to pivot her work and launch her membership platform, why she decided to enroll in my business mentorship program YWB to evolve her brand, and what her experience was like, and so much more!
