Living Your Yoga - embodied wisdom with Shirlee Williams
This isn’t your average yoga podcast.
Living Your Yoga – Embodied Wisdom is where real life meets real practice—no filter, no fluff, no forced enlightenment.
I’m Shirlee—yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, and mentor to yoga teachers who are done with performance and ready to show up as their whole, messy, magical selves.
Each week, we explore how yoga lives beyond the mat—through stories, soul talk, deep breaths, and occasional sass. From parenting and partnership to pigeon pose and panic attacks, this podcast is about the real practice: how we show up when life gets loud, uncertain, or beautifully ordinary.
Expect a little wisdom, a little humor, and a whole lot of heart.
Whether you’re a longtime yogi or yoga-curious human just trying to make it through Monday, you’re welcome here.
Take a breath. Let’s begin.
Living Your Yoga - embodied wisdom with Shirlee Williams
Nobody Cares 🤯
Welcome to the very first episode of Living Your Yoga! I am so friggen excited you’re here.
In this episode, I ditch the need for a perfect origin story and instead invite you into what this podcast is really about—real life, real practice, and the magic (and mess) that happens off the mat.
We’ll talk about how yoga isn’t just the poses or the playlists—it’s how we show up when life feels hard, chaotic, or just totally ordinary. When the laundry’s piling up. When you’re having a bad day. When your nervous system is begging for a reset.
This podcast is not about perfection. It’s about remembering that in every moment, we have an opportunity to breathe, to soften, to show up differently.
So here we are. Let’s begin.
And thank you—truly—for being here.
