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
What if it's really not working out? 🙄
In this episode of 'Living Your Yoga Embodied Wisdom,' I reflect on the frustrations and struggles of life when things seem not to be working out, despite having a full toolkit of spiritual practices.
I chat about the importance of pausing, stepping back, and giving oneself permission to take a break.
It's ok to let your spiritual tools collect dust temporarily and to find spaciousness and softness in your daily lives.
Today I share a guided breathing exercise to help you reconnect with yourself and remind you that you don't need to have it all figurd out.
