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.

Knowledge VS Wisdom
In this episode of 'Living Your Yoga Embodied Wisdom, I dive into the distinctions between knowledge and wisdom. Through personal stories and reflections, I explain how wisdom is shaped by lived experiences, while knowledge is accumulated through learning. Today we chat about the importance of embodying wisdom in teaching and life.
This episode also highlights the significance of imperfection, personal growth, and authentic sharing in creating meaningful connections.
I leave you with a contemplation of course. Where are you holding onto knowledge and chow can you begin to embody it?
