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
When everything feels a little wobbly
Hey friends—welcome to Episode 1 of the Chakra Series on Living Your Yoga – Embodied Wisdom.
We’re starting at the root. Because let’s be honest… when life feels like it’s spinning, what we’re often craving is safety, stillness, and a sense of home.
In this episode, I dive into the Root Chakra—your energetic foundation—and unpack what it actually feels like when it’s out of balance (hello, anxiety, instability, and survival mode) vs. when it’s aligned (think grounded, secure, connected, steady).
This isn’t just chakra theory—it’s a real talk about how we find our footing when the world feels wobbly. I share personal stories from my own journey—including what happened when I first moved to Costa Rica—and what I learned about finding safety within.
You’ll learn:
- The key traits of the Root Chakra
- The associated element and color
- Everyday practices to feel more grounded
- One simple question to help you reflect on where you're standing
So take a breath. Press play. And let’s come back to Earth—together. 🌍
