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.

The Messy Magic of Feeling It All
Hey friends, welcome back to Living Your Yoga – Embodied Wisdom!
In this week's episode, I'm recording from the floor of my closet (no joke)... and diving into the messy magic of the Sacral Chakra.
This is chakra two in our seven-part series, and it's all about creativity, sensuality, and emotion—the stuff we often suppress because it feels "too much." But guess what? Feeling deeply is part of being fully alive.
We’ll chat about how to know when this energy center is out of whack, how to get back into flow (literally), and some real-life practices to open it back up—including a story about crying in pigeon.
Also inside:
→ The truth about emotional blockages
→ Bija mantras and energy fine-tuning
→ A contemplative journaling question to help you tap into more joy
→ Why I created a 10-day Handstand Challenge for women 45+
→ Plus how you can go deeper with these teachings inside The Studio
Let this episode be your reminder: you’re allowed to feel it all—and that doesn’t make you too much, it makes you real.
🧘♀️ Contemplation Question:
Where in your life are you holding back your joy or your truth?
