Becoming You with Shirlee Williams

About Becoming You 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.
