Episode 259: The Power of Drishti | In this powerful episode, we explore the yogic concept of drishti (your gaze and your point of focus) and how where you choose to place your attention shapes your mindset, energy and ultimately, your reality. Shayla unpacks the difference between outer and inner drishti, the neuroscience behind focus and how to use drishti as a tool for manifestation, presence and personal empowerment both on and off the mat.

You'll learn how to reclaim your focus in a world full of distractions, how to use drishti to align with your goals and how to bring it into your daily rituals. Whether you're feeling scattered, stuck in comparison, or simply craving more clarity, this episode will help you come home to yourself and stay anchored in your vision.

Episode 258: True Wellness = Flexibility, Not Perfection | In this episode, I’m sharing a gentle but important reminder: true wellness isn’t about perfection, it’s about flexibility. We explore the all-or-nothing mindset, how to hold routines with softness instead of rigidity and why real alignment comes from presence, not performance. If you’ve been hard on yourself for “falling off track,” this episode will help you reframe those moments as invitations to realign.

Episode 256: Satya & Self-Honesty | In this episode, we’re exploring the yogic principle of Satya (truthfulness) and what it really means to live in alignment with your truth. I talk about how self-honesty is the foundation for growth, what happens when we avoid our own inner truth and why getting radically honest with yourself is one of the most empowering things you can do.

Episode 254 PREVIEW: Expect the Unexpected & Never Say Never (Full Episode on Patreon) | This is a preview of a subscriber-only episode from Aligned Access, my sacred space on Patreon where we go deeper than ever before.

In this storytime-style episode, I share the wildly aligned (and slightly cinematic) moment a mystery man left a dozen roses and a handwritten note at my door… the same day I’d been vlogging about how men don’t just show up at your front door. It was hilarious, heart-opening and more than anything: a powerful sign.

We dive into manifestation, divine timing, why “birds before land” moments matter and how to trust the energetic breadcrumbs even when the full picture hasn’t arrived. It’s a reminder to stay open, surrender control and let yourself be surprised. Because anything is possible… and your desires might be closer than you think.

Episode 253: Return To The Mat | What if coming back to your practice didn’t require perfection, only presence? In this honest and heartfelt solo episode, Shayla reflects on her own journey of reconnecting with her yoga practice after a season of disconnection. Through personal stories, mindset shifts and gentle invitations, she reminds you that your mat is always waiting and you are always allowed to begin again.

This episode is an invitation to release the pressure to “do it right,” get clear on your why, re-enchant your rituals and build a gentle re-entry plan rooted in intention, not obligation. Whether you’ve been away for a week, a month, or a year, this is your permission slip to return; with softness, with love and with grace.
