Returning to Yourself — Embodiment, Yoga & Self-Connection with Liv

Season 3 • Episode 4: Returning to Yourself — Embodiment, Yoga & Self-Connection with Liv What does it really mean to return to yourself? In this episode of Unfiltered with Love , Kerry sits down with Liv, a yoga instructor, social work professional, and facilitator for the upcoming Return to Yourself women’s retreat, for a conversation about embodiment, mindfulness, self-awareness, and reconnecting with who you are underneath expectations, productivity, and the roles you play for everyone else. Liv shares her perspective on returning to your authentic self, the mind-body connection, breathwork, meditation, crystal sound healing, and the grounding effects of nature. She also talks about how yoga can become much more than physical movement — creating greater awareness of thought patterns, emotional habits, self-worth, and the way we relate to ourselves. The conversation also takes an unexpected turn into confidence and being seen. Liv opens up about once struggling with stage fright and feeling uncomfortable being perceived by others, and how years of teaching helped her become more comfortable using her voice. That leads into a deeper discussion about self-empowerment, childhood conditioning, negative thought patterns, and becoming aware of the beliefs we carry without even realizing it. Liv also shares how deeply she has explored the philosophy and history of yoga through Sanskrit study, meditation, and time spent learning from monks — and why she believes yoga and meditation can become a way of life rather than simply something we do for an hour in a class.
