Shedding the Shame with Krista Oakes

The Shá Sparks Show

Have you been keeping a secret? Have you been reluctant to tell someone the truth because you fear that you’ll feel ashamed? In this episode, our amazing guest, Krista Oakes shares her journey of feeling shame and how she shed it. She uncovers the twists and turns of her childhood and how she was able to heal through yoga and sharing her story in her brilliant book, "Shedding the Shame".

As an author, inspiring speaker, Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) and mindfulness coach, she has worked with thousands of individuals through classes, workshops, and retreats—helping them cultivate inner peace, self-trust, and alignment in both body and life.

Her approach blends the wisdom of yoga philosophy, meditation, and lifestyle coaching with a practical, down-to-earth style—always infused with warmth, humor, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey.
