Michelle Robertson

Michelle Robertson, known to her students as Shell, teaches yoga and meditation in the Sutherland Shire in southern Sydney under the name The YinSide. She trained at HYA Yoga Studio and Academy in Miranda, with Sarah Owen Yoga and Mindfulness and at The Practice in Bali, and is registered with Yoga Alliance, with qualifications in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and chair yoga, meditation teaching and holistic human development. She is also a Reiki practitioner and a certified Roll Model Method practitioner, and has been teaching for more than ten years.

Her classes are calm and unhurried, with close attention to alignment and long, supported Yin holds paired with breath awareness and mindfulness, and she draws on the meridian ideas of Traditional Chinese Medicine to shape seasonal sessions. Each week she teaches women-only flow and Yin classes in a home studio in Caringbah as well as evening classes at a local wellness studio, and she offers private lessons and sessions for workplaces and community groups. Several times a year she co-leads women's weekend retreats in the New South Wales countryside and afternoon Yin and sound workshops with local sound practitioners. On Insight Timer she shares gentle morning and evening practices, chakra meditations and short Yin sequences.
