Still Struggling with Michelle Robinson Aum At Home

I Know Better, But Still Struggle

Since Sunday, I’ve felt awful. Bloated. Sluggish. Uncomfortable in my body. And more than that — disappointed in myself.

Whispers From Nature

I spent the weekend at La Solitude, nestled in nature and wrapped in a quiet that my bones have been craving for a long time. It was a retreat in every sense of the word—gentle, slow, and rich with space to reflect. I went as a participant, not a teacher. And in that shift, I was met with something unexpected: myself.

What Are You Craving?

Cravings aren’t bad. They’re simply signals. In fact, the desire to feel good, to connect, to feel full (in any way) is incredibly natural. The challenge comes when we reach for something that doesn’t truly nourish us.

A Healing Journey with Michelle Robinson Aum At Home

This Is What a Healing Journey Looks Like

I was 6.5 months postpartum. Scared. Confused. Diagnosed just three months earlier, the whole experience unfolded so quickly I barely had time to process it—let alone prepare.

What I’m Learning Through Listening, Loving, and the Practice of Letting Go

Lately, I’ve been feeling like two different versions of myself are taking turns behind the wheel of my life. There’s the Michelle who is fearless—driven, focused, determined to follow through on her dreams. She’s bold in her body, grounded in her clarity, and shows up without hesitation.

Sivananda Yoga Training with Michelle Robinson AumAtHome

Permission to Pause

The Sivananda method invites us to slow down, to do less, and in doing so, to feel more. Each posture is followed by rest, often savasana, allowing the body to integrate and the energy to settle. There’s no rush to the next pose—no pressure to perform. It’s a practice of presence, patience, and profound release.

Cleansing with Compassion

Cleansing goes beyond what we eat or the amount of water we drink. It’s also about releasing the thoughts, emotions, and old stories that no longer serve us. As I mentioned during class: “We are not at war with our bodies, but rather we are here to compassionately and courageously love it.”

Prenatal Warrior Three with Michelle Robinson AumAtHome

Balancing More Than the Body

Throughout the month, we explored how steadiness applies to the breath, to our thoughts, to our intentions, and to the way we consistently return to our practice—even (especially) when life gets full.

Natarajasana Dancer Pose with Michelle Robinson AumAtHome

The Dance With the Tension of Life

The dancer’s pose—named after Nataraja, a form of Shiva, the cosmic dancer. In the story, Shiva dances the rhythm of creation and destruction, a divine movement so powerful that when his lifted foot touches the earth, the world as we know it dissolves. A potent symbol of transformation—and of the fragility and beauty of every moment.
