About Us

Nadine is a lifelong yoga and meditation practitioner who owns and also teaches at Endless Shore Yoga and Meditation Centre. She is a certified, knowledgeable and intuitive teacher who brings love and humour, her compassionate heart and who shares her authentic experiences to her classes. Nadine found yoga (or yoga found her) through curiosity, her desire for self-reliance, her need to empower herself and the deep intrinsic yearning to connect with her sacred self. The practice of yoga guided her to the natural ways of healing one's self; to explore, experience and express her authenticity. Practicing yoga and meditation taught her how to skilfully adapt to challenging situations off the mat, to ease through times of transitions and uncertainty and to remain grounded. Nadine's teaching embodies an eclectic blend of styles such as Integral, Iyengar, Restorative, Tantra, Daoist Yoga, Tibetan Healing Yoga (Lu Jong). She also incorporates the healing movement modalities of Qi Gong, Kum Nye (Tibetan Relaxation) and meditative techniques such as Mudra Space Awareness. She weaves ancient yoga and Buddhist philosophy into her teaching, inspiring students to experience these ancient practices which remain relevant today in our lives. Nadine extends her profound gratitude to her primary root teacher, Dr. Binaji Nelson who inspired and encouraged her to be a yoga teacher over 40 years ago, She also extends her profound gratitude to her second primary teacher, Sandra Sammartino for teaching Yoga Beyond Form, of teaching from inspiration and from the heart.

Hi there! It is lovely to meet you. I am a 400 hour trauma-informed breathwork facilitator trained through Alchemy of Breath and the founder of Untold Breathwork. Prior to this, I worked as a Registered Respiratory Therapist at the largest trauma hospital in BC, Canada for > 10 years, supporting the most critically ill patients across the province.I found breathwork at one of my lowest points in my life. Spending most of it with severe depression, chronic pain, and debilitating dis-ease after surviving through sexual/psychological abuse and brain surgery. I felt unsafe and betrayed by my body, so I punished it until it could not sustain itself, leaving me bedridden. Enough was enough. I was called to heal: open my heart again and to see all these bad things didn't happen to me. They happened for me. My body did not betray me. It carried me through.It was through remembering my breath and reconnecting with my body that I am still here: coming home to who I AM and always was. Through my healing journey, my breath became my best friend and my anchor. It is here for me when I am feeling scared, anxious, angry, or any other feeling that would otherwise overwhelm me. I committed myself to this work to help others, like you, remember and reconnect with their breath: this beautiful gift we all carry with us. It is through breathing deep and opening our hearts that we not only heal but free ourselves. This can feel scary, maybe even overwhelming so I will take love and care for your nervous system, honoring your needs, and we will always go at your pace.
