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 bring 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.

Sharon has been practicing yoga for 23 years and teaching forever 18 years. Here's her story. "I was a stay-at-home mom of three young children and had start going to yoga and loved how it made me feel - especially how it supported my emotional and spiritual self,. My teacher at that time had always said to be open to signs no matter the size of them...sometimes they come to us very quietly and other times it can be a loud are-you-paying attention kind of way! One week I felt this deep sense that I was meant to be a yoga teacher and in a matter of days I had numerous people tell me I should teach or thought I already was teaching. I took that a a "are you listening" kind of sign that I should think seriously about becoming a yoga teacher. Shortly after that, I enrolled the Teacher Training with Sandra Sammartino. This was an experiential training, going deep into all the limbs of yoga and I have never looked back. Since becoming a teacher, I have a stronger sense of how we hold stress (emotional) and physical) in our bodies and how that can lead to dis-ease. The more we can allow ourselves to let grand open up first through the physical body (asanas) we can peel away the layers of armouring and hardening that not only shows up in the postures, joints and muscles but more so in our state of well-being - our emotional bodies and personalities, We become softer, more accepting, andiron-judgemental of others and of ourselves the more our bodies open through yoga. We all have a story, good and bad, but not all of is have learned how to let go and move forward in our lives in a positive direction and be Kind and Humble during the process"
