What have you learned or how have you grown since becoming a YCC instructor?
Teaching yoga has taught me to be guided by my own intuition and creativity when preparing and teaching classes, to not take everything (and myself) so seriously, and to share the practice of yoga with humility and gratitude. I also always come back to the Yamas and Niyamas as a guide for how to navigate life.
What are your current areas of interest related to your practice?
I have recently joined the teaching team for the Yoga for Amputees classes. This community is so inspiring to me; everyone is so positive and welcoming. I am learning a lot about how to adapt poses to make yoga accessible to people with limb loss and limb variance. This is a wonderful opportunity to expand my knowledge and to be creative! I have also completed training in yoga through the lens of trauma and incarceration through the Prison Yoga Project. I am so grateful to be welcomed as a yoga teacher by the people who are incarcerated, who come to class open to the practice of yoga, and always express their gratitude to the teachers.
What to expect in class: Nadine hopes to bring to her students a sense of joy, comfort, and belonging through yoga practice.
Nadine has been teaching yoga for four years. In addition to working full-time in academia, Nadine has also completed end-of-life doula training through INELDA and has volunteered with Gilchrist hospice. She values her yoga training as an opportunity to learn and grow, but also to connect with others, create enduring friendships, and participate in a supportive community, and hopes to provide her students with these valuable benefits.
