About
Meet Nadine.
Welcome to my world of wellness, where a passion for health, mindful movement and living life to its fullest come together. My mission is to guide you towards vitality, balance and personal growth — one session at a time.
My story
From a corner office to the mat.
My journey into wellness began in 2015, when I was invited to a semi-silent yoga retreat in the quiet of the Jura mountains. It was a revelation — the kind that quietly rearranges your priorities. At the time I was a PA to a CEO in Geneva's financial world, teaching yoga in the evenings.
I trained with Sanjeev Bhanot at Yogalife, then kept learning: Thai yoga massage, Antastha workshops, the Rainbow Kids Yoga teacher training, and later Mat and Reformer Pilates at the SwissPilates Fit for Life school. In 2019 I left the security of the corporate world to teach full time — a leap that still feels like the best decision I have made.
Since then I have had the privilege of guiding thousands of clients at some of the most beautiful studios, hotels and offices in Geneva and Zurich, in English and French. I am a British citizen, based in Founex, and at home anywhere there is a mat.
“Being a teacher means being a lifetime student. Each session is an opportunity to learn, evolve and move closer to a balanced, empowered version of yourself.”

How I teach
Three things you can expect in every class.
Adapted to you
Every class starts with a question: how are you today? Injuries, energy and goals shape the sequence — nothing is one-size-fits-all.
Strength and softness
Pilates precision meets the breath and stillness of Hatha yoga. You leave stronger and calmer, not just tired.
Still a student
Being a teacher means being a lifetime student. I keep training so that what I share with you stays fresh and safe.
Beyond the studio
Hockey players, bankers, beginners.
I have taught breathing and recovery to the elite juniors of Genève-Servette, weekly classes to teams at Pictet, JTI, Lombard Odier and the WTO, and first-ever sessions to people who were convinced yoga was not for them. It always is.
Work with me
Kind words
From the people I teach.
I participated to several virtual yoga classes from different teachers and Nadine was one of the best! The routine benefits both your mind and body as it includes breathing, stretching, strength and relaxation. I felt extremely well doing it and even better afterwards. My regular attendance to her Hatha Yoga classes helped me to improve on various aspects such as flexibility, arms, shoulders and thigh strength.
I warmly recommend Nadine for anyone who wants to learn and/or practice yoga. She pays attention to your overall health condition before starting the class and she adapts easily to your need whether you're looking for a more relaxing or energizing session. I always feel better after the session and it helps to decrease the stress level in general.
Nadine is an excellent yoga teacher, very professional and caring. Practices are energetic and relaxing depending on the class mood and needs. Namasté.
