About Nadine

Hello and welcome to EMERALD. My name is Nadine McMahon. I teach yoga and hold space for people in various capacities.

I have great reverence for Yoga and Tantra and draw heavily on these ancient traditions in my teachings. I am also influenced by the patterns and cycles of nature, feminine wisdom, the written word and of course, my own lived experience.

I first came to Yoga during the early days of my career as a corporate lawyer in London as a way to help manage stress and anxiety. I discovered a deep devotion to the practice. It reignited my curiosity and reminded me of what it is that connects us all.

Since then, I have spent years carrying out the (often challenging!) act of juggling the practice of Yoga with the practice of law. Duality in action! Many lessons learned and many more to come no doubt.

I created this space to share some of the wisdom that has helped and shaped me over the years. I know that every person has something unique and beautiful to offer to the world. My aim through my teaching is to help others to connect to that authentic version of themselves as often as possible.

Let’s do this differently

I am acutely aware of the challenges that individuals face when trying to find balance, purpose and joy in daily life.

All too often, the things that light us up become lost in the grind of deadlines, to-do lists and everything that goes along with them.

I know that we all deserve better and we definitely owe it to ourselves and the generations that will follow us to find a more harmonious way of living.

You can’t live your life in a yoga studio but you also don’t have to live your life ticking off a to-do list… despite what we may have been told.

It is never too late to find a different way of doing things. I’m ready to find out what that is for me. Are you?
