ABOUT US
Meet the Team
Who am I?
Welcome, I am Nevra.
I transformed my own burnout into a mission to help others heal. After years in corporate America, I discovered how massage, yoga, retreats, mindful travel, and community can restore balance and well-being. Today, I support high-achievers and stressed individuals in resetting their nervous systems, releasing tension, and reconnecting with themselves through holistic wellness experiences.
Each year, I lead intimate wellness journeys to my homeland, Türkiye—exploring Istanbul, Ephesus, Bodrum, and the stunning Turkish Riviera while sharing the culture, history, and healing traditions that shaped me.
Through The Whole Living, I also create supportive community gatherings where people can connect, share, heal, and thrive together. My purpose is simple: to help people live calmer, healthier, and more meaningful lives.
When did I start?
I am a yoga and pilates instructor, licensed massage therapist, and wellness facilitator passionate about helping people connect with their body, mind, and soul. I have been teaching yoga since 2014 and graduated from the East-West College of the Healing Arts in 2021.
Originally from Istanbul, my journey has taken me across four continents, where I have lived, studied, and taught yoga and meditation. Certified in Vinyasa and Hatha yoga, I integrate meditation and breathwork into my classes and retreats to create a holistic and mindful experience.
After a 15-year career at Intel, I chose to follow my passion for wellness full-time. Today, I offer yoga, pilates, massage therapy, retreats, and breathing workshops designed to inspire people to live healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling lives.
Namaste!
