Turi Turkel-Nevin
Today yoga truly is a way of living for Turi: Day-in, day-out conscious living, nourishing the body from the inside out with movement and stillness. Experiencing a deep focus on balance, Yin yoga has become a big part of stability that Turi loves to share. She brings to yoga the idea of mindfully deepening the connection between the body, mind, soul while expanding our vision to the world around us. Along with a strong dose of intention and attention, breath and movement, stillness and peace, her approach to wellbeing is offered one class at a time.

Turi is the founder and manager of Turiya Yoga + Wellness in Berryville, VA where she shares intimate group classes, private therapeutic session, and specialty workshop. {turiyayogawellness.com}
Lara Lattman, MS, CNS, LDN
Lara is a Certified Nutrition Specialist and Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist. Lara’s passion is to bring people to optimal health. Using food as medicine, she considers supplements exactly that, a supplement to a great diet. She recognizes that every person is different and may need different things from their diet. Her training has exposed her to many dietary programs both conventional and traditional. Lara guides her clients toward a more balanced way of living, incorporating movement and rest, which along with good nutrition are the building blocks of a healthy lifestyle. She sees people one-on-one for individual counseling and enjoys sharing her knowledge with many through nutrition classes. She feels that group classes are a great way to teach healthy principles in an accessible way, and individual sessions are necessary to dig deeper into stubborn symptoms.
​
Lara graduated in 2014 from Maryland University of Integrative Health with her Master’s of Nutrition and Integrative Health and has been working in the clinical setting every since. She is a Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist by the state of Maryland. Before finding her path in wellness, Lara graduated from University of Massachusetts with a BA in Classics.
