About the Facilitators
This retreat grew from the meeting of two soul sisters walking different yet complementary paths.
Ayelet’s grounding Iyengar Yoga practice shaped by the Himalayas, and Supriya’s deep work with the unconscious mind and emotional healing.
Together we created a retreat that feels honest, human, and rooted in real experience - a place where movement, awareness, nature, and music meet to open the heart in gentle, meaningful ways.
We believe that our methods strengthen one another, offering participants a deeper and more connected journey, one that supports both body, mind and soul.
Our intention is simple: to create a space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with our soul's wisdom.
Ayelet Shilgy
Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher (RIMYI, Pune)
Ayelet is a dedicated Iyengar Yoga teacher with over two decades of personal practice and more than a decade of teaching experience. Originally from Israel, she first arrived in Dharamshala in 2003, an encounter that changed the course of her life and eventually led her to make the Himalayas her home. She later founded Mountain View Yog Studio, where she teaches students from around the world and continues to study with senior Iyengar teachers internationally.
Iyengar Yoga and the Himalayas are woven into Ayelet’s heart and everyday life - two soulful companions that ground her, open her, and remind her to live from a quieter, more honest place.
Her daily practice nurtures discipline and motivation, and reminds her to meet each day with presence, sensitivity, and authenticity.
Ayelet’s teaching is heartfelt and attentive. She offers precise alignment-based instruction while supporting each participant with patience, clarity, and compassion. Her approach blends structure with softness, creating space for students to explore their bodies, breath, and inner experience.
This retreat brings together Ayelet’s lifelong connection to the mountains and her commitment to the transformative power of practice. She opens her home in the Himalayas to create a warm, grounded environment where people can pause, breathe, reconnect, and discover a deeper sense of balance — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

About the methods
Iyengar Yoga
“Action is movement with intelligence. The world is filled with movement. What the world needs is more conscious movement, more action.” – B.K.S. Iyengar
Considered by many to be “the father of modern yoga”, B.K.S. Iyengar developed his innovative and inspired approach to yoga through intense practice and self-study. His famous book, Light on Yoga, has been continuously in print since originally published in 1966.
Structured towards gradual and steady progress rather than quick and fleeting results, each class is a unique sequence developed by our Iyengar certified teacher, to guide students through a safe and systematic progression.
