Vision
Thriving Through Menopause
We are here to support and empower women to embrace the profound transformation that menopause brings. Our vision is that, one day, you will look back on this time and say — this was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
By gifting yourself a five-day immersive retreat, you step away from daily distractions and step inward — into reflection, renewal, and reconnection. Our aim is that you leave not only feeling restored, but also excited about the changes unfolding within you — ready to return to your life with clarity, strength, and a renewed sense of purpose.
This retreat takes place at Dev Bhoomi, a luxurious eco-friendly sanctuary nestled in the lush green hills of Dharamshala. With sweeping views of the Kangra Valley and the majestic Dhauladhar ranges, the setting is serene and sacred. A rare river frontage invites you to meditate or bathe in stillness, while each private cottage with its own balcony offers space to relax, reflect, and be healed by the sounds of nature.
This retreat is lovingly co-created by Ayelet Shilgy and Supriya Thimmiah.
Ayelet is a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher with over 20 years of personal practice and more than a decade of teaching experience, with a special focus on women’s health and well-being. She has supported countless women through different life stages — from menstruation to menopause — using the therapeutic precision of Iyengar Yoga.
In this retreat, Ayelet will guide you through asana and pranayama practices designed to strengthen your body, stabilize your emotions, and support the hormonal and energetic shifts of menopause. Her approach is steady, compassionate, and deeply rooted in the belief that yoga can empower women to reconnect with their inner strength and vitality.
Supriya is a highly experienced mental health professional with over 30 years of practice in emotional well-being, self-development, and therapeutic transformation. She is a certified Trainer of Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Time Line Therapy™, with a deep passion for supporting women through transitions, especially the midlife and menopausal journey.
In this retreat, Supriya will offer gentle yet powerful tools to help you release limiting beliefs, shift long-held emotional patterns, and connect with your deeper self. Her work focuses on guiding women to trust their intuition, gain clarity about what they truly want, and step into this new phase of life with purpose and confidence.
Together, we are committed to giving you not only a deeply nourishing experience in the Himalayas, but also practical tools you can carry back into your everyday life — to thrive through menopause and beyond.
