Meet the hosts

This retreat is born from partnership from Soul Peak Studio and Snowfox Travel: yoga and mindfulness woven with Arctic exploration. One invites you inward, the other outward — together offering balance, connection, and awe.

We invite you to step into this space with us, where the high Arctic becomes both your teacher and your sanctuary.


  • Founder

    Ahyeong is a gentle guide, steady presence, and forever a student. Before teaching yoga, she worked in human rights and international development, learning the importance of holding space for others while staying rooted in herself. Yoga became her home—a way to listen inward, soften, and connect with her own steadiness. As a teacher, she holds space with care, helping you feel grounded in your body, your breath, and yourself, even amidst the vastness of the Arctic landscape. 🤍

    Jill fell in love with Svalbard 13 years ago and followed her dream, moving here with her family and their Patagonian street dog. She delights in photography and fully immersing herself in the island’s wild landscapes. The stillness, icy fjords, and endless horizons still give her goosebumps every time she steps outside. Jill’s joy is in noticing the subtle rhythms of the Arctic—its light, silence, and space—and sharing that wonder with those around her. 🩵
