International Video Team

Kieran Shannon

Kieran was born and raised in the small coastal town of Girvan, Scotland. Trained as a contemporary dancer, he toured all over the world, performing with several companies including Jasmin Vardimon Dance Company and 2Faced Dance Company. In 2018, he met Silke Muys whilst working as a dancer in Spain and together, in May of 2019, they decided to step back from their dance careers and travel the world. Along the way, they played music and worked as photographers and videographers to help fund their travels. They discovered Ayurooms while travelling India and looking for panchakarma treatment in Kerala. That's when they met Aly, the founder of Ayurooms, who arranged their panchakarma at an affordable rate. After experiencing the magic of Ayurveda, Silke and Kieran joined hands with Ayurooms to film several Ayurveda resorts in Kerala.

Silke Muys

Originally from Ghent, Belgium, Silke left home at the age of 19 and moved to Mexico to study dance, an experience that ignited a spark to travel and discover new cultures. Alongside dance, she has a huge passion for photography, videography, yoga and music. Until age 28, she worked as a contemporary dancer. Then, in 2019, she dropped everything and decided to travel the world with her partner, Kieran Shannon. Along the way, they played music and made photos and videos to fund their travels. After undergoing a rigorous 21-day panchakarma arranged by Ayurooms, Silke and Kieran went on to tour and film several Ayurooms resorts in Kerala. While the pandemic has placed a temporary hold on their travel plans, Silke and Kieran plan to return to India in late 2021 to continue filming India's best wellness resorts, under the aegis of Ayurooms.
