About your hosts
Wendy Moran
Yoga Teacher & Retreat Leader
Founder of Amity Yoga Wellness, Wendy offers mindful, heart-centred yoga experiences for all levels. Her teaching blends traditional Hatha yoga, pranayama, and restorative practices that balance energy and promote deep relaxation.
Max is a qualified Mountain Leader with Freedom Outdoors and Mountain Rescue volunteer who lives and works in North Wales, with a deep love for the landscapes of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.
She brings a calm, supportive approach to guiding, creating a safe and enjoyable experience for all abilities. Max loves to see clients thrive and grow in confidence in the outdoors, believing that it’s not reaching the top that’s important, but how you get there that truly matters. Her walks are as much about slowing down and connecting with the landscape as they are about reaching a destination.
Max champions the idea that the outdoors is for everyone — whatever that means for you — whether it’s finding a peaceful place to sit and listen to the birds or reaching the summit of a mountain.
Having been born with an upper limb difference, she understands the importance of inclusivity and representation in the outdoors, and is proud to represent women and disability in this space.
Alongside her guiding work, Max is a freelance copywriter and editor of a magazine for the charity Reach, supporting people with upper limb differences, where she also volunteers as a mentor for children.
Take time for yourself in the stunning mountains of Snowdonia, Eryri.

“Having been on other yoga and walking retreats, I can honestly say this has been the best. Wendy was knowledgeable, fun, thoughtful and kind throughout the weekend. The yoga sessions were excellent and Wendy was clear with instructions and advice.
The mountain leader was great and I felt very reassured throughout the walk. The accommodation was good, the food was truly superb. I would definitely book again in the future. Thank you Wendy, I had a wonderful weekend.

What people said – Testimonials
“A truly wonderful retreat, an experience that was made so special with the yoga. Wendy was so sympathetic to everyone’s needs. I loved the mix of breathing, stretching and meditation. It lifted the healing energy. You have gone above and beyond. Definitely, 5 stars to your holistic approach”
Kate W
” Good food, a comfortable room and great company are key for my ideal yoga retreat, and Wendy’s Snowdonia Eryri Yoga & Walking Retreat 2025 ticked all the boxes! The combination with the mountain walk was great for mindfulness. This was my second time attending Wendy’s retreat weekend, following last year’s Nab Cottage retreat in the Lake District during a beautiful early autumn.
This time, the early spring season surrounded by the spectacular Snowdonia mountains was incredibly refreshing. These locations are fantastic for Wendy’s yoga and meditation. Her attentive approach to every step of our practice always gives me comfort and strength, helping me release tension from busy working days. The outdoor yoga and meditation were extra special, especially with the unbelievably beautiful weather – it felt like a dream!
The mountain walk, was great fun – challenging but very satisfying. I appreciate both of you for your warm and positive guidance through the retreat. It was also so nice to meet lovely yoga friends, with lots of inspiring stories, laughter and singing!
The venue at Snowdonia Mountain Lodge was so peaceful, and it was wonderful to see such a great community. Big thanks for the delicious meals and warm hospitality! After the retreat, my mind and body felt so refreshed and calm. The memory of the retreat will make me smile for a long time! Thank you both for creating such a special experience.
I hope to join another retreat again soon!

“Just back from the most wonderful and relaxing weekend with Wendy. She has a really great way of teaching yoga. Her voice and style are so soothing. She is really supportive of everyone in class. I learnt a lot. The group was great company and we made some lovely memories.
If you are looking for a retreat with like minded souls and to return home energised yet relaxed, then book one of Amity Yoga retreats. Highly recommended.” Alice – Yoga & Walking Retreat
“A Wonderful experience with great company. Wendy is a very knowledgeable and attentive Yoga Instructor. This was my first retreat and I was feeling a little apprehensive. I didn’t need to worry, Wendy is so amiable I warmed to her instantly. She not only helped me to improve my technique with positions & breathing, she explained the importance. Her shared knowledge will last me a life time and her calming voice was a treat for Yoga Nidra.
We had the most spectacular walk. The scenery was outstanding and we were looked after every step of the way. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.”
Michele – Snowdonia Eryri Retreat
“Thank you very much for what was a wonderful yoga, meditation and walking retreat. The location was stunning, it was so good for the soul being surrounded by the amazing landscape that Snowdonia National Park offers. I had an amazing view from my bedroom window!
The Yoga and Meditation guidance and teaching was just perfect for me. Wendy has a lovely style that is both supportive and motivating. Her soothing voice during meditation takes you to a calm peaceful place. I have returned relaxed and inspired to be more consistent with both my yoga and meditation practice.”
