AMI Yoga and Climbing Retreat
Do you enjoy the peacefulness of being outdoors? Do you envision a deeper experience for your outdoor adventures? AMI now offers climbing or hiking, half or full days, accompanied by yoga instruction. These trips are tailored for what the client is looking for, whether that is healthy stretching before and after a climb to accentuate the activity, or a strengthening yoga practice on top of a beautiful mountaintop, or anything in between. AMI is interested in offering a relaxing, deepening, fun twist to your outdoor experience.
Jenny Wallace is a certified SPI with AMGA and a RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) with the Yoga Alliance. She has been practicing yoga for 15 years in and outdoors. Her love of the practice has come outside to her climbing, biking and other outdoor activities. Jenny believes in a down-to-earth approach to blending yoga with these intense outdoor activities, so that the outside experience is enhanced enough to take home. She facilitates the practice to suit the people who wish to deepen their outside experience.
The women’s retreat was a life-changing experience for me, to be with supportive, strong women and face the challenge of rock climbing and succeed as well as the meditation and yoga and exercises we did to fully empower ourselves. The quality and intimacy of the program and the skilled leaders made this program exceptional as well as the beautiful scenery of the mountains and our lodge. I came back refreshed and inspired to pursue more of my life goals and to view challenges in a different, more positive way.

There will be a variety of activities to keep you engaged and exploring your habits and your own inner strength during the day. AMI offers an opportunity for you to explore and redefine yourself:
- What holds you back?
- What motivates you to move forward?
- What are your fears and desires?
- How do you ignite your inner strength?
Explore all these possibilities with invigorating hikes along tranquil trails. Hiking is a great form of exercise that gently strengthens your body and at the same time, allowing you to experience nature.
Activities
Climbing
On the AMI Women’s Retreat you will challenge yourself with rock climbing to experience personal growth and the wonder of nature from a new and exciting perspective. Never climbed before? No problem! Climbing will be for all levels. Our focus is on your personal experience and the climbing will be tailored to each person’s needs and abilities. All the climbing setups will be conducted by AMGA certified instructors to help and assist with your experience. Our retreat participants support each other in a way you can only imagine. Pushing your limits on the ropes will allow you to equally tap into vulnerability and strength like you’ve never felt before.
I was a first time rock climber and Jenny, from AMI, was an amazing guide. I felt totally at ease under her guidance and care. I was able to push myself further than I had thought given her gentle assurances and support.
