Welcome the Autumn Equinox, bask in the afterglow of the Harvest Moon, and listen to the whispers of nature in the Green Mountains of Vermont! 

Join Amy Hagan and Michele Maker Thursday evening through Sunday morning for a weekend of yoga, meditation, guided hikes, healing art therapy, and forest bathing.   Connect with nature, and yourself, during this soulful retreat in the magical green mountain landscape of Vermont.  We’ll stay at the Battenkill Valley Mansion at the Wilburton Inn, a family-owned and operated estate nestled on 5 wooded acres in Manchester, Vermont.  Our accommodations are a unique and meticulously restored New England mansion that will have you feeling a world away as you enjoy a long weekend experience with opportunities to disconnect, reset, and create space to find joy in the simple moments that matter.

ATMY+W retreats offer an opportunity to connect on a deeper level, beyond the studio, cultivating a community of support, or Sangha.  In addition to morning yoga and a slower gentle evening flow each day, we’ll share some eco-therapy, savoring the wonder of the fall season with autumn's golden array of foliage on full display.  Offerings will include movement, stillness, and some creative “goddess” rituals to engage your senses and honor Mother Earth.  

See, Hear, Breathe, Feel, and Heal, as your surroundings welcome you on a path to inner peace.

This retreat is only a 4-hour drive from South County.  Travel with ease at your pace, and slow down as you transition into the fall season. 

Amy Hagan has been teaching yoga since 2003 and loving every minute of it! She draws most of her teaching style from the Kripalu School of yoga. Originally trained to teach at the Yoga Center of Amherst with Patty Townsend, Amy has also completed Yin Yoga and Meditation Teacher Training with Jenn Thomas and Dr. Tracey Meyers, advanced Chakra Yoga with Todd Norian and Anodea Judith, and is also certified in Reiki.  Since discovering her passion for yoga she has made lots of new friends and had many enlightening adventures including a pilgrimage to Rishikesh, India. In addition to her classes, Amy teaches All That Matters' Yoga 101 program in South Kingstown, RI and enjoys turning new people onto yoga.

Amy’s classes flow at a moderate pace to build strength, become more grounded, and access the breath more fully. Options are always offered to encourage students to respect their own limits or go deeper. In her classes expect to laugh, connect with your yoga community, and have fun while also connecting with a deep sense of self. Amy previously owned a yoga studio in East Greenwich, RI called the Yoga Annex, she is a dog walker who hikes her packs throughout the many woods and trails of RI., and she also does voice-over work and TV commercials for local businesses.
