About this trip
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.
Meet Your Hosts
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.
Michele Maker is a graduate of the Pranotthan Yoga School and is certified in Restorative Yoga, Reiki, and Transcendental Meditation. She is also the Co-Director of All That Matters Yoga + Wellness. Throughout her journey Michele leans into her diverse experience in the arts and entertainment world; leading the marketing and promotions division for a radio and media group in Providence, overseeing a waterfront venue in Newport RI producing concerts and cultural festivals, an international boat show, and an outdoor skating rink. Over the past ten years, she has embarked on entrepreneurship and small business, creating an event production company, and expanding her portfolio to ownership of a contemporary art gallery in Newport, representing artists from all over the world, and most recently launching s’OM, the boutique alongside ATMY+W. An avid yogi for over 30 years, Michele found her home years within the All That Matters community.
A seeker and explorer by nature, Michele enjoys finding innovative ways to share yoga and revolutionary healing through community, connection, and joyful experiences. In her classes, she fuses vivid imagery, creativity, expansive breath practice, and a whimsical, playful flow, guiding her students on a journey of joy, presence, and empowerment. Michele credits yoga and mindfulness practices as her anchor during the most pivotal times personally and professionally and is committed to cultivating ATMY+W as a sacred space for healing and reflection. She believes she is truly living her dharma at ATMY+W as a community builder, creating and holding space by curating a welcoming sanctuary for all through mind-body-spirit connection.
