About this trip
Retreat to Wonder + Awe... “The awe-inspiring landscapes of Arizona are a testament to the enduring power and beauty of nature.” – Ansel Adams
Join us in the mystical majesty of Sedona, Arizona for a wellness retreat that transcends the norm. This sacred land is where mountains meet mesas bursting with nature’s palette of vivid colors, sprawling valleys, azure skies + endless sunshine.
Amy Hagan and Mel Wegimont lead a week of relaxation, rejuvenation, and reconnection with nature and YOURSELF with daily yoga and meditation, guided hikes through the majestic red rock formations, and vortex sites, as you truly unwind in the wonders of a natural environment.
Our retreat accommodations are at Briar Patch Inn, a secluded nature-based oasis nestled among Arizona’s red rock formations, featuring lush forests, cascading waterfalls, and the peaceful sounds of Oak Creek Canyon. The serene ambiance and picturesque landscapes are perfect for a mindful journey of self-discovery as you nurture your relationship with nature.
Sedona boasts incredible awe-inspiring views and panoramic vistas that have a profound calming effect, offering disconnection and a reset for the senses and soul. In addition to our scheduled daily activities, Sedona abounds with optional adventures and excursions for outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs, and spiritual seekers. Everything from jeep and sightseeing trolly tours to horseback riding, kayaking, hot air balloon rides, and aerial tours offers visitors a chance to see and learn about the area.
ATMY+W retreats offer an opportunity to connect on a deeper level, beyond the studio, cultivating a community of support, or Sangha. Our curated retreats are soulful journeys for the body, mind + spirit inspiring transformation, renewal, joy, connection, and moments that matter.
See, Hear, Breathe, Feel, and Heal, as the stunning Sedona surroundings invite you on a path to inner peace.

Meet Your Teachers
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.
Mel Gorman Wegimont has been teaching transformative yoga classes for 12 years. She completed her 200-hour teacher training with Cathy Cesario of Spirit Tree Yoga and her 500-hour Prana Flow® teacher training with Coral Brown. She is trained in Restorative Yoga through Jillian Pransky, is a certified Reiki Master and a co-teacher in the Pranotthan 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. Mel’s journey with yoga has led her to study in Rishikesh, India and beyond.
She regularly leads local workshops and trainings as well as yoga retreats around the world.
Mel became a student of yoga and the healing arts in 1999, when a friend brought her – one week after a breast-cancer diagnosis – to Kendall Sheldon's yoga class. In that first class Mel discovered the healing power of yoga, and today she is not only radiantly healthy but also joyfully sharing the healing benefits of yoga with students and mentoring others coping with cancer. Her practice and teaching are informed by study with numerous teachers, and her classroom setting is one of safe and sacred space where her students encounter a mixture of levity, reverence, and honesty as Mel guides them to their own experience of yoga. She encourages students to take their yoga – this practice of finding what they need in body, spirit, and heart – off their mats and into their lives.
