Yoga Retreats

 “Tuscany is a dream woven into reality, a journey back in time and forward into enchantment, where every moment feels like a timeless masterpiece.”

Join us in the picturesque rolling hills of Tuscany where a kaleidoscope of colors, landscapes, art and rich culture meet under the soft embrace of golden sunsets and a quieter, softer pace. 

The Italian concept of la dolce vita—literally “the sweet life”— is about finding beauty and pleasure in simple, everyday moments.  It's a mindset: slowing down and focusing on the things that truly matter. 

Amy Hagan, Mel Wegimont + Michele Maker lead a week living this sweet life, savoring mindful moments, connecting with your stunning surroundings, and nourishing YOURSELF through a harmonious symphony of the senses, in a setting with a one-of-a-kind natural, cultural and historical heritage that has fascinated visitors for centuries with its

breathtaking panoramas and pastoral countryside. Rich and surprising, Tuscany can enchant like few other places can.

Our retreat accommodations are Montemelino, an organic farm of about 60 hectares, located on the northern hills of Lake Trasimeno, around 300 meters above sea level, on a beautiful hill overlooking the lake.  Located on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, Montemelino is surrounded by spectacular landscapes and quiet villages, a few kilometers from Cortona, in the province of Perugia. It is the ideal place to relax and visit the characteristic villages.

The farm has been run since 1961 by Margret and Guido and now by Sabina, Margret’s daughter.  Guido’s creativity and style are everywhere in Montemelino and many of his murals make each house unique.  In addition to the production of quality wines and oil, 

the 17th century villas have been renovated and modernized, but still exude rustic charm and offer a glimpse into Italian history.   

The cottages are nestled into two hamlets on the property: Borgo Dante and Fonte Sant’Angelo, which have been transformed to welcome visitors in the green heart of Italy. The restoration of the old buildings has respected the local features, while offering modern comfort and a particular attention to eco-sustainability: the houses are powered by solar energy and a power station is available to guests. Two swimming pools are discreetly inserted between the olive trees of two hamlets.

Enjoy a variety of offerings on this rustic estate, from daily yoga + meditation in the countryside, to tours of local towns, cooking class, wine tastings, picnics on the hillside, and far niente:  the sweetness of doing nothing.

See, Hear, Breathe, Feel, and Heal, under the Tuscan sun, an invitation to slow way down as you discover a path to inner peace. 

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.
