LAKEFRONT TRADITIONAL SAUNA|TEMEZCAL
The temazcal, a traditional Mesoamerican sweat lodge, dates back centuries to ancient civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs. It was used for spiritual cleansing, physical healing, and communal rituals. Built with natural materials such as volcanic stones, adobe, or clay, and featuring a wood-heated stove, the temazcal creates a sacred, womb-like space for renewal.
Steam is produced by pouring water infused with eucalyptus over heated stones, purifying both body and spirit. With direct access to Lake Atitlán for a refreshing plunge afterward, the temazcal offers a holistic connection to nature and ancient traditions.
C O L D P L U N G E
Experience rejuvenation like never before with our unique service: a cold plunge in an elegant, old cast-iron bathtub gracefully perched on a dock. Filled with ice cubes, this meditative retreat lets you introspect and breathe deeply, all while gazing over the serene waters of Atitlán. Sink into this cold bath, let the chill embrace you, and find tranquility as you float above the lake’s surface.

Immerse yourself in a rejuvenating yoga experience at Anzan Atitlan, where we offer private classes in uniquely tranquil environments. Choose from a variety of serene locations on our property, each offering a distinct connection with nature:
Rooftop Terrace Yoga: Ascend to our rooftop terrace and surround yourself with breathtaking panoramic views. Under the open sky, you can practice yoga while overlooking the majestic lake and distant volcanoes. The elevated perspective adds an element of upliftment to your session, enhancing the sense of freedom and expansiveness.
Dock Over the Water Yoga: Experience the gentle ebb and flow of energy as you practice yoga on our dock, extending over the serene waters. The gentle lapping of the waves against the pier harmonizes with your breath, creating a profoundly calming effect. This setting is perfect for those seeking a deep connection with the water element, offering a sense of fluidity and peace in each pose.
Garden Yoga: Nestle within the embrace of nature in one of our garden spaces. Surrounded by lush greenery and the subtle sounds of nature, your yoga session becomes an intimate encounter with the earth. The natural setting helps ground your practice, fostering a sense of stability and connectedness to the environment.
Each location offers a unique way to enhance your yoga practice by aligning it with the elements of nature. Whether you seek the expansive airiness of the rooftop, the rhythmic flow of the dock, or the earthy embrace of the garden, our private yoga sessions are tailored to provide a serene and personal experience, helping you deepen your practice in harmony with the natural beauty of Anzan Atitlan.
SOUND BATH
A sound bath healing session is a transformative experience where carefully curated frequencies of soothing sounds harmonize and balance your energies. As you recline in a serene setting, the practitioner uses various instruments to create a therapeutic symphony that resonates with your chakras and energy centers.
These vibrations penetrate your being, releasing tension, promoting relaxation, and restoring equilibrium. It’s like a conductor guiding an orchestra of healing frequencies, encouraging your body and mind to let go of stagnation and emotional blockages.
During the session, you may feel a profound connection to your inner self and the universal energies around you. As it concludes, you emerge feeling revitalized, re-energized, and in inner harmony, ready to face the world with balance and clarity.
NAHUAL READING
A Nahual reading is a traditional interpretation of your birth chart based on Mayan cosmology. In this reading, a skilled practitioner examines the positions and interactions of the celestial bodies at the time of your birth, aligning them with the Mayan calendar and the sacred symbols known as “Nahuales.”
Each Nahual represents a unique energy or archetype, much like astrological signs in Western astrology. By analyzing the Nahuals associated with your birth date, a Nahual reader can provide insights into your personality, life path, and potential challenges and opportunities.
Similar to other forms of birth chart analysis, a Nahual reading offers a holistic view of your life’s journey, helping you understand your strengths, weaknesses, and the cosmic forces that may influence your path. It’s a fascinating way to explore your spiritual and personal growth within the context of Mayan traditions and cosmology.
Both fire and cacao ceremonies are integral to traditional Mayan rituals and hold significant spiritual and cultural importance.
FIRE|CACAO CEREMONY
Fire Ceremony: The Mayans have a deep reverence for fire, considering it a sacred element that connects the physical and spiritual realms. A Mayan fire ceremony carefully arranges wood and other offerings into a holy fire pit. As the fire burns, a shaman or spiritual guide may lead participants in prayers, chants, and rituals, invoking the power of the fire to purify, transform, and connect with the divine. Fire ceremonies are often performed during critical life transitions, celebrations, or to seek guidance and healing.
Cacao Ceremony: Cacao, in its pure form, has been used by the Mayans for centuries as a beverage and sacrament. In a Mayan cacao ceremony, a special cacao drink made from raw cacao beans is prepared and shared among participants. This ritual fosters a deep connection with the spirit of cacao and is often accompanied by meditation, chanting, and music. Cacao ceremonies are believed to open the heart and facilitate inner exploration, spiritual growth, and healing. They are conducted to enhance well-being, self-awareness, and a sense of unity with the cosmos.
Both fire and cacao ceremonies offer a unique and profound way to connect with Mayan spirituality, honor tradition, and seek guidance or healing. Participants often experience a deep sense of reverence and transformation during these rituals, making them valuable practices for those interested in Mayan culture and spirituality.
