Guests can enjoy relaxing on the terraces in the beautiful gardens or sunbathe by the gorgeous free form swimming pool surrounded by palm trees.

Atzaro is an oasis of rest and tranquillity where the aromas of orange blossom, rosemary and lavender mix to indulge your senses. From 9 - 14th of October, yoga teacher, Jane Kersel will lead 2 practices a day. The morning one will be based on detoxifying practices with fluid movement linked with the breath and core strengthening energetics. The late afternoon practice will be more yin in style (passive) with a greater emphasis on re-wiring the nervous system and stilling the mind so that space develops within which to see/hear clearly what is perhaps blocking our paths and creating resistance in us so that we can move forward with an abundant heart and mind.

Jane Kersel brings together the ancient art and discipline of yoga with the modern day techniques of: neurology, hypnotherapy and psychological/spiritual (psycho-spiritual) practices.
Her techniques help de-stress and shed blockages in the mind, heart and physical body and create abundant, creative, fulfilling lives.
