<\/a><\/p>\nPermaculture, a holistic approach to landscape design and human culture,\u00a0is the use of ecology as the core for designing integrated Eco-friendly\u00a0systems of food production, housing appropriate technology and community development.\u00a0Permaculture promotes diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems.\u00a0\u00a0This practice inspires us to mimic the patterns and relationships we can find in nature. The lessons and insights we get from\u00a0Permaculture can be applied to all aspects of human habitation. The philosophy behind Permaculture is one of working with, rather than against nature. Adopting and following permaculture principles and ethics in your daily life is a great practice but to get benefited, you need to avoid common mistakes. What why we always recommend that you attend a\u00a0Permaculture course before embracing this holistic life approach.<\/p>\n
On the other hand,\u00a0Yoga takes you close to your true nature and helps you and your body to harmonize with nature. In\u00a0Permaculture nature takes over and shows us the way. The way of moving in the rhythm of heaven and earth we gain a better understanding of the workings of the universe.\u00a0If we can compare our life to nature we can have a better understanding of ourselves and our spirits.<\/p>\n
Now the question is can we blend these two?\u00a0Permaculture and Yoga? That’s what\u00a0Rancho Delicioso exactly done for you!<\/p>\n

<\/a> Where in Costa Rica?<\/strong><\/h3>\nRancho Delicioso is located on the Southern Nicoya Peninsula, about half way between Santa Teresa<\/strong> and Montezuma<\/strong>, two very cute and popular beach towns. It’s only 10-15 minutes to each and the students even walk to Montezuma in around 90 minutes (taxi or hitchhiking is also common.) These two towns are known as the most beautiful in Costa Rica, and are still unspoiled and relatively undeveloped. They have white sand beaches, excellent snorkeling, and are especially known for their great surfing year-round in 80+ degree water. Many people choose yoga treats in this part of Costa Rica just because of the area, which is relatively dry, yet still lush most of the year. Read more about the area here: Montezumabeach.com<\/a><\/p>\nAerial Silk Basics<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor practicing Aerial yoga, the practitioner needs to climb up 20 to 50 feet high above from the ground with a suspended fabric and by using the fabric, he or she needs to make several body movements like swinging and wrapping and while making these movements, they also need to control their body. By joining this workshop, you can learn how to make body movement with controlled breathing and it will help preventing muscle tension.\u00a0Aerial silks, also known as aerial ribbons, aerial fabrics, aerial tissue or aerial curtains is one of the most tough and challenging but very beneficial and versatile aerial art forms.<\/p>\n
Intro to Massage<\/strong><\/h3>\nThai yoga massage, also simply called Thai massage, is a 2,500-year-old Ayurvedic-based body science. During your stay at Rancho Delicioso you will have a firsthand experience in both giving and receiving a Thai Yoga Massage.<\/p>\n
