I am sure you have you heard about permaculture, but do you really know what it is? It's a whole philosophy, all about working with nature, not against it. Think of it as the ultimate collaboration between humans and Mother Earth. By mimicking natural ecosystems, we can create sustainable and regenerative systems that benefit both the environment and ourselves. It can be applied to all aspects of your existence.
Yoga has a way to bring people together. There is something very special when sharing yoga together in a group of people. Even though an individual practice on separate mats, the energy shared in the room is something unique.
