But her eggs aren’t fertile, so I have been sliding my duck’s eggs under her. She’ll hatch and raise them like they were her own and after that, she'll continue to lay eggs that we eat for breakfast. You could consider activity in the same way, multipurpose. In my 20’s and 30’s, I would spend hours at the gym on the elliptical and lifting weights- mostly for my physique. My exercise regimen was purposeful- build muscle and burn calories. Now, my activity has purposes that serves the mind, body, and community in a permaculture way.

Yoga aligns my mind, body, and breath, getting me ready for a great day or releasing tension from work, and helps me connect with others.
