So I spent a recent Sunday morning teaching yoga to my sister-in-law and some of her neighbors. And it made me think about Alfred Adler, as I often do, since I use many of his ideas in therapy. My sister in law uses an app called NextDoor and she used it to invite basically her entire community to come on over. Turns out there were a lot of people interested in front yard yoga and it sparked conversation about how to bring people together and what can be accomplished when neighbors know one another and spend time together. It's what Adler called "Gemeinschaftsgefuhl" which is German for "community feeling" or "social interest."
