There are several examples of a
yurt; one being the Mangolian
yurt. For several centuries the
yurt was used as a strategic means to give shelter to the nomad peoples. Now the
yurt is often used for camping purposes, disaster relief shelter, yoga retreats, eco friendly housing, portable housing, and sometimes extravagant backyard houses. The
yurt has been re-invented and revolutionized. The
yurt is now used to lead an eco-friendly way of living life and to help eliminate our carbon footprint.
