Deep Breath: Cannabis and Yoga
Cannabis and yoga have been enjoyed for centuries for their physical and mental benefits. When combined, these two practices can create a powerful and transformative experience.
For many, cannabis can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, increase blood flow, promote a sense of relaxation, improve flexibility, and reduce pain. Additionally, the mindfulness and relaxation that often accompanies cannabis use can help improve concentration as you breathe into your favorite asana.
Here are a few steps for a safe and enjoyable practice:
Choose the Right Strain: Different strains of cannabis can have different effects on the mind and body, so it’s important to choose one that will enhance your practice and setting. Look for strains that are known for their relaxing and uplifting effects, such as an indica or hybrid strains. Or, if your practice tends to be a bit more athletic, a sativa leaning hybrid might do the trick;).
Timing is Key: It’s important to choose the right time to consume before your practice. For best results, hit the herb about an hour before you hit the mat.
Start Slow: If you are new to cannabis, it’s important to start slow and increase your consumption gradually. Too much cannabis can lead to feelings of anxiety. Nobody wants that!
The Right Environment: Find a comfortable and safe place where you feel relaxed and at ease. This could be your home, the park or your local studio.
Focus on Breath: As with any yoga practice, it’s important to focus on your breath and the present moment. This will help you receive the most out of your experience. Maximize those benefits!
Incorporating cannabis into your yoga practice can be a powerful and transformative experience. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a beginner, taking the time to understand the benefit(s) and how to incorporate cannabis into your practice can help you get the most out of your session. Remember, start low and go slow.
