Cannabis and Yoga: The Mind-Body Connection Explained

Written By Morgan Sokol

Hi friends! 🌺💚

Yoga and cannabis? Yes, please. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just looking to unwind, adding cannabis to your practice can deepen your mind-body connection. Here's how.

Why Pair Yoga and Cannabis?

  • Increased focus: Sativa strains can boost mindfulness during flow.

  • Relaxed body: Indicas may help muscles release tension in restorative poses.

  • Enhanced breathwork: Cannabis may heighten breath awareness, a core part of yoga.

Tips for a Smooth Practice:

  • Start low: A low dose goes a long way. Microdosing is great here.

  • Time it right: Edibles need 60-90 mins. Inhalables take effect faster.

  • Set your space: Soft lighting, music, and an open mind are your best friends.

Great Pairings:

  • For Vinyasa Flow: Try a hybrid like Blue Dream.

  • For Restorative Yoga: Go for a relaxing Indica like Northern Lights.
