Why Yogis Love Cannabis
After a good yoga class you feel naturally stoned. This is how many yogis express their mood at the end of a session. But some yogis take it to a higher level: these are 3 trends in the field of cannabis and yoga.
3 cannabis trends among yogis:
WEED YOGA IN LA
Now that weed in California is not only for medical purposes but also for recreational use, it couldln’t take long for weed yoga to enter the stage. At Lit Yoga, the only cannabis yoga studio in Los Angeles, the class begins with a weed ceremony, in which students drink herbal tea together and light a joint. For those who do not want to smoke, there is cannabis in a vaporizer, in edible form or as a tea. Then you do a series of yoga poses on live music – after which you experience the poses from a completely different dimension… You could, of course, ask yourself whether taking a lesson stoned really fits within traditional yoga philosophy, but it surely sounds like a mind expanding experience.
MEDITATE IN HEMP
After a period of silence (due to the ban on hemp in the US), hemp has returned: in clothing. When cotton was not so popular, hemp was a common material for producing textiles, rope and canvas. After all, it is extremely strong, grows fast and requires few pesticides. The production also requires little use of water, unlike cotton. Many producers now realize that hemp is very eco-minded. That is why you come across more and more yoga clothing in this fabric.
CBD FOR RELAXATION
The substance cannabidiol in the cannabis plant is popular with many yogis for how it makes them feel. CBD does not make you high or stoned - it is THC in cannabis that provides the psychoactive effect. Many people use CBD as part of a relaxation routine, alongside things like yoga itself, though it isn't a treatment for anxiety, insomnia, or any other condition, and this isn't medical advice.
Next to CBD oil, there is also water-soluble CBD, which some prefer because water absorbs it more readily than oil does. Like CBD oil, it only contains natural ingredients.
If you want to explore whether CBD fits into your own routine, start with a small amount and see how it feels for you - and if you have a specific health concern, talk to a doctor first rather than self-treating.
