Cannabis yoga and the downward dog
Grab your disposable vape pen, pick up your yoga mat and lets head to the yoga class. Yoga and cannabis classes are popping up all over Canada. If you are a beginner at yoga, I don’t suggest your first class be combined with cannabis. Most of the participants are a seasoned yogi and are looking to deepen their connection with mind body and soul. They are not there to exercise and get high it goes deeper than that. Cannabis and yoga make a good match. They both inspire meditation, awareness, and peace. There are different strains of cannabis for different types of yoga. Your best choice of cannabis for yoga is a strain that has a high level of CBD. This will not be a mind racing psychoactive feeling instead you will experience a calming effect.
