Ganja Yin Yoga

Wake up and begin your Sunday with a sweet, intentional, and awakening self-care cannabis-infused yin practice. Our bodies are sacred vessels that allow us to engage in this physical world. When our physical selves are healthy and relaxed we are more able to be fully present with others. Gifting ourselves space and time to relax, process, and rejuvenate is essential to our overall wellbeing. Turn down the external world and have a conversation with your body, the tangible reflection of emotions and thoughts. Learn to listen to sensations and let your body and breath guide you deeper into your asana practice. Infused intentionally with Cannabis, we journey even deeper into the within.

About Class

Ganja Yin Yoga
Sunday Mornings on Zoom
10:30-11:45am Mountain

Cannabis invitation

Cannabis is totally optional. You do not need to actually consume cannabis during this class. You do need to be in a legal location and 21+ years of age to consume cannabis.

We do not sell or provide cannabis for this class. It is up to you to procure your medicine through legal channels.

Cannabis has a variety of effects on our species and different strains affect us each differently. This is a gentle yin-styled class and the intent is to relax, stretch out our muscles, connective tissues, and fascia and help us get deeper into connection with ourselves. If you choose to partake, choose your favorite strain to enhance this experience! There will be an opening chakra meditation to tune into our energetic bodies through which you are invited to partake in cannabis as you are inspired.

Partaking in Cannabis

• Energetically: Draw into your practice the essence of cannabis, your relationship with this plant, and your intention in inviting this medicine into your practice. It could be connecting deeper with the breath, drawing in more relaxation, learning how to breathe in the space of discomfort, learning how to listen more to yourself, or honoring however cannabis shows up for you.
• CBD: This is a non-psychoactive, healing aspect of cannabis that is phenomenal for our physical bodies. It’s great for reducing pain and inflammation in the body.
• THC: If the mind tends toward chatter, certain THC strains can support you in quieting the mind and tapping into deeper aspects of yourself.

Class Rhythm

Opening Meditation

We begin class with a guided chakra meditation to open up our energy centers and tune into their resonance. This creates an intentional space in which to invite in cannabis (again, this can be energetically or actually partaking). If there is a specific chakra you are working with, consider drawing in cannabis to help open that space and tune deeper into the work. How much you consume is completely up to you and you are welcome to imbibe at any point in time. The meditation is designed to awaken our energy centers, to encourage them to flow freely, as we invite movement into our body. I recommend sitting on a cushion or blanket during this opening meditation.

Yin-Styled Class

This is a slow, gentle class that encourages the release of tension and resistance in our muscles, yes, but also in our connective tissues and our fascia. We spend some time in various postures, leaning into any discomfort that arises, connecting with a deeper breath, and shifting our experience of tightness/constriction into a lighter feeling of spaciousness. There are minimal (if any) standing postures in this relaxation-based, all levels class.

Closing

After a short Savasana, we close class with a short breathwork practice to tune into the power of our Prana. Mindful breathing stimulates our parasympathetic, letting our body know it’s safe to relax. We close class with an “Om” … which you can chant out loud, hum, or say silently to yourself.
