Indopedia All Things Marijuana
Getting stoned before flipping into downward facing dog isn’t a groundbreaking concept for yogis who like to toke. In India, the birthplace of yoga, the sacred cannabis plant was celebrated as an integral part of culture for thousands of years. The founder of yoga himself, Shiva, is closely associated with cannabis and was partial to the herb. Now that marijuana is legal for recreational use in a handful of states, the yoga community is responding with “stoner yoga” classes and retreats designed to enhance your practice and deepen the mind-body connection.
If your ideal vacation includes flowing through vinyasa in a pretty place with access to healthful food, munchies, and lots of weed, a cannabis yoga retreat might be right up your alley. Here are four ultra-relaxing smoke and stretch vacations that will melt your stress away.
