For those not enmeshed in the yoga world, a shared, and common, notion is that yoga is solely for those few calm, meditative individuals. While many yoga styles are actually based in a vigorous physical practice–queue images of yogis standing on their heads or wrapped in some complicated twisting position–many styles are meditative and calming, such as yin yoga.
It is no surprise, then, that yoga studios now offer classes that combine the experience of yoga with the use of marijuana. Two such classes are 420 Yoga in Los Angeles andGanja Yoga in San Francisco.
Ganja Yoga is offered at San Francisco’s Merchants of Reality collaborative work space. Here, students with valid medical marijuana cards are encouraged to bring marijuana to class. In contrast, those students taking the 420 Yoga class come in having already partaken.
