In a truly “of freaking course we are” moment, San Francisco is getting its first pot-fueled yoga class.
Ganja Yoga is a “cannabis enhanced” class where participants (the ones with the medical cannibis cards) are encouraged to get high before working out. CBS Local reports that instructor Dee Dussault is certified in Hatha Yoga and says that she hopes this class will allow yogis to “enjoy trippy relaxation, pain-relief, sensuality, and the cultivation of inner peace.”
In another “well durr” moment, classes like this one have already popped up in places like Los Angeles and Colorado.
Some yoga blogs speculate that adding weed into the mix will be a good way to release inhibitions and fully relax the body and mind. They also suggest that hemp plant increases one’s connection with the god Shiva. I have done yoga while high several times — if by “yoga” you mean “trying to lift a bag of hot Cheetos with my toe so I don’t upset the laptop playing Blue Planet on my stomach.”
This course takes place on Wednesday nights from 7:15–8:45 p.m. and costs $15, although there are usually two “pay what you can” slots available. Ganja Yoga will join the pantheon of other offbeat yoga classes such as painted yoga, naked yoga, and yoga where you’re tied up in ropes.
Namaste.
