CLASS DETAILS
About the Class
Doors open at 6PM and close at 6:15PM. Ganja Yoga begins with a 20-min vape sesh circle. This is where you are invited to partake with Cannabis, meet new friends and prepare for the class. We then come together through a brief check-in circle and slowly step into movement. Class is catered to all levels of experience, you are welcome to pause at any moment and rest in child's pose or savasana. The class is set to an atmosphere of trippy music and soft lighting which invite the exploration of the deep psychedelic realms within. Each trip is unique!
Cannabis Use
Cannabis use is always optional in this class. If you're new to cannabis you might start off with CBD or a low THC option. Vaping, tinctures, topicals and edibles are all welcome. This is a 21+ BYOW (Bring your own Weed) event. Having said that, sharing among adults is legal.
