Metaphysika Yoga
Metaphysika Yoga is a cannabis-infused slow-paced style of yoga that focuses on holding passive stretches for extended periods. Metaphysika Yoga combines Chakra Balancing and Yin Yoga with the sacred cannabis plant and ambient transcendental sound therapy. This unique blend, offered in a serene setting, allows for a profound and transformative spiritual experience.
Unlike Yang styles like Vinyasa or Ashtanga, which are dynamic and energizing, Metaphysika Yoga is gentle, meditative, and restorative.
​All forms of yoga share a common objective: bringing harmony to the mind, body, and spirit. This alignment and sense of mindfulness make yoga a natural partner for cannabis use. The euphoric effects of cannabis can enhance the spiritual and meditative aspects of yoga, creating a very unique synergy. The benefits of combining Yoga with cannabis include:​
-
Heightened Awareness: Both yoga and cannabis interact with the endocannabinoid system, which maintains homeostasis and overall balance in the body’s various processes and central nervous system. This interaction enhances sensory awareness and provides a deeper connection to one's inner self and this heightened awareness can lead to a more profound and insightful yoga practice.
-
Pain Relief: For individuals seeking relief from physical discomfort during their yoga practice, cannabis can be a valuable ally. THC and certain cannabinoids in cannabis possess analgesic properties that research has shown to be as effective as many prescription painkillers, with fewer side effects.
-
Anxiety Reduction: For those dealing with anxiety or racing thoughts, incorporating cannabis into their yoga routine can offer a sense of calm and focus. The altered state of consciousness induced by cannabis can allow the mind to relax and concentrate on breathing and postures, free from self-consciousness or life stressors.
-
Medical Benefits: Some individuals, such as those undergoing cancer treatments, may find that cannabis helps them manage pain and discomfort.
​
Cannabis has been used in conjunction with yoga practices for thousands of years, dating back to ancient India where both practices are deeply rooted in Hindu traditions and are often seen as complementary. Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical system, recognizes cannabis as one of five sacred plants and due to its perceived ability to affect higher states of consciousness, it was venerated among ancient sages and often credited for their spiritual advancements.

By approaching this practice with mindfulness and respect, you can unlock the full potential of this harmonious and sacred union. Individual experiences may vary, so it's essential to listen to your body and adjust your practice accordingly.
Yoga with Cannabis Is A Pathway to Harmony
and Self-Realization
Yoga is an ancient practice that combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to achieve a state of well-being. It's more than just exercise: it's a holistic approach to health that aims to bring harmony between the mind, body, and spirit.
The word "Yoga" comes from the Sanskrit root "Yuj," which means "to join" or "to unite." This reflects the core principle of Yoga: to unite the individual consciousness with the universal consciousness.
Modern science (quantum physics) supports this idea, suggesting that everything in the universe is interconnected. When we experience this oneness, we are said to be in a state of Yoga.​
​
The ultimate goal of Yoga is to attain self-realization or enlightenment. It's a journey towards inner peace, harmony, and liberation from suffering. While physical and mental health are significant benefits, yoga in conjunction with cannabis can offer a much deeper spiritual dimension.
