Enhancing Your Yoga Practice with Microdosing Cannabis: The Magic of Low THC and High CBD, CBG, CBN Blends
If you've been keeping up with the latest trends in health and wellness, you've likely heard about the growing interest in combining cannabis with yoga. This intersection of ancient practices and modern understanding of plant-based wellness is more than just a fad—it's a lifestyle choice that's helping many enhance their physical and mental wellbeing.
Here at Cannakula, we curate unique yoga events that allow our community to explore these synergies. One of our most popular offerings is our microdosed CannaYoga sessions. In this blog, we will delve into the specifics of microdosing cannabis in a yoga practice and discuss why low THC and higher ratio blends of other cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, and CBN are so crucial.
What is Microdosing Cannabis in a Yoga Practice?
Microdosing refers to the practice of consuming small, measured amounts of cannabis in order to reap its therapeutic benefits without experiencing a strong psychoactive effect. When applied to a yoga practice, microdosing can help deepen relaxation, increase focus, and improve body awareness.
The Importance of Low THC
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the most well-known cannabinoid and is responsible for the 'high' associated with cannabis. While it can offer numerous benefits, including pain relief and anxiety reduction, high levels of THC can also cause feelings of euphoria, altered perception, and even anxiety or paranoia for some.
That's where microdosing and low THC blends come into play. By using strains of cannabis that have lower levels of THC, you're less likely to experience intense psychoactive effects. Instead, the milder psychoactive impact of low-THC cannabis can help to deepen the meditative and introspective aspects of yoga practice, promoting a sense of calm and mindfulness.
The Power of CBD, CBG, and CBN
When we talk about cannabis, it's not all about THC. Other cannabinoids, such as CBD (cannabidiol), CBG (cannabigerol), and CBN (cannabinol), also play a significant role in the overall experience.
CBD is known for its non-psychoactive, anti-inflammatory, and anxiety-reducing properties. It’s a perfect companion for yoga, helping to reduce any discomfort during practice and promote a relaxed state of mind.
CBG, though less well-known, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. It can help with pain relief, making it easier for you to stretch, move, and hold poses.
CBN, on the other hand, is noted for its calming effects. It's especially useful in evening or restorative yoga classes, helping you wind down and prepare for a good night's sleep.
Blends with higher ratios of these cannabinoids relative to THC can provide the benefits of cannabis without the intense high, making them an ideal choice for a mindful and balanced yoga practice.
