Let’s bust a few myths about plant medicine use, whether you’re combing them with yoga, nature, friends, or therapy!

—> Myth #1: The substance is the medicine

✨Reality: YOU, darling, are the medicine, (especially your ability to stay present and accept the ride as it unfolds). The plants are tools so you can deepen your (inner) medicine craft.

—> Myth #2: You need to have a big cathartic experience, on a “Hero’s” dose, (with intense breath-work and loud music) to get deep healing benefit

✨Reality: Healing can be found in the microdose, the low-dose, or the epic dose. It depends on your intentions, the setting, and your skill sets.

—> Myth #3: Only serious ceremonies respect the ancient plant ally

✨Reality: These medicines co-evolved with us, and were found at our serious rituals, AND at our ecstatic, laughter-filled revelries. Healing work can be fun & light at times.

—> Myth #4: You need a trained guide for it to be safe

✨Reality: As a trained guide, I’m the 1st to champion their usefulness, - and, — let’s be real, people have been journeying without external support for ages. If a guide or a journey circle helps you feel more secure, that’s great. And if you feel like you don’t need one, that is also great!

—> Myth #5: The healing happens during the altered state (ie, on the medicine-journey).

✨Reality: The brain is more neuroplastic (able to make lasting change) in the hours, days, and weeks after your session. … Taking time to integrate the insights from your plant medicine experience with journaling, embodied movement, or talking it out, are what lead to the permanent traits you are seeking, not the trippy part. Be sure to integrate!✨

—> Ready to join our virtual 3-hour enhanced-yin yoga monthly circle? 🌀

Register for the session-pass and get your free workbook! ~ DM or Comment to grab, or click the link in my you-know-where..!✨

If you already practice flower-enhanced-yoga, you know how a little altered state can deepen embodied mindfulness.

Time to make it even trippier, with our new microdose/ low-dose yoga class!

My newest offering is a virtual screen-free, 3 hour experience that includes set, setting, skillsets, imbibing ritual, yin yoga, meditation & integration, plus
the opportunity to join our private Whatsapp group for additional support after class!💞

Deepest rest, Trippiest yoga:

Community pulse-check. How are you? Have you checked in with your people? Whether you’ve been glued to the news, hiding under your blankets, or peacefully enjoying the fall leaves, know that we are thinking of you and sending love. We deeply appreciate this community. 🍃💕

The benefits that our fave green plant offers to psychedelic journeys & healing trauma are immense.

It's a somatic-psychedelic, it can offer more agency than other psychedelics, & it aids with integration of deep journeys.

You know using canna to enhance yoga is *amazing*, but did you know the benefits are even more great when we add the element of ritual?🔮

✨Here are our six steps to creating a customized G***a Yoga ritual :

💕1. Set the space for a relaxing, trippy journey - music, safe candles, no phone

💕2. Intentionally prepare your herbal ally

💕3. Get high mindfully, using an intention to deepen the experience

💕4. Begin your practice slowly, connect to your breathing, ease in gradually

💕5. Let the yoga be different every time, since YOU are different every time

💕6. Take the good vibes with you after your roll up your mat. Let your yoga be a whole-life experience ✨

You get your yoga in today? 🧘🏾‍♂️🧘‍♀️🧘

We know you’re committed to fostering a yoga community that is inclusive, respectful, and socially responsible. 🧘‍♀️✨

That's why we're thrilled to announce that we at G***aYoga are taking a big step forward, by hiring a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) consultant to update the cultural appropriation, cannabis justice, & accessibility + inclusion modules of our Hybrid Live-stream Yoga Training!!✨💚

We’re working with the wonderful Woods, aka - who is an alumni of our training (& also offers enhanced yoga classes). You can hire her for your training or company too if inspired~!✨

Yoga is about unity, connection, inclusion, & justice. By addressing these important topics, we aim to:

🧘🏾‍♂️Ensure that our G***aYoga practice respects + honors the rich traditions from which yoga originates, so our teachings are culturally sensitive + authentic.

🌱Acknowledge the privilege to consume cannabis for yoga, when others are arrested for the same thing, and not only learn, but uplift communities harmed by the racist war on drugs.

💥Provide absolutely everyone the opportunity to experience the incredible benefits of plant-powered yoga, - regardless of race, size, age, physical ability, or experience with cannabis.

💃 Encourage challenging yet needed reflections and conversations around representation, access, inclusion, privilege, race-based trauma, & accessibility.

~~ We believe that yoga should be an equally-welcoming & healing space for *everyone* - and we're taking proactive steps to make that a reality. ✨✨✨

Stay tuned for updates to the curriculum on our Story posts as we work closely with Woods to bring you a more inclusive and culturally aware G***aYoga Training experience!

And get more info about our Yoga Alliance certified training (open to experienced yoga practitioners and teachers alike), at our link: www.g***ayoga.com/hybrid. 🌈✨

Together, we can create a yoga community that truly reflects the beauty of unity in diversity. 🙏💕

Do you add other herbs (besides herb), to your joints or bowls?

☀️There are so many healing & tasty herbs and flowers to add to canna, but my ultimate favorite is calendula, ~ the taste and smoke is *supreme!!*

Have you smoked it? ~~ Let us know in the comments what your (other!) favorite herbs are, - we put a few below & the rest are on this week’s blog, at the bio link….🌻

💧~ Damiana ~ This tasty herb is used for relaxation and mild euphoria, and is said to be good for the nervous system and libido.

🍃~ Marshmallow Leaf ~ This herb is a gentle lung-soother and antioxidant.

💆‍♀️~ Mugwort ~ Has been used for centuries to help with pain,digestion, anxiety, & for vivid dreams.

🌹~ Rose or Lavender Flowers ~ Add relaxation, beauty, goddess energy, and heartful intention to the blend.

🌱~ Tulsi ~ Has been used for centuries in Ayurveda as an adaptogen (something that helps the body handle stress). It tastes minty and slightly sweet.

—> Read the rest of our herbal recommendations at www.g***ayoga.com/gyblog (at the bio link).

What’s your fave smoking herb? Have you tried smoking blends? Why or why not? We’re working on a project about this, stay tuned….😘💨

Psychedelic cannabis is so special. What's your relationship with the plant in this way?

This week on the blog:

Healing Trauma with Psychedelic Cannabis — G***a Yoga Have you ever eaten a high-dose edible that left you seeing colored patterns, or experiencing wild body sensations? If so, you’ve experienced cannabis as a psychedelic.

🌿🧘‍♀️ When I was an ESL teacher, I used to dream of running my own company, bringing wellness and relaxation, sexual-empowerment and community all together. If we could t**e and do mindful movements, - even better!! 😄

I never dreamed that one day I’d run the G***a Yoga brand, hosting retreats in tropical locations, training hundreds of teachers, and have an organic CBD line and best-selling book! 🌴📘

My goal now is to be a part of a global movement of change-makers, medicine people, and yoga lovers who are making the world a better place. 🌍🌟

I teach people how to be a Certified G***a Yoga teacher under my brand or start their own brand of cannabis-enhanced yoga. 🕉️🧘‍♂️🍃

Want to learn more? Our Nov2-5th hybrid livestream training has early-pricing until Aug 7th! Tag a yoga teacher who might wanna join us, - here’s to each of us living our dream!!! 🎉🤗

🌿🌟 Did you know promoting equity in the cannabis is crucial?🌍💚

If we are individuals with race-based privilege, we have a responsibility to actively uplift marginalized communities in this industry to create equity where there has been oppression.

How? To start, we can cannabis products and support G***a Yoga Teachers of color. We can vote, find BIPOC-owned dispensaries, and go to city hall meetings, … to name a few... 🏛️🌿🙌🏽

Share how you create a more just and inclusive cannabis landscape for all below, and we’ll DM you with a thank-you~~🌈🤝🏾🙏🏿🌿
