Ganja Yoga - High in High Park

Experience pairing two powerful medicines: Cannabis and Yoga. You need no experience with either Yoga or Cannabis to participate. This is a class by donation. Donation can be made at the event in cash or via e-transfer to nici@breathinginnature.com. On average people donate between $5-$35 per event.

In Yoga we combine breath and movement with awareness. The benefits of weed during our practice vary and are 'highly' personal. For most, it helps to bring attention inwards, out of our busy minds and into body, heart and spirit. Some find enhanced relaxation, some enhanced strength and flexibility. Some are utterly surprised to learn that they can be active at all while high! Common side effects include enhanced fun, creativity, pleasure, elevated consciousness and connection to self, each other and nature.

By the way, Hi, I’m Nici, your guide for this class. My partner and I run an organization called Breathing in Nature. I’ve been practicing and teaching psychedelics-enhanced yoga for 8 years. For 3 years I studied and taught at House of Yoga in Toronto. For almost 10 years it was Toronto's only Ganja Yoga Studio. You can read more about me here.

My Yoga is accessible to everyone, from total beginner to master. No experience is necessary - neither in Ganja nor Yoga. My classes are non-competitive, and everyone is encouraged to listen to their own needs in the moment. That might mean lighting your inner fire and powering through all the poses or perhaps lying in relaxation for the entire class.

Please bring:

• Your cannabis
• Water
• Yoga mat
• Warm layers/ weather appropriate clothes
• Optional: a snack to share after

We yoga rain or shine. Bring weather-appropriate clothing. Remember: it gets chilly when the sun goes down. We will be spending some time in stillness doing breathwork and relaxation, so have either a blanket or warm layers to put on.

We will start the class smoking/vaping together, sharing our experiences with cannabis as a medicine. I will bring some to share. If you are a fan of edibles, please eat them about half an hour to an hour before the class.
