— In her groundbreaking book, Ganja Yoga — Dee Dussault, a yoga instructor, brings cannabis-enhanced yoga to North America for the first time.
It has been millennia since yogis have used cannabis to enhance their spiritual practices. Cannabis' potential role for modern seekers pursuing a spiritual path is generating quiet but growing discussion within the Western yoga community. Taking this ancient practice mainstream, Dee Dussault is a certified yoga instructor. Rather than combining cannabis with exercise, Ganja Yoga is a ceremony that makes conscious relaxation an intentional ritual you can develop with practice - a way to live more harmoniously and stress-free.
The use of marijuana during yoga practice can enhance awareness, acceptance, connectivity, and relaxation for some practitioners. The stigma surrounding marijuana dissipates as state laws loosen and marijuana is increasingly viewed as a legitimate supplement for increased well-being and health. Her book, Ganja Yoga explains how to set up a sacred space that will enable you to stretch and meditate while using this relaxing substance.
It's the exploration of how cannabis can be incorporated into yoga and smoking practices, and what considerations you need to make when introducing cannabis into your practice. Dee says: “It's more like adding spice to your food than getting stoned out of your mind.”
