Toke With A Goat Yoga

Anyone who spends time with animals knows that it just plain feels good! But scientists have proven that this isn’t just in our heads. Animals have a measurable effect on our physiology. Interacting with animals can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels; it can reduce anxiety and depression; improve sleeping habits, memory and mobility; and it may also increase survival rates after life-threatening diseases.

And anyone who has taken a yoga class knows that yoga can make us feel good, too. The benefits of yoga (supported by science) include increased flexibility and strength; decreased stress hormone levels; improved respiratory, cardio and circulatory health; and more.

So, If the words “calming and gently relaxing” are sounding a lot like your favorite yoga practice, that’s no coincidence. As many yogis are discovering, CBD products and yoga go together like baby goats and backflips: Two great ideas that are wonderful alone, but totally dynamite together. Because using CBD won’t get you high, it’s entirely safe and acceptable to use during a yoga practice or any other regular activities. Benefits of using CBD include:

Pain relief

Relief from anxiety and depression

Relief from overthinking

Decreased inflammation

Increased mood

CBD is a natural fit for a gentle yoga class, but it can also enhance your experience in a more upbeat, quicker-paced flow-style or vinyasa class, especially if you’re prone to a wandering mind. How often have you been in a yoga class and thought, “I am supposed to be Zen! I just wish I could silence these thoughts!” It’s hard to automatically turn off your overthinking brain simply because you’ve hit the mat. CBD helps.
