Both cannabis and yoga have been major parts of my life for over 20 years. For a while, I’ve enjoyed mixing my love of the plant with my personal practice. Uncertain of how other yoga practitioners felt about my cannabis use, it was difficult to merge the two worlds. Then I had the honor to attend a Maine Ganja Yoga mixer. There, you have a chance to “immerse yourself in a collaborative and supportive community coming together for a sacred Ganja Yoga experience and mindfully connect with the plant—no consumption necessary—while networking and building relationships with like-minded spirits.” They exceeded my expectations that evening.
The gathering was held at Milk and Honey of Swallowtail Farm in Portland, a perfect location since MGY also uses their events to highlight local businesses that align with their core values. The shop was inviting and hospitable, offering CBDinfused mocktails to attendees. MGY’s mixer was sponsored by a few wonderful local Maine CBD brands like Mindful Earth Wellness, Rooted Heart Remedies, Virgo Moon Botanicals, and Citrine CBD to name a few.
The atmosphere of the yoga room was thoughtfully planned with live music. Each practitioner was able to safely medicate in the yoga room and most did. They offered a variety of quality CBD and THC topicals, edibles, and smokables. Once everyone was thoroughly medicated, class was led by Lynsey Tamposi, founder of Maine Ganja Yoga, and Samatha Duggan.
These ladies love yoga and cannabis and it shows. We highly recommend you attend one of their Ganja Yoga Retreats and mixers, “inspired by the Cannabis Plant Spirit and the amazing magic that can only be found in Maine!” More information can be found at maineganjayoga.com.
