Day to day our lives can be stressful. You’re running from meeting to meeting, trying not to miss deadlines, climbing the career ladder and not to mention trying to find time to be social. Life can be pretty full-on, which is why some of us choose to slow down with yoga practice. When we practice yoga we can get in tune with our bodies and our breath, we can increase our shallow breathing and feel a little calmer. After all, our body being under so much physical or mental stress all the time will take its toll.
Another thing that we can add to our toolkit of calm and relaxation is CBD. CBD is a legal cannabinoid which comes from the cannabis plant. CBD and yoga go hand in hand for many reasons, which we will come to later. For now, let’s look at what CBD is.
What is CBD?
CBD is a legal cannabinoid and one of the hundred that comes from the cannabis plant. The cannabinoid has been found to help with conditions and ailments, such as cancer symptoms, nausea, headaches, anxiety, depression, chemotherapy symptoms, Parkinsons, epilepsy, sleep disorders, period pains and more. CBD is legal as it does not contain THC in any amount to feel psychoactive effects.
You may notice that full-spectrum CBD contains trace amounts of THC, this is legal and will not get you high. This is because it is filtered less aggressively and retains terpenes and THC as a result.

Why use CBD for yoga?
CBD for yoga is becoming increasingly popular. Not only is it a calming and anti-anxiety cannabinoid, but it is also perfect for pain relief. When you are practising yoga you are looking for pain-free relaxation. You don’t want your mind to wander off to a place of anxiety or pain when you are trying to feel zen in a corpse pose.
A few CBD benefits related to yoga include:
- Pain relief and muscle relaxant
- Help combat anxiety and depression
- Decreased inflammation
- Enhance mood
During yoga, you want to feel your most chilled and zen self. This will help you to ease your way into those trickier positions. All the while you won’t be flooded by thoughts of work, friends drama or that big meeting you have tomorrow. With a few drops of CBD for yoga, you could really enhance your practice and soothe your busy mind.
