In a world where we find ourselves always busy, it is important to carve out time and space for relaxation. For many of us, cannabis is a key part of this down time. Whether it’s sparking up a joint and unwinding to music, or settling down for the night with an infused mug of tea, cannabis can help deliver calming effects that enhance our moments of relaxation.
Yoga & Wellness at CAFE
Here at CAFE, we’ve made sure our regular roster of weed-friendly events includes activities designed around wellness, health and relaxation. Recently, we had the pleasure of teaming up with local yoga teacher Amanda Rumley to offer a “Puff & Pose” yoga session, where guests could enjoy a cannabis joint as part of the class. Our first class was a great success!
CAFE is home to The Boardroom Theatre, a cannabis-friendly event space located in Corso Italia, across from our 1321 St. Clair West location. We hold regular, often weekly events of all kinds – comedy shows, paint nights, bingo and our newest addition – yoga and wellness sessions. We recently held our first yoga event at this space and were so happy to see tickets sell out quickly – it turns out that you all love weed and yoga even more than we expected!
Our cannabis-friendly yoga event took place in March, and was a ton of fun! Guests could choose their own yoga mat and where they wanted to be in the space. Each station was set up with a custom Boardroom yoga mat, blocks, a bottle of water and of course, a premium CAFE house roll to get things going! Many guests lit up their pre-rolls before the class, while waiting for others to arrive and things to get started.
Once everyone had arrived, Amanda got the class started. We loved working with Amanda – she is kind, friendly, professional and made our guests feel completely at ease. Our yoga classes are open to all levels, and whether someone is a beginner or a seasoned pro, they would be able to follow along at their own pace and comfort level.
Throughout the session, Amanda checked in with guests, helped adjust form when needed, and made sure everyone was comfortable and not in need of anything. Calming background music played softly while our yogis moved through the different poses in the practice.
We love incorporating cannabis into every event we do – and yoga is no exception! Many people who use cannabis regularly report that a light smoke (or other method of ingestion) really helps them get mentally ready for their day, or get into a calm mindset right before a yoga session. Whether one opts for sativa, indica or hybrid strains is entirely up to the individual and their own preferences. During daytime events, it is common to see people choosing lighter weed strains in order to help enhance the experience, but not overly heavy strains that might cause them to become tired.
