I love to smoke, and I love to do yoga.. Anyone have any experience mixing those two?

I think I'd rip myself a new one if I had to try yoga.
Luckily my brain is fried enough to sometimes feed me lucid and clear images of beautiful mosque roof type patterns and legends.
Normally happens when I am super relaxed, it is so clear I can sit and describe it to the person next to me as I am seeing it.
Often wondered if that state is what people meditate and do yoga for? Visual qualities aside it is not like when you get the same type of visual on DMT and the ego disappears, there is no observer left, only the observation as a self-feeding loop.

Oh, I love to smoke...

Stretching will of course increase your Range of Movement over time, in a healthy individual..which will allow lifting to utilize more of a muscle..hence, building more of it, provided you're feeding them enough to recovered to their maximum potential. But the term ''Flexibility is Strength'' is extremely incorrect. Stretching does not build muscle, not to a noticable extent anyway. White muscle fibres (Fast Twitch) are utilized in quick movement, but are built slowly. Stretching would need to be extremely fatigue heavy to build them, which may be in your case...but for realistic stretching, it won't do jack since people don't want to spend the large amount of time/muscle energy it would take on something that would have negligible gain compared to other possible excercises. Different strokes for different folkes, if it's working for you that is awesome ! But telling people to stretch and expect gains/fat loss is, in all respect..balony.

You weigh 188-194 pounds and can bench almost 200kg ? Id need some proof to belive that is comprised from largely stretching xD

BTW, stretching that much is putting you in alot of harm for when you excercise or do ANY weight heavy/explosive movments. Be carefull

Reading this what came to mind was, cables holding up bridges for example, without flexibility, they are weak and will snap. Flexibility adds to their strength and able to withstand higher loads. Our muscle fibers resemble this.
Flexibility is strength.

You're comparing something purely mechanical in nature to something biological, even though they are a good comparison :) ...its not a truly realistic one. Steel wires are used since they are very strong when linked together and can move easily when needed (Great Range of Motion) but whats holding up the bridge ? The Flex, or the Integrity of the Steel. It's the Strength caused by the Steel, but the Flex helps that steel stay strong when in movement. I'm not Denying the fact that being flexible will allow you to increase your strength infact I agree with it severely, but being flexible DOES NOT increase your strength without composition training..it allows you to perform better when doing it...in turn granting a higher ROM and more muscle tearing, but this is only to a certain threshold specific to the individual and is at best an average increase...especially if you know how to target those hard to activate muscles.

Tearing Muscle = Building Muscle and Strength
Higher Flexibility = Higher Range of Motion (ROM)

Higher ROM + Muscle Tearing = Larger Overall Muscle Activation/Buildup.

If you ask any PT or SS, they will tell you to focus far less on the stretching...and more on the excercise and diet itself. Recent studies actually show too much stretching is terrible for your muscles and can lead to problems, included a reduced buildup of muscle and tons of density issues.

FWIW, I prefer yoga stoned. Granted I'll cough a couple times when getting into tough positions and overall I feel like it's harder to catch my breath. If I'm taking it easy it's awesome. If I want a hard workout I'll wait to imbibe until after the yoga session.

My girlfriend combines the two all the time as she finds it enhances the experience! Combining weed and yoga is a fairly controversial subject though as many argue that developing your focus and purity could be hindered by cannabis, but others find its use enables them to explore their practice more deeply.

What kind of yoga do you practice?

Happy Vaping!

Oh... back on topic...I love to surf stoned. Sometimes I stink because of it. But I have had my absolutely best sessions while high! Roll the dice.

Yes!! cannabis definitely helped my exploration, increased my focus and removed my mental barriers. Helped me really get in to it!
The only downside is that it does make certain poses more difficult.... my balance isnt quite there after a few hits of the bowl

Never tried yoga however have tried stretching the type that really works out your muscles. Felt stronger, happier and more euphoric overall when doing so 5 to 6 days per week.

Added a nice boxing routine/workout to that and never felt better! It was amazing.
Need to get back into it.

3 stepsons, and a crazy girlfriend later (love you honey!) Im lucky if I get out on the mountain bike twice a week nowadays lol.

one of the greatest combinations I know of! Sometimes when I'm high with other plans I end up gravitating towards yoga and ditching the other plans lol. My body is like stretch meeeee!!! lol

I think its a better idea to smoke afterwards.... I mean, at least personally... I notice I tend to get a lot more frustrated with myself in attempting difficult positions and tend to not really be as mindful or aware of stuff like my breathing when im blitzed out of my gourd so.... yea... idk maybe its different for everyone, I mean I get high before, during and after a roll... but yogas different..

I don't smoke before and after doing yoga as I have already found my relaxation after doing so. I prefer smoking whenever I am stress for work, but not while doing a workout routine.

It's really awesome and makes the experience even better, especially for the meditation. I've been practicing for about 25 years, so I don't get any sort of frustration. Yoga isn't about getting into difficult poses. It's about being in that moment and breathing through it. :cool:

Weed usually gives me anxiety, though that may be just me. I tend to combine it with other relaxing supplements and I can do yoga just fine.
