In a practice that revolves around centering yourself and finding your inner peace, it can still be difficult to forget about your endless to-do list. Yoga can help you to improve your health and relax your mind and body. In order to get the most out of this peaceful practice, try using CBD for your next yoga class to help you achieve a sense of calm and improve your mental focus. Here are four of our favorite ways to do it.

• Put a few drops of CBD oil under your tongue

Just by putting a few drops of CBD oil under your tongue, you can experience the benefits CBD has to offer when it comes to reducing stress and increasing focus. CBD interacts with your endocannabinoid system to help bring balance to your hormones and physiological responses. This can ultimately assist your body in reaching a more relaxed state. 

• Make a CBD salve or lotion and apply it to parts of your body that are stiff or sore

Similar to any kind of exercise, yoga can result in soreness or stiffness of the body. Studies on CBD have found that it can act as an anti-inflammatory agent. You can use a salve or lotion that contains CBD to topically treat the soreness. Check out this recipe for a DIY CBD lotion. You can also try out New Highs Roll-On Topical Duo so you don’t have to do the work!

• Ingest a CBD tincture 

Similar to CBD oil, a CBD tincture can be ingested before class to help you reduce stress, calm anxiety, and enhance focus. The main difference between the two is that tinctures have a more bitter taste. Both work well to provide your body with the benefits CBD can offer. Check out New Highs CBD tincture set to try it for yourself.

• Make CBD gummies to enjoy before class

We make all kinds of excuses to justify having tasty treats, so why not use yoga as an excuse, too? CBD gummies can be an effective (and delicious) way to ingest CBD while still getting the benefits. Check out this easy recipe from Emily Kyle to guide you through the process. We suggest using New Highs 2000 mg CBD tincture.
