1. CBD and Yoga

Why it works:

Yoga helps balance the mind-body connection, while CBD can enhance that by:

• Calming the mind before practice
• Easing physical tension to deepen stretches
• Reducing inflammation post-session for faster recovery

How to integrate CBD with Yoga

• Before practice: A small dose of CBD oil under the tongue or in tea 30–45 mins before can help you drop into your practice more easily.
• During practice: Topical CBD on joints or tight muscles pre-class can ease discomfort during deeper postures.
• After practice: Use a CBD-infused body balm or bath soak to enhance muscle recovery and extend that blissed-out yoga glow.

Good pairings

• Yin yoga or restorative flows (since both emphasize slow, mindful movement and relaxation).
• Breathwork and meditation (CBD supports focus and calm).

2. CBD and Tai Chi / Qigong

Why it works

Tai chi is all about flowing energy (Qi) and cultivating balance—CBD may support this by:

• Reducing anxiety or mental chatter to allow energy flow
• Easing joint stiffness for smoother, more fluid movements
• Enhancing body awareness

How to use CBD with Tai Chi

• Pre-practice ritual: Use a tincture or vape microdose to bring the nervous system into parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) mode.
• Topical support: If joints feel stiff, a warming CBD balm before practice can help with mobility.
• Post-practice: A calming CBD tea or capsule to keep the relaxed state going and aid recovery.

3. A few tips

• Start with low doses (5–10mg) and build up as you see how it affects your body.
• Use full-spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD for a wider range of cannabinoids and benefits.
• Keep your CBD products natural and clean, just like your movement practices—no junky additives.
