If you ever needed that ultimate reason to be called a hippy, doing yoga while stoned is now an acceptable thing, apparently.

420 Yoga, or basically “pot-heads who need a bit of stretching”, is a class which welcomes aspiring yogis who also indulge in the odd joint and weed brownie on occasion.

VICE’s Arielle Pardes gave the class a go and put her words into an article (once she came down, of course):

 I entered the studio, which had a dozen paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling. McDonald invited me to find a comfortable position, adding that the class always starts at 4:25, for those who may be on stoner time. I looked around. Behind me, a man without a shirt was clumsily attempting a handstand. Two classmates were chatting about being stand-up comedians. There was, to my dismay, a man wearing a tie-dyed shirt.

We lifted our bodies upright and we moved into tree pose, which someone in the class remarked was “so totally 420.” I normally have an excellent sense of balance, but I found myself remarkably unstable, and I could hardly stand for a few seconds without gradually tipping over.

Traditionally, the sadhus of India smoked weed while meditating in order to see God and be at peace.
