Reinforcement and Flexibility
Yoga is known for its postures that involve all the muscles of the body. Asanas, or postures, strengthen muscles, improve posture and develop flexibility. By practicing yoga regularly, you may see an improvement in your overall physical strength and greater ease in your daily movements.
However, we often forget the wide variety of yoga styles available. At Oly Be , for example, a broad range of yoga classes is offered, from anxiety-relieving yoga workshops to yoga combined with sound therapy—there's something for everyone! To fit your lifestyle, Oly Be offers online classes or in-studio classes in Paris and Lyon if you prefer a group setting. Several difficulty levels are available to ensure accessibility for all. You'll find what you're looking for at Oly Be , whatever your level or preferences! You can browse the different classes offered by clicking here.
Hemp has anti-inflammatory properties: it can be very useful as a supplement after your yoga session. For example, you can use the Miracle CBD Balm, which will soothe muscle tension, or the Goodbye Aches and Pains Relief Antidote : the combined action of CBD and active ingredients like turmeric will relieve your joint and muscle pain.
Stress management and emotional balance.
Yoga is a practice that can improve concentration and mental clarity. By focusing on the breath and being fully present in each posture, yoga promotes mindfulness. For some, yoga offers a necessary experience of letting go, allowing them to clear their minds and focus on what truly matters. Yoga is often recommended as a complementary practice for managing emotions and promoting emotional balance. The fluid movements of yoga, combined with conscious breathing, help calm the nervous system and regulate emotions. Oly Be goes even further by offering a women's yoga workshop that takes into account female hormonal balance in the practice of yoga, including all the phases experienced during the menstrual cycle.
Yoga is actually one of the solutions we recommend for stress in our ebook , The Great Stress Study , a true guide to a more peaceful life. Indeed, various studies have shown that a regular yoga practice can reduce stress and anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This system regulates the body's involuntary functions (always the same ones, like breathing and blood circulation) and tends to reduce the excessive release of hormones, calming the body: this is the relaxation response! Slower heart rate, lower blood pressure, improved digestion, and increased libido are just some of the benefits. Yoga is therefore a good way to activate the parasympathetic system and lead a more serene life.
The use of hemp for a unique yogic experience.
Adding hemp to your yoga practice can act as extra support by promoting deeper relaxation and reducing anxiety. Let's take an example: A 2018* Italian study looked at the effects of Cannabis HE on the human brain. Although it was conducted on a limited number of subjects, this study presents striking results:
After inhaling Cannabis EO for 5 minutes, test subjects reported feeling “calm, relaxed, and energetic, said they were in a good mood, felt hungry, and people with headaches felt no more pain”. The self-assessment test conducted on these subjects shows an increase in the level of relaxation and general well-being.
These results are explained by the terpene composition of this essential oil. Limonene exhibits anxiolytic action (via serotonergic 5-HT receptors), as does β-caryophyllene (via CB2 receptors) and myrcene exhibits sedative, analgesic and relaxing action.
Thus, the subtle and delicate smell of hemp can make your yoga session even more effective. For this, you can use in your room La Vie en Vert, our interior mist with terpenes to ward off bad vibes and fully enjoy your session.
