Javiera is the co founder of Green Magic Yoga and with her partner Sebastián, have been integrating Yoga, Cannabis and Mindfulness creating space for healing, growth and community. As the war on drugs comes to an end we are working on building safe spaces for communities to learn, grow and heal with cannabis, mindfulness and yoga. We invite you to join this cultural and evolutionary transformation. Green Magic Yoga has been featured in Playboy, Bud.com, Psychedelic Cannabis book by Daniel McQueen among other media.
Ganja Yoga is designed for relaxation, pain-relief, well-being, community, and the cultivation of inner peace.Less physically-intense than most other yoga, Ganja Yoga is high-quality instruction, based on mindfulness and good alignment for injury-prevention, - designed for all bodies. Javi’s classes are a blend of slow vinyasa flow, relaxing vibes, grounded spirituality and a touch of latino spice. All levels are welcomed.
