It's 420—a.k.a. the unofficial holiday of the weed enthusiast—and whether or not you partake, we're guessing you don't associate "marijuana day" festivities with a healthy lifestyle. But some people have begun mixing their favorite exercises with more, um, recreational activities. Case in point: 420 yoga, or the increasingly popular act of supplementing your poses with pot.
"A growing number of yoga studios, in legal and medicinally legal states, are openly embracing the cannabis-exercise connection by offering 420-friendly classes that encourage students to participate 'under the influence,'" writes Cheri Sicard in Mary Jane: The Complete Marijuana Handbook for Women (Seal Press). It's not a Bring Your Own Bowl situation, though—students are expected to light up before class.
Obviously, we're not endorsing breaking any laws in order to give this adventurous spin on yoga a try. But hey, if you're a yoga enthusiast in a state where indulging is legal, we won't fault you for taking inspiration from these very relaxed-seeming 420 yogis:

Interested in trying for yourself? "As of now, most 420 yoga classes are offered on the down low," writes Sicard. "Make inquiries and keep an eye out; as acceptance grows, more of these classes will start coming out of the cannabis closet." And you know, keep your state laws in mind.
