Toke with a Goat for Asheville Yoga Festival

by Leave a Comment

Thursday July 24th – Franny’s Farm and Asheville Yoga Festival have joined forces to bring you this one of a kind yoga experience! It’s fun to get Zen to Bend with goats! Also expect a private, guided tour from Franny. She recently received a national award by Hemp History Week as a featured farmer. This is due to her public advocacy for the hemp plant and it’s various uses in food, fiber, building materials and medicine. Expect hemp-infused snacks and drinks to accompany your experience interacting with animals, the land, flower, bee and vegetable gardens. There will be free time to explore, hike the ridge to eco-cabins, forage blackberries and/or relax.

Anyone who spends time with animals knows that it just plain feels good!  But scientists have proven that this isn’t just in our heads. Animals have a measurable effect on our physiology. Interacting with animals can lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels; it can reduce anxiety and depression; improve sleeping habits, memory and mobility; and it may also increase survival rates after life-threatening diseases.

Benefits of using CBD include:

Pain relief
Relief from anxiety and depression
Relief from overthinking
Decreased inflammation
Increased mood
 

 Anyone who has taken a yoga class knows that yoga can make us feel good. The benefits of yoga (supported by science) include increased flexibility and strength; decreased stress hormone levels; improved respiratory, cardio and circulatory health; and more.
