The foundation of Puff Puff Flow began in 2018. Yoga became part of my cardiac rehab as I was recovering from open-heart surgery. What began as a physical practice to regain strength and mobility quickly became a lifeline for managing anxiety and feeling present during a time of uncertainty. I was living in Denver and working in the cannabis industry at the time, and having access to so many different products and ways of consuming cannabis sparked a curiosity around how it could enhance my yoga practice and deepen that same sense of presence.

 

After a global pandemic and a cross-country move, I decided to complete my 200-hour YTT and create Puff Puff Flow as a way to share this practice and help others feel more empowered in their relationship with cannabis and their bodies, regardless of their ability. I wanted to create a space to slow down, tune out the noise of the external world, and tune in to the layers of the self, where cannabis and yoga could coexist without stigma or hesitation. What began as a few friends on my roof deck grew into pop-up classes throughout Philadelphia, collaborations with amazing people and like-minded brands, and a community built around cannabis and yoga.

 

Puff Puff Flow has gone through different phases and iterations over the years, but the heart of the practice has stayed the same. It’s about intentional cannabis consumption, cultivating presence through intentional breath and movement, and creating opportunities to connect more deeply and authentically with ourselves and with the Puff Puff Flow community.
