About the Foundation

Founded in 2015 in Vancouver, Yoga & Health Foundation is an organization designed to spread awareness about mental health using holistic approaches. It is a path to enlightenment through compassion for yourself, and all beings by promoting a holistic approach to living, which includes a whole food, plant-based diet that supports mental well-being.

YHE is doing its best the way people view mental and physical health, spirituality, life, themselves, one another, animals, and the environment.

Yogic lifestyle is not just about losing weight and toning up. It is what we choose to eat that can have the biggest effect on our mental health status. Join us on our journey towards mental and physical well-being through holistic living.

By promoting mental wellness & healthy eating, we not only support animal welfare but also help people make healthy food choices that can have a positive impact on their mental health. We believe that a yogic way of life can help people choose wisely for a physically and mentally stable, happy, and successful life.
