Based in Vancouver, Yoga & Health Foundation is an organization designed to spread awareness about holistic living. It was founded in 2015 by Aditya Tawatia, an accomplished businessman and social entrepreneur, to help people tap into their raw potential and adopt a yogic way of life through plant-based diet, meditation, and overall mental well-being.
Yoga & Health Expo is a path to enlightenment through compassion for all beings and the benefits of a whole food, plant-based diet. YHE is changing the way people view spirituality, life, themselves, one another, animals, and the environment.
We promote Health balance and happiness for all to inspire people to take charge of their health through yoga and nutritional therapy.
A world where people of all ages have the knowledge, tools, and opportunities to lead healthier, happier, and more balanced lives by reconnecting with themselves, their communities, and nature.
The Yoga & Health Foundation empowers individuals, families, workplaces and communities to improve physical and mental well-being through accessible, practical and evidence-informed approaches including yoga, breathwork, meditation, healthy eating, movement, mindfulness, time in nature and other simple lifestyle practices.
Aditya Tawatia weaves together a compelling exploration of the plant-based diet, spiritual practice of yoga, physical health, care for the planet, Veganism, and peaceful coexistence with animals and nature.
Aditya believes that Ahimsa is all about being kind to others (including animals and other sentient beings), to the planet, and oneself.
Eating foods that are grown away from our geographical and cultural identity cannot aid the well-being of our body or that of the country’s economy. So eating organic, locally grown, plant-based food is highly recommended.
Choose local and be vocal about it because it is so simple! It is Healthier. It is Humane. It is Economical. It is Environmentally Friendly. It is common sense!
