Chose SMART! Here is a great chance to hang out with some really SMART people at the Live the Smart Way Expo and learn from them.

Learn how to dance, try a Zumba class and learn all about Ayurveda with us while supporting four local charities. Make Canada the healthiest nation on earth with Holistic Nutritioni­st of the Year, Kathy Smart.

We have a focus this year on Ayurveda at the Live the Smart Way Expo. What is Ayurveda? Ayurveda is the oldest system of holistic medicine in the world. The sages of ancient India passed on the wisdom of Ayurveda to mankind through the ages for over 5000 years.

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word where “Ayu” refers to all aspects of life and nature, and “Veda” means knowledge or learning at the deepest level. Known as the science of life, Ayurveda treats the person as a whole — a combinatio­n of body, mind and spirit. Prevention is a key tenet in Ayurveda. The Ayurvedic approach to health emphasizes prevention of illness, rather than simply waiting to cure it. Ayurveda also teaches us how to live in harmony with the laws of nature in our daily and seasonal routines.

Learn all about Ayurveda, how to do Masala Bangra, Zumba and taste and try all kinds of delicious foods that are good for you and actually taste good!
