Vibrant Living

After tremendous success and growing participation of KW’s Annual Community Wide Cleanse, its founders: Moksha Yoga Waterloo, Seven Shores Cafe, and Vibrant Living Naturopathic and Wellness Centre are collaborating once again to bring you amazing resources for cleaner and more conscious living.

In addition to hosting yearly cleanses we are very excited to bring you monthly seminars aimed at educating, providing resources for our community and bring people together.

Each month we will be focusing on a specific area of clean living.  Seminars will be held on the first Tuesday of each month at Seven Shores Cafe from 7 pm to 8 pm.  Each month we will be featuring a new recipe that best supports the topic discussed and samples will be provided for all our attendees.

We are updating our website to build you a resource where you can download recipes and review archived seminar topics and much more.

This month, February 7th we will be talking about foods and yoga poses that support a healthy mood.   February is known as the month of the ‘Winter Blues’.  Most of us know first hand what short cold gloomy winter days can do to our mood.   Come join us and learn more about what you can incorporate naturally into your lifestyle through diet and yoga to improve your mood today and all year through!  Remember you will have the opportunity to try one of our favourite recipes to helps keep you smiling!

If there is a particular area of cleaning living you would like to know more about please don’t hesitate to forward us your suggestions!

We ‘re looking forward to seeing you there,

It’s that time of year again – Spring! The snow has melted, the sun is growing stronger each day, and the rain is moving in to wash away all the rubbish that has been hiding under the snow for months.

We’re all familiar with the idea of “spring cleaning” as it relates to our homes, closets, and garages, but how about spring cleaning our bodies? The change of seasons is the BEST time to cleanse our bodies and get ride of the toxins that have accumulated over the winter.

You know how good you feel after your home has gone through a spring cleanse; now imagine how good your body will feel it if you did the same for it!

Everyone is in need of a full body spring cleanse. It doesn’t matter how well behaved we were this winter we are all exposed to hundreds of toxins everyday, and it’s important that we aid our bodies in an annual cleanse to help rid these toxins.

While the body is normally an efficient detoxification machine on its own, the world we live in can put a strain on even the healthiest of us. The build-up of these toxins in the body can lead to a variety of seemingly unrelated symptoms, such as, fatigue, headaches, malaise, irritability, mood swings, bloating, insomnia, and muscle and joint aches or pains.

While we may have limited control over our environment, we have a great deal of control over our bodies. There is enormous value for your body in a spring cleaning.

In recognition of this important practice Vibrant Living has paired up with two other health conscious organizations from the community - Moksha Yoga Waterloo and Seven Shores Urban Market and Café – to deliver a well- planned and organized two week 3nd Annual Community Wide Spring Cleanse in the K-W area.

You know you need it!

We know this isn’t the first time you’re heard about cleansing or detoxifying. So, if it’s your first cleanse or if it’s a part of your regular lifestyle, please join us in the exciting event.

Everyone is welcome, and you do not have to be a patient of ours to participate in this free event so invite your family and friends along!   Please visit our web site, at:

Oh the holidays….smells of fresh gingerbread cookies in the oven, getting together with loved ones for a Christmas feast or sipping on a rum and eggnog by the fire. The holidays bring with them so many warm memories and traditions…but this can come at a price in terms of your health. It has been shown that people will put on an average of 10lbs of body fat over the holiday season. The problem is not only the short term weight gain, but that fact that they majority of people will never get all this weight off. (more…)

On a cold winter day, nothing could be more welcoming than a pudding full of dates and toasted walnuts. It is easy to make and has a lovely moist texture. A tangy pineapple and marmalade sauce makes a perfect accompaniment for this sticky date and walnut pudding.
