February Love
February is the month that hosts Valentine’s Day, my Dad’s birthday and Family Day weekend, and so for me February is all about love and the heart. Not only a month that we share the love in our hearts but also the month to talk about the health of our heart, as February is also Heart Health Month.
Chakra Balancing Meditation

My Review: The Book of Longings
I love to read. It’s that thing I do to help me unwind in the evening. What I do to soothe my soul. I think there is something undeniably special about reading. A connection you make with a story that is so much different than watching a movie or TV. And, I don’t...
Why I Meditate
There are so many reasons why I meditate, but probably the biggest is how it makes me feel so calm. Almost instantly, I can feel my nervous system slowing down. My heart rhythm changes - it slows down. My breathing too becomes slow and shallow. I feel peace. I feel...
What is Yoga?
As a yoga instructor my email inbox is often filled with yoga jokes sent to me by my family, friends and students. “Hey, Jacine, have you seen this one?” or “Can you do this too?” Recently, I was sent a clip of a six-foot yogi who was able to contort his body into a 2...
