Charo not bad right this is one of the private rooms that they have here all the way at the beach front super nice here you have your private ham up you have two swings you can enjoy you can open this up kind of look all the way down to the beach also have a table in the middle and over here you have a private kitchen which I'll show you right now here is the private kitchen also comes with a fridge and a microwave and for all the Filipinos watching also has a rice cooker transferring a lot of footage this morning beach bar is actually right behind here I'm let me give you a little sneak peek of what that looks like my God super beautiful one of the things I love about Island living is the ability to have your living room outside you got to be careful because if you do it over time all your camera gear and stuff will be rusty but if you're just visiting the island for a week not an issue at [Music] all every day there is a new activ ity happening here at happiness and today on Sundays they do breathing exercises in the morning which is it's not yoga but it's like healing through breathing something I actually do enjoy when I free dive so I'm going to try this never tried it before put it to the test try something new that's what it's all about that's happening here in the front Beach fr then we have the retention with a breath without any air now the more that we emphasize each part of the breath the different effects that we can consciously have into our body into our minds into any kind of scenario that we're taking ourselves inhale deeply guys I don't know if it's a little windy but I'm going to try to talk to you anyway just finished this morning of energy spiritual breathing techniques here at happiness beautiful experience someone like me that's sold digital always on my phone and being able to just take an hour to focus on breathing and being in a good space was really beautiful so they do that here every Sunday so definitely consider checking
