Season Finale. With Love, Kisa

Today we will practice the 4-7-8 breathing technique.   "The 4-7-8 breathing technique is a breathing pattern developed by Dr. Andrew Weil. It’s based on an ancient yogic technique called pranayama, which helps practitioners gain control over their breathing. When practiced regularly, it’s possible that this technique could help some people fall asleep in a shorter period of time."

Humble is defined as having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance... I hate that for you.  This is your reminder to f*** being humble.  Let your light shine!   With Love,  Kisa
