Delight in breathing...

The spinning instructor was almost giddy with delight.  His enthusiasm unquenchable.  Inspiring at best!  
Although what really stood out to me was his delight in breathing, relaxing on the bike and taking breaks which is diligently incorporated into the routine.  This takes me back to one of my first blog posts this year about taking time to breathe and for the heart.  I just never expected that I would find that in the gyming environment.  Refreshing!  Back home I would find myself absolutely drenched in sweat and exhausted after gym classes that I felt like a drowned rat and on a high of note. 

I think the ethos of relaxing at gym ( not only in spinning class) says something at large about the Taiwanese lifestyle.  They are not so driven for "the high" or even driven by passion.  I've noticed that they value discipline, consistency and commitment.  All things that I'm popping into the pocket of my heart to treasure forever.  

Travel changes one- in the best way, if you allow it!

Love,
Phoenix & Sarah
