What if 2026 was the year you stayed consistent?

HAPPY early NEW YEAR, Shala Community — and welcome to a fresh cycle of sadhana (practice).

January carries a powerful energy. Inboxes fill up, calendars get busy, and there’s renewed buzz around goals and resolutions. For some, it’s motivating. For others, it can feel overwhelming.

Yoga offers us a different lens for this season.

You may have heard this before, but it bears repeating: consistency isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what you can, again and again, with sincerity.

In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali reminds us that steadiness comes through abhyasa (practice) and vairagya (non-attachment):

“Abhyasa vairagyabhyam tan nirodhah.”
(Practice and non-attachment still the fluctuations of the mind.)

This isn’t about heroic effort or perfection. It’s about continuity — returning to breath, movement, and presence, again and again. When we meet the mat with a calm heart, even a few times a week, the nervous system begins to soften and settle.

Consistency = Invitation, Not Pressure

Consistency tends to stick when it’s gentle — when it feels like a warm invitation rather than another demand. That’s the spirit of Triangle Shala: yoga that is welcoming, real, and accessible.

Here’s our invitation to you this season:

• Choose one weekly class that fits your life right now — and commit to showing up for it. Let it become part of your rhythm. (If you’re coming twice a week, that’s wonderful too.)

• Block your mat time like a meeting with yourself. Put it on your calendar. Protect it. Let it be non-negotiable, without pressure to “perform.”

• Pay attention to what unfolds over time. Notice changes in your breath, mood, focus, or self-talk — and share those reflections with us. Let this be a conversation we continue together this year.

Consistency may not be glamorous, but it is deeply trustworthy. Over time, it builds warmth, steadiness, and a quiet inner strength — a reservoir of calm and depth you can return to again and again.

What’s Happening at the Studio This Month

We’re keeping things simple and supportive in January:

• 6 Weekly Hatha Classes — a consistent rhythm to build from

• Community Chats after class — to deepen connection

•  Special New Year’s Day Class Jan 1st! 11 AM - 12:15. Set your intention for the year!

• January 18th - Sunday - will be a pop-up 75 minute Ashtanga ½ Led Primary class with a new guest teacher, Andrew! All levels are welcome - even beginners.

• February 1st - Sunday - our beloved Sanskrit workshop is back where we will study Chapter 2 of the yoga sutras (chapter 2 talks about how to practice). Gayathri is a wonderful teacher, please join us - even if you’re new to Sanskrit!

Thank you for being a part of the journey. Thank you for believing in our vision. Thank you for showing up, week after week on your mat and putting forth the best version of yourself and your efforts.

Let’s make 2026 the year that we are not frantic, but grounded, and steady.

Happiest of New Years to you all!
