Exploring Dhyana: December’s focus on the Art of Meditation

As we step into the final month of the year, it’s the perfect time to embrace stillness and reflection. At Triangle Shala, our December theme is Dhyana, the seventh limb of Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga. Rooted in the practice of meditation, Dhyana invites us to cultivate a steady, focused mind, paving the way for deeper connection and inner peace.

In yoga, Dhyana is both a tool and a destination. It supports our physical practice by anchoring the mind, helping us move with greater presence and intention. But Dhyana can also stand alone as the practice itself—a quiet moment to simply be. Through consistent meditation, we unlock clarity, reduce stress, and deepen our awareness, fostering a more harmonious relationship with ourselves and the world around us.

A special note from Aparna: a heartfelt thank you to our teachers who continued teaching for me & to our students who continued to show up on the mat, while I was on a brief break. I’m back to teaching my Friday & Sunday classes and very much am looking forward to it. I hope to also find space & time for our substitute teachers to continue to teach at our studio pending how responses go to our surveys!

Let us understand Dhyana and practice it together

A Year-End Reflection from Triangle Shala

As 2024 comes to a close, we at Triangle Shala are filled with gratitude and joy reflecting on a year of growth, connection, and meaningful moments. This year has been marked by several highlights that have enriched our practice and strengthened our community.

We hosted multiple music concerts featuring incredibly talented artists from India (many thanks to our dear Sanjay for setting these up) and introduced Hatha yoga sessions with live music, accompanied by gifted local Hindustani sarod, sitar, and flute artists. These unique experiences have brought vibrancy and depth to our practice and cultivated a beautiful connection between yoga and music.

Our student attendance has steadily grown, and we are thrilled to see a tightly knit, yet inclusive community blossoming at the studio. We have also expanded our connections within Morrisville by teaching yoga classes at the local library and farmer’s market, bringing yoga into accessible, everyday spaces.

This year brought some changes to our leadership as well. Sanjay, our co-founder, has stepped back to focus on his studies, and Aparna has embraced the role of running the studio solo. We wish Sanjay all the best! Aparna remains deeply committed to serving this community with care, with the support of our incredible teachers.

As we look ahead to 2025, our vision is clear: to continue growing slowly and intentionally, to expand our offerings, and to uphold our core values—authenticity, accessibility, and inclusivity. We are endlessly thankful for the love and support of every student, teacher, and community member who makes Triangle Shala Yoga what it is.

Here’s to another year of shared growth, meaningful practice, and deep connection. Thank you for being a part of our journey!

With love and gratitude,The Triangle Shala Team
