The Shala Delhi

Most arm balances don’t feel accessible in the beginning.

Kukkutasana especially asks for strength, control, and a kind of steadiness that takes time to build.

It’s not just about lifting the body.
It’s about learning how to organise your strength,
stay with the breath,
and hold your attention without rushing through it.
Some days it feels light,
some days it doesn’t lift at all.

Both are part of the practice.

If you’re working with this posture right now,
stay with it a little longer.

May doesn’t need a reset.
It just needs a little more steadiness.

In Ashtanga, the practice stays the same,
but how you meet it changes.

Some days feel clear and strong,
and some feel slow or distracted.
Both are part of building something that lasts.

So instead of doing more this month,
come back to what helps you stay ~
with the breath,
with the body,
with the repetition.

That’s where regulation begins.
Quietly, over time.

Save this to come back to during the week.
Which one are you keeping in this month?

What it looks like
and what it feels like
are often very different.

From the outside, it can seem like just a posture,
but from within, it’s much quieter
and more like settling into something.

Over time, this is what the practice becomes,
so it’s less about how it appears
and more about how it actually feels.

Most people think learning to teach yoga is about knowing the sequence.

But it’s really about learning to observe.

To notice how each body moves differently.
To see where the breath changes.
To recognise patterns in movement and limitation.

And then respond with more clarity,
not by pushing deeper,
but by supporting better.

That’s where teaching actually begins.

Dysregulation and regulation are both part of how the system functions.

It’s normal to move between states of over-activation and low energy.

The practice helps you recognise where you are
and find your way back to a more steady state.

Through breath, movement, and attention,
this ability gradually becomes more familiar.

Some weeks begin slower than you expect.

Things don’t move as quickly,
don’t feel as clear,
don’t look the way you thought they would.

Still counts.
