What People are saying about Terra Karda Studio:

“Denis, I have been wanting to email you to tell you how fantastic your yoga classes are and what a great teacher you are. I think you do such a great job at not only bringing your students through a great workout but giving direction which I believe to be so important.”

Carrie Muscat Georgetown, ON

“I have never had such personal attention during a Yoga class. A relaxing shoulder massage, gentle assistance, warm blanket and a soothing eye pillow. If that wasn’t enough, I even received a gentle scalp massage at the end of one class! Denis is AMAZING!”
Lee-Ann Poff, Georgetown, ON

This video was filmed in April 2009. Oh how time flies. Just wanted to refresh my memories for all to share. Take a quick peek. My daughter Erin edited this clip.

Nia Dance Break on the streets of Toronto

Posted: Apr 12, 08:50 AM

April 1 – 3 Debbie Stewart-Rosas and Kevin VerEecke offered a wonderful FAB and Choreography intensive course. On Sunday we had a great deal of fun at lunch… Check out our Nia Dance Break on the streets of Toronto.

My Beautiful Soul Sister ~ Nia

Posted: Jan 3, 10:31 PM

Hello dear Nia family,

I just came across this most exquisite YouTube video/picture display by someone with the screen name of “skookumjam” on YouTube (who identifies herself as Anne Marie at the end of the video).

It’s set to Annie Lennox’s “You are a Shining Light” and I feel it is a tribute to ALL of us who are igniting Nia in our places of practice all around our beautiful country!

Please take 4:16 to watch it — -you will notice it features many of our Canadian dancers, including ME!

“…You arrive and the night is alive
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life

We made a connection, a full chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention

An epiphany, you burn so pretty
Yeah, you are a shining light

You are a force, you are a constant source
Yeah, you are a shining light
Incandescent into the darkest night
Yeah, you are shining light”

DON’T EVER FORGET that you are the conduit of joy, YOU transmit your passion for Nia through your dance. That WILL shine through and inspire your students to “choose” joy.

Thank you for being my community

Millions have benefited from the healing and restorative effects of Qi Gong. Regardless of our age or level of health, we can all learn Qi Gong and raise our energy and wellbeing. Qi Gong’s effects are concrete, and have been accepted by medical doctors and scientists. Among its benefits, Qi Gong can: – Strengthen the immune system and prevent illness – Reduce pain and promote deep relaxation – Improve circulation and digestive health – Slow the aging process and restore hormonal balance – Boost daily energy and improve sleep

Am I worthy of LOVE?

Dr. Brené Brown speaking on Wholeheartedness

Find 20 minutes to watch this video.

Dr. Brené Brown is a researcher professor at the University of Houston, Graduate College of Social Work, where she has spent the past ten years studying a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness, posing the questions: How do we engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to embrace our imperfections and to recognize that we are enough — that we are worthy of love, belonging and joy? Brené is the author of I Thought It Was Just Me (but it isn’t): Telling the Truth About Perfectionism, Inadequacy, and Power (2007) and the forthcoming books, The Gifts of Imperfection (2010) and Wholehearted: Spiritual Adventures in Falling Apart, Growing Up, and Finding Joy ( 2011).
