What People are saying about Terra Karda Studio:

“Many thanks to Denis Karda of Terra Karda Studio. She is one phenomenal Nia & Yoga teacher. She has helped me both physically and mentally.”
Eva O’Brien, Gerogetown, ON

“It has been about a year and a half since I began yoga classes with Denis. I have never felt better. She seems to be able to target the areas of need with ease. Denis has a real passion for what she does and it shows. I have attended other yoga classes in the past and no one comes close to Denis. My favourite part of her sessions is when she helps me with my stretches/positions. It is as if she knows exactly where my body needs to go.”


“I have also attended some of Denis’ Nia classes. Denis makes it fun and to seem effortless especially with the uplifting music she chooses. I would recommend any of her classes to anyone as she is easily able to tailor them to suit anyone’s needs. But please Denis save one spot for me!!”

Lillian Muir, Georgetown Ontario

Nia - The Body's Way Education

Posted: Jul 22, 11:03 AM

The Principles of The Body’s Way

The Body’s Way is guided by five fundamental principles that keep the body functioning optimally:

  1. The Body Thrives on Dynamic Ease
  2. The Body Demands Balance
  3. The Body is Balanced in Yin and Yang
  4. The Body’s Way Demands Five Sensations
  5. The Body Itself Reveals The Body’s Way

Each principle is associated with one of the Five Stages of Self-Healing

  1. Embryonic
  2. Creeping
  3. Crawling
  4. Standing
  5. Walking
