A Ride the Wave class with Mariane Karou that begins by dropping your full attention into your feet — spreading your toes, breathing through every pore, letting the soles of your feet connect you to the earth and open energy channels all the way through your body. From that grounded base the practice opens through the spine: bones floating in water, softening defense, releasing into the wave of motion. You are guided to find your yes — not as performance but as felt commitment — through the high and low arcs of the wave cycle, building strength by confronting resistance, including every feeling, and riding the current all the way through to the crash and the quiet after.
