A Ride the Wave class with Mariane Karou that trains the breath to move through the whole body — fingertips, feet, toes, the crown of the head — as a way of waking up your power from the inside out. You begin by circulating your breath through every extremity, feeling how directing your attention is itself an act of power, and then drop into the pelvic bowl as the motor that grounds all that energy into the earth. From that rooted center the class opens outward: flowing easily through the knees, reaching into the chest and heart, and then powering up to build the resilience to open your heart again after hurt. The invitation throughout is to breathe through all feeling — fear, sadness, joy — and let it fuel movement rather than stop it.
