A Ride the Wave class with Tierra Karou focused on the skill of receiving — specifically, the physical and energetic act of letting your team in. You begin by filling out your space and warming your whole body, then partner with someone who places their hands on your back while you move. The practice asks you to receive that contact fully: not to perform or report to your partner, but to let their presence actually land and take you deeper into yourself. You discover that opening to being backed up requires real strength.
The wave builds through a power-up where you build the mountain of your own steady strength — no waves of feeling or reaction can knock you over — before releasing into a communal dance.
