The opening class of the Awaken Your Power series with Mariane Karou, establishing the foundations of the Ride the Wave practice. You begin by sending your breath all the way out through your fingertips, feet, and the crown of your head — expanding your awareness into the full space of your body and beyond. From there the practice drops into the pelvic bowl as the motor of physical energy, flows easily through the knees and lower body, and then builds through reaching out and powering up. A central invitation runs throughout: your power is already here, and it is your consciousness — your willingness to drop inside each movement, stay committed, and breathe through all feeling — that awakens it.
