The opening class in the Commit To Courage series with Mariane Karou frames courage not as the absence of fear but as the committed choice to keep moving through it. Beginning with a Drop In through the pelvis and lower body — feeling the knees, the hips, the belly — the class builds through a longer wave that opens the navel area, solar plexus, and ribs before reaching into full power up and the Gotta Move splash. Throughout, Mariane guides you to distinguish between using your mind to stay connected and being used by your mind, and to find the deep satisfaction of commitment itself rather than waiting until it feels comfortable to keep going.
