A Ride the Wave class with Tierra Karou turning attention toward the back body — the backs of the legs, the whole of the spine, the space behind the heart — because genuine forward movement requires that you are also nourished from behind. You begin by feeling the backs of the knees, the calves, the hamstrings: areas rarely given direct presence, opened now like rivers of energy flowing through the posterior body.
Dropping deeper, you bring your breath into the back, feeling where the ribs, lungs, and spine already have open space from the inside. A partnering phase introduces back-to-back contact as a form of meeting — the point where two systems touch and new energy is created. Power-up builds strength through the spine and shoulder blades, rooting like a tree trunk. The session closes with the back body as the place of rest: letting your weight and attention drop in, discovering that when you truly receive through your back, solutions and clarity naturally arise.
