A Ride the Wave class with Mariane Karou dedicated to awakening power through the body's full movement cycle — feel, observe, act. You begin by opening the hips and connecting to the earth's roots, letting energy rise through your pelvic floor and into your belly. From that grounded base the class teaches you to use power-up not as aggression but as clear, assertive commitment: meeting boulders in your life the way water meets them, splashing around them rather than fighting. The gotta-move section asks you to initiate change before it is forced on you, building the adaptability and resilience that carry you through any circumstance.
