Session five of the Commit To Courage series with Mariane Karou begins by rooting your awareness into your pelvic floor and lower spine — the energy centers that feed everything above and below. You breathe into this foundation and let it open, using that rootedness to move through your hips, thighs, and knees with increasing ease and fluidity. From there the wave builds through reaching out in all directions and powering up through resistance: pressing against the ground, furniture, or a partner to build real strength. The practice keeps returning courage to a felt experience in the body — not a concept, but the living sensation of staying inside the movement even when it challenges you.
