A Ride the Wave class with Mariane Karou organized around the hips, jaw, and the connection between them — two places in the body that tend to hold on and, when released together, open up raw creative energy that can be directed rather than suppressed. You work the gotta-move breath — quick, in and out through the mouth — to charge your system and soften your jaw, then flow easily through the hips before building into a full wave. Throughout the class, the guidance returns to loving your movement: not as a performance, but as a genuine act of attention that opens the body in ways that nothing else does. New pathways, new possibilities, the ability to feel yourself fully alive.
