Session four of the Commit To Courage series with Mariane Karou opens in the pelvic floor and lower spine, using breath to awaken this root energy center and send it flowing all the way up through the midline. You work through your hips and pelvis with an emphasis on ease — letting movement flow like water — before gradually building the wave through reaching and powering up. The core lesson here is that courage and ease are not opposites: real power moves fluidly, and strength is built incrementally, one ripple of effort at a time. You practice meeting resistance — in your own body and with partners — and returning again and again to the feeling of committed, grounded presence.
