A Ride the Wave class with Mariane Karou anchored in the inner thighs, pelvis, and the front of the spine as pathways for sustained power. You open through your inner thighs to free the wave from your root all the way up, then work with the front of your spine as both a structural center and a felt guide — breathing into it, moving from it, pressing resistance through it. Power up here is about deep commitment and follow-through: the class returns again and again to what it means to ride a wave all the way to its end rather than breaking out in the middle. Integrity, the class proposes, becomes the guide when feelings and doubts arise.
