The opening session of the Deepen Your Commitment series, this Ride the Wave class with Mariane Karou invites you to ground your attention in your feet and let that connection to the Earth anchor the whole wave. You begin by feeling how every part of your foot — heel, ball, toes, arch — receives energy from the ground beneath you, drawing that aliveness up through your knees and into your hips. From there the practice builds layer by layer: a gentle ripple through your ribs and breath, a gradual reach outward through your whole body, a powering up through resistance, and finally a releasing splash where movement flows in all directions. Throughout, commitment is framed not as discipline imposed from outside but as the living choice you make with each breath and each new movement.
