A Ride the Wave class with Mariane Karou centered on awakening the hips, pelvis, and pelvic floor as the root of all movement energy. You drop into your midline — the open canal running from the pelvic floor through the belly, ribs, and throat to the crown — and let that channel guide every movement. The practice builds through a shorter introductory wave and a longer full wave, exploring ease in the hips and thighs, then reaching out, then powering up with resistance and effort. You are led to breathe through fear and emotion, meeting what feels locked or frozen rather than fighting it, so that decisive action can flow through the body.
