A Ride the Wave class with Tierra Karou built around commitment as a physical experience that lives in the spine. You begin by waking up the whole spinal column — from tailbone to skull — using breath, sound, and movement to flush the nervous system and open new pathways. Then you choose a single point on your spine, stay with it, and let your movement be born from that one committed place, trusting that the whole body is being nourished through that focused depth. The class moves into reaching outward from the spine, then into a sustained strength phase where you hold a posture and breathe into it fully, channeling all that energy toward one clear intention before releasing into movement and a dance party.
