A Ride the Wave class with Tierra Karou that holds one question throughout: in this moment, do you need more pressure or more ease? You begin by dropping attention into your feet and breath, then opening through the rib cage and spine — feeling the dynamic tension that your own attention creates inside your body. From there you are invited to press and squeeze, wringing yourself like a towel to access your authentic core, and then to open fully into ease and fluid flow. The practice teaches you to move back and forth between these two forces — strong like a river and steady like its banks — so that you are both grounded and adaptable in everything you do.
