A Ride the Wave class with Tierra Karou on anchoring yourself to stay stable under pressure. You begin by arriving in your feet, letting energy come in through the breath and travel all the way down. Tierra sets out the premise directly: pressure is inherent to every single day, and trying to avoid it produces anxiety, while learning to receive it produces stability. The body of the class builds that capacity physically — moving through the whole spine from tailbone to skull, squeezing through the shoulder blades, back, and core to construct a container strong enough to hold intensity so that feeling moves through rather than lodging. It closes on what regulation actually means: not staying calm at all times, but staying open to the full experience of life and continuing to move in the direction you intended.
