A Ride the Wave class with Tierra Karou anchored in the backs of the knees — a portal of energy and a place to drill deep roots. You begin by bringing your full attention to this often-ignored area, sensing the space all around each knee and letting your movement unfold from there, slowly and curiously, like a child exploring. Partnered touch on the backs of the knees takes you deeper into this center, creating the stability from which you then reach and expand outward through your whole body. The class moves into a sustained strength-building phase focused on the breath as a life pump — breathing in to expand your capacity to receive, exhaling fully to practice giving all the way through — before releasing into a full-body dance.
