A Ride the Wave movement class with Tierra Karou built around the theme of commitment as a pathway to freedom — and specifically, letting go as the vehicle for deepening that commitment. You begin by warming up your whole body and dropping into the hips, exploring how ease and play unlock more energy than force ever could. From there, the practice opens into partner work where touch becomes a catalyst: wherever contact lands on your body, you breathe into that place and expand through it, letting someone else's presence take you further than you'd go alone.
The second half moves into animal-body strength — pressing into the earth through hands and feet, wrapping muscles around bones, and building a force field of engagement through your whole system. You then carry that power into movement and dance, feeling commitment not as an idea but as energy moving through your body.
