A Ride the Wave class with Mariane Karou built around a single, unifying idea: your animal body is medicine. You begin by letting breath and movement come through you without any formal shape or purpose — just waking up the part of you that feels, that can pounce or go completely still, that knows what it needs before your thinking mind does. Mariane introduces three modes — the fish (feeling), the bird (containing), the cheetah (acting) — and invites you to move your resistance: say out loud what you have been avoiding, then move in precisely that place in your body where you have been frozen. The practice closes with participants sharing what they discovered, a circle of voices naming everything from primal power and self-trust to releasing patterns that no longer serve.
