Because your body already knows how

Wakera is a guided movement journey — ecstatic dance, somatic movement, breathwork and voice, woven into one arc. A facilitator leads you from grounding into full-bodied dance and back to stillness.

Silent-disco headphones put the music right in your ears — immersive, at your own volume, and welcome in public spaces. The beach stays quiet; you don't.

No dance experience needed. No steps, no watching, nothing to get wrong.

How a session flows

the arc
  1. Arrival & grounding
    Land in your body. Feet on the earth, headphones on, breath slowing down.
  2. Warm-up
    Gentle mobilizing — joints, spine, weight shifts. The body wakes gradually.
  3. Movement waves
    The music builds and releases. You follow your own impulse — no steps, no watching.
  4. Breath & voice
    Guided breathwork and vocal release, letting sound move what movement started.
  5. Integration & stillness
    Slowing down. Lying back, sky above, letting the session settle in.

Happy words

from our dancers
I came in tired and left feeling like I had slept for a week. I have never felt so free moving in public.
Maya — San Francisco
The headphones change everything. The world disappears and it is just you, the music, and the ocean.
Daniel — Oakland
We booked it for our team offsite and it was the part everyone kept talking about afterwards.
Priya — People Ops

About us

who holds the space

[Name] has spent over a decade in ecstatic dance and somatic practice — studying movement, breathwork, and voice, and facilitating circles from living rooms to beaches. Their sessions are known for feeling both deeply free and completely safe.

Wakera was born to bring embodied practice out of the studio and into the Bay's most beautiful outdoor spaces — where wind, light, and tide become part of the music.
