Celebrate - A Movement, Breathe, Dance Event Bondi

CELEBRATE is a curated 3-hour movement and music experience designed to shift your state - physically, mentally and emotionally.

This is where primal movement meets rhythm.

Where sweat meets stillness.

Where activation meets deep reset.

It is social.

It is energising.

It is alcohol-free.

It is designed to make you feel incredible in your body.

THE JOURNEY

We intentionally move through phases - building energy, releasing it, and then integrating it.

ARRIVAL + DJ SET - Turn It Up

We open with a live DJ set by DJ Ankesh to elevate the space and lift the room. Expect feel-good beats and a gradual build in energy as people arrive and settle in.

This is about atmosphere. Connection. Playfulness.

PRIMAL MOVEMENT METHOD - Get Wild

Led by Alvaro, we move into guided primal movement - a ground-based movement system combining strength, mobility and coordination.

You will:

• Explore primal movement patterns
• Build heat in the body
• Improve mobility and body awareness
• Feel strong, powerful and playful

No experience needed. Options provided for all levels.

DANCE JOURNEY - Let Loose

From structured movement into full freedom.

The music builds. The structure drops away.

No choreography. No judgement.

Move how you want. Express. Sweat. Release. Connect.

This is your permission to let go.

GUIDED RESET - Chill + Recharge

We intentionally close the arc with restorative guided breath and nervous system regulation led by Lauren from And Breathe.

After activation, your body is primed to drop into deep rest.

You will be guided through:

• Calming & activating breath patterns
• Gentle awareness techniques
• Grounding integration
• A deep nervous system reset

You leave clear. Regulated. Light. Glowing.

WHY THIS WORKS

When you combine:

Movement + Music + Breath

You create a powerful state shift.

This experience helps:

• Release stress and stagnant energy
• Improve mobility and body confidence
• Regulate your nervous system
• Boost mood naturally
• Create genuine connection
• It is both activating and deeply restorative.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Anyone craving something social but meaningful

Lovers of music and movement

People curious about breathwork in a non-intimidating space

Those feeling stressed and needing a reset

Anyone wanting to feel more alive in their body

Alvaro Mercado
Álvaro Mercado is a Spanish movement coach and yoga teacher based in Australia.

His approach focuses on sustainable training, body awareness and moving with purpose.

Strong foundations. Fluid movement. Real connection with your body.

Ankesh Chopra
Ankesh is a facilitator and guide dedicated to practical, grounded wellness for the modern world.

His journey began through his own personal challenges — growing up in a home where everything appeared stable and successful from the outside, yet feeling an inner disconnect that eventually led him to question, explore, and rebuild from within.

Over the past four years, Ankesh has facilitated breathwork sessions and group circles that blend practical nervous system education with modalities such as sound, movement, cacao, and intentional practices.

His approach is down-to-earth and relatable, influenced by years in the corporate world, extensive travel, and learning from teachers across India, Guatemala, Peru, and Mexico.

Today, he supports others in slowing down, tuning into their inner signals, and creating space for clarity, calm, and genuine self-connection. His work is designed to help people feel more grounded, present, and empowered in their everyday lives.

About the Breathwork

This session offers a balanced blend of calming breathing techniques, gentle active breaths, and supported breath holds, all paired with carefully curated music.
It is not conscious connected or overly stimulating breathwork, as used in some other styles.

The focus is on nervous system regulation, release without overwhelm, and grounding the body.
You will leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself.
