Why Conference Organizers Choose
Our Social Wellness Activities
Conference attendees are overwhelmed, over-scheduled and under-connected. They're hungry for experiences beyond surface-level networking mixers. You need programming that creates out-of-the-box fun while delivering tangible professional value.
We specialize in facilitating conference wellness activities, like yoga, Drunk Yoga® and playful movement and networking sessions and that build community through accessible games, storytelling and interactive learning. Every conference activity is designed to energize rather than drain, creating the kind of memorable wellness experiences that attendees talk about long after the conference ends.

01:
[Social] Yoga & Mindfulness
-
The viral sensation that started it all. Our yoga drinking game with a beverage in hand, coffee, wine, juice, coconut water or whatever makes you feel like your cup is full.
These bespoke, beginner friendly interactive yoga drinking games turn a solo practice into a social one, with games and laughter built in, so wellness and community building become a one-stop solution. It is the fastest way to get a room laughing, moving and talking to people they have never met.Good for: brand activations, conferences, off-sites, celebrations, instant energy.
-
All the fun of Drunk Yoga® with none of the drinking. Gentle stretching and partner games loosen the body and the room at the same time, building camaraderie and reigniting a passion for the collective. It is the easy yes for groups that want movement and connection without the wellness intimidation factor or the beverage. People leave looser, warmer and noticeably more comfortable with each other.
Good for: team-building, off-sites, all-levels groups, sober-friendly events.
02:
[Non-cheesy] Play
-
This uplifting yoga session is paired with story and themed music playlists to unlock a deeper sense of belonging to yourself, your body and the present moment. It is intelligent and all levels, so a room of total beginners and seasoned practitioners can move through it together and feel equally welcome. Think less performance and more permission. A grounding, restorative way to open or close a day before the bigger group moments begin.
Good for: conferences, off-sites, retreats, opening and closing a day.
-
Guided meditation made ever so slightly social through light interactive moments, so stillness becomes something a group does together rather than alone in the same room. Beginner friendly and connection forward, it builds the quiet, the safety and the centeredness that real connection needs before it can happen. A calm reset that works as its own moment or as the settling beat before play and conversation.
Good for: conferences, retreats, high-stress teams, a reset inside a packed agenda.
-
The classic game night, redesigned to build belonging. Think charades but better, plus a rotating lineup of fast, interactive, lightly competitive games that get a whole room shouting, laughing and accidentally (but like, totally on-purpose) bonding.
Teams form on the fly, the usual hierarchy goes out the window and people who would never chat at a mixer end up high-fiving over a ridiculous round. It is structured enough to never stall and loose enough to feel like recess for grown-ups. The kind of night people bring up for months.Good for: off-sites, parties, team-building, conference evenings, anyone who wants the energy turned up.
-
The cringe free icebreaker. Playful, interactive and non cheesy 30 to 45 minute sessions for facilitated networking at live events, designed to uplift, engage and spark radical belonging. No name tags read aloud and no forced fun that makes people quietly check their phones. Just designed prompts and games that get a room laughing and actually talking, fast. The perfect on-ramp before a keynote, a meal or a longer program.
Good for: conferences, networking events, kickoffs, the first hour of anything.
-
The intern and the executive spell the same impossible words. Competitive, hilarious, and surprisingly humbling. A team spelling bee that brings out everyone's inner overachiever.
The intern and the executive spell the same impossible words, and the whole room is rooting for both. Competitive, hilarious and surprisingly humbling, this team spelling bee brings out everyone's inner overachiever and flattens the hierarchy in the most joyful way possible. Equal parts game show and bonding exercise, it is the kind of thing people are still quoting back at each other weeks later.
Good for: off-sites, parties, team-building, anyone who likes friendly chaos.
03:
[Chill] Connection
-
Networking with soul. A facilitated gathering of storytelling, intentional small groups and structured conversation that gets you past "let's connect on LinkedIn" and into the architecture of belonging.
A host led story opens the room, breakout questions invite people in gently and a closing moment lets everyone offer one line back to the group. It is the antidote to the awkward mixer, designed so the introverts and the extroverts both leave having actually connected.Good for: conferences, founder and member communities, networking events.
-
A short storytelling workshop followed by a Moth-style open mic sharing sesh for folks to share personal, comedic stories. Bring your people together through shared laughter.
A short storytelling workshop followed by a Moth style open mic sharing session for people to tell personal, comedic stories. Bring your people together through shared laughter and the kind of honesty that only comes out when someone has a mic and permission. The workshop piece means nobody is thrown in cold, so even the quiet ones often surprise themselves. A roomful of coworkers becomes an audience that has actually met each other.
Good for: retreats, off-sites, culture moments, teams ready to go a layer deeper.

Hi! I’m Eli.
After earning a BFA in Acting from NYU and teaching yoga globally, I discovered my superpower: helping people belong within live experiences. In 2017, I married storytelling and mindful movement to create Drunk Yoga®—breaking yogic convention by infusing it with happy hour energy. As it grew to international acclaim, I learned to translate those same theatrical devices into a methodology for authentic community-building and sustainable belonging.
The secret? Belonging is built through play. Play gets us off autopilot and into the present moment—the only place belonging can be sparked. Corporate retreats, off-sites and conferences are perfect for this transformation, creating ideal environments for teams to let go of old stories and strengthen trust through collective experiences.
