Conference Wellness Activities that Uplift & Connect
We help conference organizers create memorable wellness programming and conference activities that turn networking into belonging and breakouts into breakthroughs.
Conference wellness activities are the key to creating authentic attendee engagement.
Our signature conference programming combines dynamic keynotes, interactive wellness activities, and both in-person and virtual conference wellness experiences designed specifically for modern event environments.
From energizing conference icebreakers to wellness for conferences programming, we transform standard conference activities into catalysts for genuine professional community-building.
Why Conference Organizers Choose Our Social
Wellness Activities
Conference attendees are overwhelmed, over-scheduled, and under-connected. They're hungry for conference activities that feel authentic and valuable, not just another talking head or surface-level networking mixer. You need wellness for conferences programming that creates genuine engagement while delivering real professional value.
We specialize in conference wellness activities and networking ideas that build community through purposeful play, 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.

Inspired by Eli’s original Drunk Yoga® experience, Lift Your Spirit(s) Yoga is an interactive, beginner-friendly “yoga drinking game” designed to bring people together through movement, games, and a lot of laughter. We’ll work with you to customize the name and theme to perfectly align with your event—(client favorites include Happy Hour Yoga, Espresso Yo-Self Coffee Yoga or Connect n' Stretch)—creating a truly memorable experience that helps you get over yourself and spark radical belonging.

After an engaging hour-long storytelling structure workshop with Eli, participants gather for an evening of connection and laughter at our Storytelling Open Mic Night. Each team member gets the chance to share a 6-minute personal or humorous story—true and drawn from their own life experiences. Whether it’s tales of triumph, embarrassing mishaps, or heartfelt moments, this curated event fosters authentic connection, builds confidence, and creates unforgettable memories for your team. Perfectly tailored to your group, this experience is where personal storytelling meets community building.
Education

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 and off-sites are perfect for this transformation, creating ideal environments for teams to let go of old stories and strengthen trust through collective experience.
