About the
Uplift Experience
Inspired by her original Drunk Yoga® phenomenon, Eli’s new Uplift Experience is a unique 90-minute, curated, beginner-friendly corporate yoga activity infused with customized icebreakers, group games and of course, themed music playlists.
The perfect addition to any off-site, corporate retreat, brand collaboration or conference, this experience was created for one reason only: to help you foster workplace belonging where it matters most, and have so much fun in the process.

Hi there! I’m Eli. So glad you’re here.
I’ve always had a special knack for two things: 1) breaking the rules and 2) making people feel like they belong.
I’m best known as the founder & author of the internationally-acclaimed (albeit subversive) social wellness brand Drunk Yoga® in 2017—(now The Uplift Experience)—my signature “yoga drinking game” that became famous for being the first beverage-in-hand yoga slash entertainment experience for the purpose of community-building.
I have over a decade of experience teaching yoga, mindfulness and immersive storytelling practices to engage communities from boardrooms at Barclays all the way to rural Ghana. As a globally recognized belonging expert, I curate out-of-the-box interactive yoga experiences, keynotes & training programs for community facilitators (like you!) that spark radical connection by playfully provoking the unexpected.
Belonging is facilitated, not found.
We facilitate belonging for ourselves & our people when we skillfully leverage the art of play. Here’s how you can work with Eli at The Uplift Center to help you [playfully] experience, learn & practice belonging:

What People Are Saying
“We knew this experience for our corporate team would be fun, but we were thrilled to discover that it far exceeded our expectations for community-building. Traditional yoga is very individual, but Eli somehow manages a brilliant combination of bringing employees together through partner and group components without making anyone feel competitive. It was perfect for everyone from the beginners to our advanced yogis, and, in my opinion, so much better than ’regular’ corporate yoga. People have not stopped talking about what a great time they had. From the organizer side, everything was easy, and I could tell Eli’s team really cared about making our event a success — I absolutely recommend it!”
- Elina Strizhak, Director of People Operations

It’s been incredible to see the engagement and participation that comes from this programming. Our clients share that they deliver 100% in a professional and approachable style and they have utilized the hotel spaces uniquely, bringing out the best for all involved.”

“Belonging is intentionally knowing who you are, where you are & [joyfully] choosing to be there.”
