The Drunk Yoga® Method
Online Course
A Masterclass for Multi-Passionate Yoga Teachers
You’re a skilled, multi-passionate yoga teacher.
You’re great at what you do–whether it’s teaching yoga classes for corporate teams, elementary school students, or music festivals–and you’re ready to take your career to the next level by marrying your wide-ranging interests and expertise into one dreamy, interactive wellness offering that feels like a “F*ck yes. This is who I am, and this is what I’m here to do. This is how I make my students feel like they belong.”
But something is getting in your way: The rules.
Convention tells us to teach a certain way, to speak a certain way, and to facilitate from behind the 4th wall–that dreaded social contract that says, “Listen, you’re over there, I’m over here, so don’t talk to me.” We all know it—that feeling you get when you ask your students, “Hey everyone! How are you doing?” …And nobody answers? It’s like…crickets? That’s the 4th wall.
As a result, you may be experiencing:
✔️ Burnout or lack of fun and engagement from leading live classes (<—Which is weird, right? Because teaching used to totally fill your cup.)
✔️ Inauthenticity—like you’re reading someone else’s script as a character in someone else’s story, sans the unique “you-ness” you crave to enliven the groups you facilitate
✔️ Stagnation in the rooms you teach—as if you’re not making a difference
✔️ Eagerness to pave your own path (+ earn extra revenue in the process), but unsure of how to begin
👋 If you are screaming, "Heck yeah, that's me!" I created this online course just for you: to empower you with tools to bring your wildest, craziest and most purposeful wellness mission to life…and have so much fun in the process. I cannot wait to show you how.

Listen to Jennifer’s experience tapping into community throughout her Drunk Yoga® training program.
“I found Eli’s training not knowing what to expect, and ended up gaining more than I could imagine. I'm a better teacher, host, entertainer, and peer because of it. Lifting community up in a totally original way is pretty fun too.”
-Annie Ellertson
2018 Drunk Yoga® Trainee
“This training has taught me a range of techniques on how to invite playfulness in a yoga practice. Plus, I learned how to facilitate a number of icebreakers that have come in handy for several social settings beyond Drunk Yoga.”
-Angelica Wilson,

Learn to create gatherings that
shape joy.
“Belonging” is a performance that can be artfully curated in group settings. As the performer, you make deliberate choices about what character you’re playing in the context in which you’re gathering. As a wellness facilitator, how do you help your students - your audience - feel more empowered and connected to those around them?
When we finesse our teaching skills to break down the “4th wall” that typically serves to separate the audience from the performer, we get on the same page as our students, earn their trust and cultivate shared belonging.
If you’re passionate about making yoga accessible and joyful, and of course, having fun, then this course is for you. Come laugh, be yourself, and join our community.
FAQs
-
Great question! So, “Drunk Yoga®” is actually our trademarked brand name–not the name of the class itself. And, because we own the trademark, trainees cannot use the name “Drunk Yoga®” in their class offerings. However, you can absolutely say that you’re “Drunk Yoga trained and certified”, and that your offer is inspired by “the original Drunk Yoga®”, for example.
-
Yes! The online course is digital and self-study--(meaning, you can go at your own pace!)
-
No, but experience teaching a yoga or some other mindful movement/fitness class is required.

A Note from Eli:
What people don’t know about Drunk Yoga® is that when it went viral, it was an accident; more importantly: I didn’t know what I was doing.
It was quickly covered in IBTimes, NYPost and Refinery29, CBS, GLAMOUR, ELLE, POPSUGAR, LATimes, PeopleTV & more…I even got a book deal. As it continued to grow through media attention, some folks got pretty upset. “Drunk Yoga? ...Is Eli just…getting people drunk and doing yoga?” (Obviously it was more nuanced than that🤌) I panicked, and saw a small window for me to say, “Actually? Just kidding! Drunk Yoga was a joke! Hah!” & take it all back, carrying on with life as per usual…playing small n’ safe. Alas, I needed to make a choice so that I could move forward with unwavering deliberation. Say “yes” to stepping into the role of “accidental” CEO or just…let Drunk Yoga fade away as a passing trend.
It didn’t take long for me to realize that the only reason I wouldn’t say “yes” to this adventure was because I’d be afraid of what others might think. For me, that wasn’t a good enough reason to say “no.” This journey has been a steady & simultaneous combo of “omg this is amazing” + “omg this sucks so f*cking hard.” (<--#entrepreneurlife amiright?) That said, I couldn’t have weathered it without having a firm compass rooted in “belonging” to my core value statement: work with integrity such that I feel proud of myself.
You, too, have come to this training opportunity having made a choice: to step into a more authentic version of who you are so that you can bring your fullest, truest and most eccentric self to your work in order to achieve your most positive impact on the world while you’re in it.
Because of this, I just want to say: You’re a badass. I honor your commitment and the sacrifices it takes to bravely live, work and dream with integrity, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share with you everything I’ve learned in the last 7 years of my Drunk Yoga® journey to help you bring your vision to life.
With love,
