Who the Drunk Yoga® Online Certification Course Is For
You're a skilled, multi-passionate yoga teacher. You're great at what you do, whether you're teaching corporate teams, festival crowds, or neighborhood studios, and you're ready to take your career somewhere more fully, authentically yours.
You want to marry your wide-ranging interests into one immersive wellness offering that makes you think: this is who I am, and this is what I'm here to do. This is how I make my people feel like they belong.
But something keeps getting in the way: the rules.
Convention tells us to teach a certain way, speak a certain way, and facilitate from behind the fourth wall — that social contract that says "you're over there, I'm over here, and never the twain shall meet." You know the feeling: you ask your class "How's everyone doing?" and get… crickets. That's the fourth wall. This course teaches you how to break it.
You might be feeling:
✔ Burnout or disengagement from teaching - which is strange, because this used to fill you up completely
✔ Inauthenticity - like you're reading someone else's script as a character in someone else's story, without the "you-ness" you know you have to offer
✔ Stagnation - like you're not making the meaningful difference you came here to make
✔ Readiness to build something of your own - but uncertain where to start
If you're nodding: this course was made for you.

Hey Belonging-Builders!
I’m Eli.
I help wellness facilitators break the rules to spark radical belonging for themselves and their people by leading more playful and engaging live experiences, as well as merging their passions and skills to bring their most revolutionary classes to life.
I created Drunk Yoga® to help beginners experience yoga without fear, and to allow seasoned yogis to reconnect with the practice, sans pressure to be perfect. Now, I’ve designed my signature Drunk Yoga Teacher Training program to help you do the same: let go of delivering your knowledge and expertise in a conventional, low-impact way and embrace your authentic voice, vision and purpose to break the rules and spark radical belonging.
Listen to Jennifer’s experience tapping into community throughout her Drunk Yoga® teacher training program.

What's Inside the Program

What's Inside the Program /
Part 1
Mission & Values Before we build anything, we get clear on what you're building and why. What drew you to wellness teaching? Which passions beyond yoga have you been leaving at the door — and how do you bring them in? How do you want your people to feel when they leave your room? This is where your offering takes its first real shape.
Part 2
The Performance of Teaching (Or as I call it: The Art of Getting Over Yourself)
This is the heart of the course. You'll learn the rule-breaking teaching techniques at the core of the Drunk Yoga® method — including how to break the fourth wall, how to design a physical container that sets up belonging before anyone says a word, and how to use my P.L.A.Y. Method to build your own experience script for consistent, repeatable magic in the room.
Part 3
The Business of Being a Multi-Passionate Teacher
Now you put it all together. We'll talk optimal business models for your specific situation, how to create a low-stakes trial offering to build your confidence and gather material, and how to keep your community engaged and belonging long after your events end.

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, fully digital and self-paced. No scheduled sessions, no Zoom calls required. You work through the material on your own timeline and start anytime.
-
No, but experience teaching a yoga or mindful movement 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. To make this choice, I went to Central Park and sat on my fav rock, turned my phone off, closed my eyes and dug deep.
It didn’t take long for me to realize that the only reason I wouldn’t say “yes” to this challenge was because I’d be afraid of what others might think. That wasn’t a good enough reason for me to say “no.” I made a deal with myself. I’d say “yes” to full speed ahead as long as my north star was this: every day, I wanted to feel proud of myself for my work. So I said, “We’re doing this.”
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 during my Drunk Yoga® journey to help you bring your vision to life.
With love,
-Eli
