Eli Walker

Eli Walker is a sought-after speaker, performance artist and belonging consultant specializing in helping leaders and facilitators enhance audience engagement and retention through live experiences by leveraging the art of play.

Equipped with a BFA in Theater from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and as the founder and author of the internationally acclaimed wellness brand Drunk Yoga® (now The Uplift Center), Eli pioneered the wellness entertainment movement to bridge the gap between #selfcare and #communitycare through her social yoga events. Since then, she has used immersive storytelling and mindfulness practices to support tens of thousands of individuals and hundreds of institutions across the globe--including NYU & Columbia University, as well as Barclay's, Ebay, Intel, Google, Pinterest and Mastercard--in building meaningful belonging for themselves and their teams in our modern, remote world by leveraging the art of play in live experience design.

Eli has always loved helping people from different backgrounds get on the same page. Bonus points if she can achieve this while inspiring them to live joyfully, empower them with new perspectives, and make them laugh at the same time. When you work with Eli, you can expect to play, move, laugh, and walk away feeling empowered with tools to create a more connected world.
