“It’s not this or that, it’s always a little bit of everything. The question you should be asking is why are you seeing this truth, instead of the one that makes you happy? The point of everything is joy, and yoga serves you so that you can live a joyful life. You don’t serve yoga, and it doesn’t owe you anything.” - Eli Walker

I’m so excited to be bringing you this episode of Brave By Design, where I speak with a powerful woman whose mission is to challenge social norms and provide you with tools for self-empowerment to cultivate personal joy. 

Eli Walker originally created Divine Your Story™ in the summer of 2017 as a teaching method to help individuals rethink their relationship with joy. She deployed this in the form of yoga retreats, workshops, and one-on-one Happiness Consulting.

Later in 2017, she launched her second company, Drunk Yoga®, which quickly rose to international acclaim. As a result of its swift success, she shifted her focus to pioneering a new genre of yoga that “intoxicated” convention by infusing the practice with the social ritual of a happy hour for the purpose of igniting joy through tangible connection to community.
