we through pizza parties every so often and it is well received

Paying them would be a good start. You are using their time, it deserves some compensation or another.

we don't meet face to face so virtual drinking sesh where I reimburse their booze is something that we have been doing recently

Money or gift cards is always a go to token of appreciation

How do you find moderators that will do it for free first of all? But I would think a free meal would be meaningful

Treat them for a drink or a dinner and of course a sincere and heartfelt thank you message. I think that's important. But if they prefer cash as a token then why not.

We give them 2 days and 1-night vacation. We've been doing this since the founding of our company. They all love it.

We give them gift cards, additional days off, or a paid vacation. It all depends on their achievements.

A pizza party or ice cream party. We are all down for that!

Yoga folks! I used to do yoga and exercise frequently. Things happened, getting back on the wagon. I'd love to work up to a daily practice even if it's just a few mins - but I do need to incorporate other programming as I've got some covid lbs to lose. For those of you who do yoga regularly, wondering how you incorporate and/or balance your practice vs. other types of workouts or if you mostly do strengthening type yoga in that case.
