SALUTE THE SUN YOGA FESTIVAL 2025 - we remember the celebration of Yoga Day by the sea!
The sun, the sound of the waves, and our shared energy on the mats… That June morning in Jastarnia will stay with us for a long time (how quickly those two months have flown by…). The memories of the Salute the Sun festival are still very vivid for us, and we hope they are for you too!
On June 29th, to celebrate World Yoga Day, we gathered at one of the most beautiful spots on the Hel coast (at @foodport_jastarnia ) to celebrate what we love . It was a truly wonderful day, and we want to relive it with you.

Our day full of yoga and relaxation in Jastarnia with JOYINME
We wanted our time together to be a journey through various forms of movement and breathing , in which everyone could find something for themselves . We started very calmly, and with each hour we awoke more and more energy together. The whole experience had its own natural rhythm, for which we are totally grateful – from a gentle morning, through a dynamic afternoon, to a calming afternoon.
What happened?
-
Morning Calm - We welcomed the day with a meditation and breathing session with Ania Dziewulska ( @yoga_by_annamari ), and then Julia Szynkiewicz ( @hand.to.toe ) smoothly eased us into the day with a Slow Yoga practice. It was a much-needed, gentle introduction to the festival Sunday.
-
A noon full of energy - As the sun rose higher, we kicked into high gear too! Iga Majewska from Warsaw Pilates ( @warsawpilates ) gave us a lot of positive energy, and Daria Bogdanowicz ( @daria.bogdanowicz.yoga ) took us on a vortex of Yoga Creative Flow.
-
An afternoon by the sea - And now the moment many have been waiting for: practice on the beach (entrance no. 49!), with sand beneath our feet. Our Paulina Niedzielska ( @paulinaniedzielska_joyinme ) led us through a Yoga Feel the JOY session, and Malwina Kośka ( @malwina.koska ) took us on an interesting journey during Psychedelic Breath.
-
Moments for Community - Yoga isn't just about asanas, but also, and perhaps above all, about people. Coffee breaks, lunch, and conversations at Food Port Jastarnia were just as important as time on the mat. Your smiles and openness created the atmosphere that day.
What made this edition of the festival so special for us?
Several elements came together – a well-prepared program, beautiful surroundings, and the people who create this atmosphere – you and our partners.
Variety of practices and great instructors
We wanted the program to be rich and diverse, so everyone could find something for themselves. This was achieved thanks to our instructors, whom we would like to thank once again for their incredible commitment and the energy they shared with us.
Yoga by the sea – the power of nature
There's something special about practicing with a sea view. The sound of the waves helped calm my breathing, and the open space allowed me to truly unwind. Our Hel base was a great place to take a break , and spending time together on the sand was simply pure pleasure.
Partners who create an unforgettable atmosphere
This event wouldn't have been as it was without our partners, with whom we share a similar perspective on conscious living. Thank you for joining us!
Thanks to Rituals Cosmetics, we were able to nurture our senses and indulge in a moment of relaxation. Małgosia Braunek's "Bądź" Foundation reminded us of the importance of harmony between body and mind.
You could read about our event in Elle and hear about it on the podcast series Rozmowy Chillizet . We enjoyed sweet snacks from N!CK'S ( @nicks.poland ) and equally delicious, but more savory ones from Felix . Thank you for your support from the bottom of our hearts, and we hope to see you again (wink 😉)!
