Yoga among Kampen's Dunes
Kampen is located in the north of the North Sea island of Sylt — part of the municipality of Sylt in the district of Nordfriesland in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. The elegant and sophisticated town is famous for its red cliffs, white beaches, upscale gastronomy, and a clientele ranging from regular yoga studio attendees to Hamburg families and international Sylt holidaymakers. This exact clientele is the target group for the YO DAY Festival.
13 Hours of Programming
The festival runs from 9 AM until after 10 PM — 13 hours of programming in the spacious Avenarius Park on Kampen's Wadden Sea path. On several yoga areas with the backdrop of Sylt's dunes, 15 certified yoga teachers offer a diverse program with 22 workshops:
- Hatha Yoga — classic yoga practice
- Vinyasa Yoga — flowing movement sequences
- Yin Yoga — relaxing, long-held poses
- Pilates — body stability and movement
- Qi Gong — Chinese movement meditation
- Meditation — mindfulness and mental practice
- Acrobatic Yoga (AcroYoga) — partner yoga with acrobatic elements

A Sylt Festival Tradition
The YO DAY clearly positions itself within Sylt's wellness and movement scene — alongside beach courses, yoga retreats in Kampen-Wenningstedt, and the island hotels' classic spa offerings. Organizers are Halima Elkasmi, Felicitas Sehlert, and Imke Wein. The aim: a festival for beginners and advanced practitioners, for island guests and locals alike.
