About Us

Hi, I’m Joellen Wunner, the owner and creator of The Salty Yoga Society. This brand is a reflection of my personal journey—a fusion of yoga and cold plunge culture brought to life by apparel designed to remind you of your fullest potential and make you feel f*cking good about your accomplishments and life choices.

The Salty Yoga Society is more than just a brand; it’s a community of like-minded people who embrace the mental toughness of physical challenge, the rewards of mind-body connection, and honor the light in each other without question. Each collection has a unique story and each class taught has years of experience behind it. All of which is crafted with intention, and I wait to share it with you!

My passion for fitness and well-being began early. As a former high-level gymnast, I developed a lifelong love for pushing my body and mind to new limits. But it wasn’t until 2016, after a traumatic divorce, that I truly discovered the healing power of yoga—specifically, heated yoga. By that time, I had been practicing and teaching yoga for nearly a decade, but I dove deeper into the practice as a therapeutic tool to release trapped energy and create space for emotional healing. This, combined with intense EMDR therapy, accelerated my personal transformation, bringing in new energy, peace, and growth I had never known.

In 2023, I discovered cold plunge therapy—and it was the missing piece I needed to connect my mental and physical strength. The power of your mind is vast, and embracing the challenge of cold plunging has been life-changing. It helped me tap into a part of myself that had been dormant, propelling me to step into The Salty Yoga Society with a renewed sense of purpose, passion, and drive.

At The Salty Yoga Society, we believe in the incredible ability of the human body and mind to heal and evolve. Our approach is designed to help you break free from anxiety, clear brain fog, improve your mood and energy levels, and reconnect with your inner strength. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or simply a more grounded approach to life, we’re here to support you on the journey to embracing the best version of yourself. Live yoga classes, 1:1 coaching, subscription-based learning, and more exciting offerings are coming soon!

This brand is more than just a business—it’s my story, my healing, and my commitment to sharing so others know the power within themselves. Join me on this journey, follow along on Instagram, and spread the love by sharing the word about The Salty Yoga Society. I hope to see you on the mat for a groovy yoga class, at the ocean’s edge for a dip, or rocking some gear with pride one day! Please know that I am deeply grateful for your support.

Namaste – The light in me honors and sees the light in you.
