Retreat Space
Our traditional Lithuanian home is situated on 6 hectares of private land, surrounded by tranquil nature and a serene lake. This country house has won several awards as the most beautiful and cared after country house in the whole of Lithuania.
Picture yourself under the starry night sky, breathing in fresh air, and listening to the soothing sounds of nature.
The country house has a private lake with a charming little island, plenty of space to walk around, a Japanese-style waterfall, a tennis court, and an observation tower.
A range of communal spaces, include hammocks, a dining area with a wood burner for us all to gather, a communal kitchen to prepare coffee & tea, an observation tower to watch the sunset, a glass house to read a book or journal, and many chill-out areas.
Yoga studio & Classes
Spacious open air yoga shala aka pavilion with wooden floors and fairy lights overlooking the nature for all of us to gather and practice yoga, take part in a gong sound journey as well as animal flow inspired workshop.
The studio will be similar to the pavilion in the photo on the right (or below if you are reading on your mobile). This photo was taken during our celebration of love two years ago that took place in the same country house. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of this pavilion with the yoga mats in it, but I can guarantee that it will be dreamy!
The yoga shala is fully equipped with earth friendly yoga mats (that are free from toxic substances and are made from sustainably sourced natural tree rubber) as well as blocks and blankets. There is also a heater in case the mornings are still chilly.
13 hours of sessions/workshops will include: Vinyasa Flow; Movement Exploration; Stabilising and Strengthening our Lower Bodies; Safe shoulder, Chest opening & Back Bending practice; Goodnight Yin Yoga; Deconstructing more advanced arm balances and more.
Expect to have fun, playfully challenge yourself and learn something new every day!

Cancelation Policy and FAQ for Yoga Retreat in Lithuania, 22-26 of May, 2023
- What about the payment? Do I have to pay the full price in advance?
The payment can be made in full or a deposit of 300 euros can be made first to secure your spot and then the rest of the payment to be paid by the 21st of April, 2023
- Can I come by myself?
Absolutely! Most of our Moonlight Yoga retreat participants are coming alone and leaving with new friends in the end of the retreat. Welcoming and friendly environment with like minded people is a fertile ground to connect with other fellow travellers, yoga and movement practitioners and make (possibly) lifelong friendships.
- What about your cancellation policy?
We know that these are uncertain things, and it's worrying to plan things in advance. For this reason we are offering a flexible cancelation policy, which we hope is fair for both parties.
If you can't attend the retreat and would like to cancel your participation 35 days before the retreat - the full amount will be refunded to you including the deposit, but minus 50 euros admin fee.
If cancellation takes place less than 35 days before the retreat - your full payment amount will be transferred for future retreats, but minus the deposit.
If cancellation takes place less then 14 days before the retreat, your payment is non refundable. If you or us find a last minute replacement of your spot, then the full payment amount will be transferred for future retreat including the deposit, but minus 50 euros admin fee.
