Inner Cleanse Autumn Detox Retreat: Yoga, Breathwork & Sound in Lithuania

The retreat begins on Wednesday 5 November with check-in from 16.00. A shuttle leaves Vilnius Airport at 15.00 that afternoon (transport is paid separately), and the first evening settles everyone in before the full-moon cacao ceremony. From there the days follow a rhythm that alternates active practice with long stretches of free time. Mornings are the most structured: guided meditation and journaling, then a 90-minute vinyasa class. Brunch is a vegetarian wholefood spread at 10.30. Between 12.00 and 14.00 there's nothing scheduled — people walk in the forest, read, or nap. A light lunch lands at 14.00, breathwork at 17.00, and a vegan wholefood dinner at 19.00. Some evenings hold the sound baths, the bonfire ritual and other ceremony.

What separates this from a standard yoga week is the combination of practices. Jil runs the conscious connected breathwork and the hypnosis sessions, which are aimed at clearing limiting beliefs and emotional blockages rather than just relaxing. Anna handles the yoga and the sound work, and the music is chosen to match the arc of each class — energising in vinyasa, quieter in yin. Alongside those, there are ceremonial circles, a full-moon cacao ceremony and a bonfire ritual. Optional add-ons include a sauna ritual, a guided hike and private breathwork or hypnosis sessions, none of which are covered by the retreat price.

Anna and Jil lead everything themselves and teach in English. They work with mixed experience levels and give adjustments and alternatives in class, so complete beginners and regular practitioners end up in the same room. The group is kept small enough that both of them get to know how each person is doing across the six days.

The location is the other half of the experience. Siaurys Resort is set in forest and lake country in Lithuania, well away from towns, and November there is cold, quiet and dark early. That's intentional: the retreat is built around the move from summer into winter, with more time indoors, more stillness and more emphasis on rest than you'd get on a summer programme. Accommodation is on site in nature-facing rooms, and the food is cooked for the group.

Check-out is Monday 10 November at 12.30, with the return shuttle leaving the resort at 12.30 for Vilnius Airport. Participants are added to a WhatsApp group beforehand so anyone arranging rental cars or alternative rides can share them.
