The homestead of Miškiniškės is located right in the middle of Aukštaitija National Park, Ignalina District. Miškiniškės is known for its traditional highland architecture and unique lifestyle in the breathtaking Minčia forest.
We are offering two ways of accommodation - a common, cheaper option of a single bed in a 3-bed or 4-bed room with a shared bathroom, or more private - a single bed in a double room with a private bathroom (limited number of rooms). All rooms include clean bed sheets, towels, and common toiletry essentials, such as toilet paper and hand soap. Your hygiene is the thing you will need to take care of.
During the stay in Honey’s Pilates&Yoga weekend, you will be served farm-to-table cuisine.

Meet your teachers
Greta (Pilates teacher)
Greta is licensed and certified Pilates group and individual class teacher with more than 4 years experience. Greta is also the main spirit behind Honey, a low impact workout studio in Vilnius.
Pilates practices
Greta will introduce and lead you true multiple Pilates sessions through-out the weekend. The main focus of her workouts will be to discover the slow intentional movements for strong core, better posture, long and lean lines and calm mind. She will mix classical Pilates exercises with modern variations to create energy boosting sequences.

Marija is Vinyasa yoga teacher. She is practicing yoga more than 6 years, including experience in different yoga styles such as ashtanga, hatha, yin, Kundalini, Iyengar, aerial yoga. She is also practicing meditation and Kuksando. She is a big fan of inversions.
Yoga practices
During the weekend you will be introduced to different Vinyasa yoga flows, where you’ll combine a series of asanas for different body areas to create a repetitive yet meditative sequence. During calm meditation classes we will set our minds to the peaceful and refreshing states.
Workshops
Our workshops will let you dive deep into Pilates and Yoga practices. Here is what we are cooking for Honey’s summer getaway.
Pilates
One exercise with five hundred variations? Which exercise is it? Let's explore the fundamentals. In this Classic Pilates workshop we will explore the logic of the classical mat orders. We will analyze how to progress from the fundamentals into the intermediate and advanced progressive exercises. Detailed review of exercise anatomy will lead us to a 30 min. session.
Yoga
Have you dreamed about yoga inversion poses? Headstand, handstand, crow or forearm stand? We will go through all these poses, analyse the fundamentals and how to prepare the body for these challenging but yet impossible poses.
Sauna
In addition to all the Pilates&Yoga activities planned for the weekend, we will also have some pleasant experiences. Our friend Migle will invite you to an experiential Miškiniškės sauna ritual.
Experiential sauna
A sauna that combines neuroscience, existential psychotherapy, and herbalism. Just like any practice of yoga or pilates, an effective sauna is not just a gentle touch. But we know what comes being in it - a pleasant relaxation. Our sauna's steam will include locally collected herbs, salt, fresh shingles, live clay, and honey from Miškiniškės.
About Miglė
This sauna ritual will be performed by Miglė - a cognitive scientist, a member of the Lithuanian Neuroscience Association, as well as a future psychotherapist, who has been conducting experiential saunas for women and couples since 2018.
