The Difference
What Makes Lithuanian Sauna Unique
Vanojimas
The Ritual of Whisking
At the heart of Lithuanian pirtis lies vanojimas — the ancient art of whisking with birch branches. This rhythmic massage stimulates circulation, releases tension, and connects you to centuries of tradition.
- Natural birch whisks (vanta) harvested at peak season
- Aromatic oils and herbs for enhanced relaxation
- Gentle 60°C heat optimized for whisking
- Certified pirtininkai (bath masters)
Garas
Steam & Stillness
Unlike harsh saunas, Lithuanian pirtis embraces gentle, enveloping steam. The carefully regulated humidity creates an atmosphere of profound relaxation where body and mind find harmony.
- Controlled humidity levels (60-80%)
- Natural wood-fired heating methods
- Aromatic steam with juniper and herbs
- Alternating heat and cooling cycles
