YOGA STYLES

Vinyasa and Yin

Vinyasa Yoga is all about the connection between breath and movement to flow from one pose (asana) to the next. It is not about touching your toes, but what you learn on the way down.

Yin yoga stimulates the body deeply and at the same time it’s very soothing and relaxing. The poses are held between 3 – 5 minutes. The goal is not to gain strength but to stimulate the flow of energy in the connective tissue of the body.

ABOUT ME

I love to share positive energy, to embrace the flow of life and live from the heart

After working in the Tech industry for 20 years, I decided to follow my heart and free up time in my life to share my medicine through ceremonies with plant medicine and my passion yoga. Yoga, with all it’s beautiful facets of the path of the 8 limbs of yoga, leading ultimately to Samadhi.

I have practiced yoga since 2002. Since the last 2014 I have been catapulted on the spiritual path, discovering plant medicine, shamanism, tantra and following Hopi teaching from my teacher Satya Henkes, Wisdom Singer and Grandmother Jeremie, Grandmother Medicine Song.

Now is the time to give back and share my medicine and help others to benefit from it.

What others say about Flower House

"It was the first time for me that I did such a ceremony, so of course there was the necessary healthy tension involved. I was warmly and welcomed and felt at home and safe from the start. During the ceremony, Nienke and Elske guided this special journey with a beautiful flow and music. All in all the most beautiful experience of my life so far and definitely worth repeating!"

Alexander

""After one week I still feel the ceremonie in my body and mind. I feel a strong connection with nature which gives me so much clarity. It is a strong feeling that everything has it’s place, that you can’t fight certain structures. It feels really powerful and gives peace. "

Fleur

""It’s been one month after my sacred plant ceremony at Flower House, the journey is still on… Thank you dear Nienke and Elske for your guiding from the heart. I never experienced this clear voice from the soul. All the answers are inside but because of life they were hidden to survive. My body rejected by undesired painful and scary effects. By surprise Flower House passed my way, coincidence led to this unexpected opportunity. It took courage to enter and face it, I’m so glad I challenged the unknown and felt worth it to listen to my inner voice. I am eternally grateful for your guidance with so much love.""

Linda

"If there were a human mother earth, Nienke would be her in human form. Soft arms to lie in. Powerful as a rock when grounding is needed. Wise and loving when direction is needed. And all that topped off with happiness and humor!"

Elya

"Flower House Spirit Island has been a highlight of the year for three years now. Truly reconnecting with the family and the other beautiful people in a magical place. The children learn by observing and participating what it can be like to experience and live in community. "

Mathieu

""Partaking in the sacred plant ceremony at Flower House had been on my wish list for a long time. Last April that wish finally came true and what a beautiful journey this was. Everything was just right, the entourage, the energy, the people, the guidance of Nienke and Elske, the music and the journey. I'm still processing the experience after a few months and can't wait to start following the journey again. It brings you to yourself, you return home and that's so beauiful. It gave me so much peace. I am very grateful and happy that I attended the ceremony. On to the next!""

Petra Borst

"The Flower House is more than a welcome home, it's a sacred space where you can meditate, go deep inside, be with yourself or invite close friends. All in all, a perfect experience, highly recommended."

""For the nerve pain in my hands following an injury to my spinal cord, I started using Geranium oils. It takes away the sensitivity and sooths the nerve pain. Well worth it!""
