In 2014 I bought a great place, 10 km away from Eindhoven in the midst of a village. This place is going to be a beautifull area where people can take indoor and outdoor yoga lessons. It is going to be a garden for fruits and vegetables and herbs, a small campground for a couple of tents and two bedrooms for b&b. But still lots of work needs to be done!
In 2015 I opened up the yogastudio for the public.
you can follow yogaclasses when you are here, if you Like that when there is place, do mind most classes are in dutch...
Art Projects
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Learn from others, experience dutch life and meet other travellers.
And enjoy yoga as it is in the lessons when there is space.
The people:
I am looking for helpful and friendly people who can work solitary as well as with other helpers. We open our house to you and love to welcome you.
The help
The tasks vary from gardening, construction, repairs, diy, artistic things, cleaning up after and lots more... At the moment I would love to host helpers with building skills and people with green fingers. Useful handyman or skilled people are also welcome offcourse! We are letting a part of the house renovated this summer. So sleeping will be in tents (we can provide them and sleeping gear).
Its mostly a diy learning, with google as your big brother and pinterest as your sister. Learn by trying and take the time for it.
I do expect a 5 hour effort a day. I do try to find a variety of tasks so it wont get boaring and I do try to find works that suits you.. But some works just need to be done sometimes..
Length of stay:
I don't host helpers for a long term. Sometimes helpers do stay longer. But if you apply for a spot, think about 2-3 weeks. Do send a timeframe when you apply so I can look in my calendar if I can fit you in!
What you can expect food wise:
I expect that helpers work up to 5 hours a day for a bed/tent and 3 meals a day.
You can have 2 days off in the week, but on free days do buy and cook your own food, breakfast is still provided.
Breakfast is mostly available in muesli/oatmeal/cereals and traditional dutch bread with peanutbutter, sprinkels and cheese.
Lunch is the same as the breakfast added with the left-overs from dinner from the day before.
There is also some fruit available.
Dinner will sometimes be traditional dutch (lots af potatomashes), sometimes a lot of Meat (especially when Miel is cooking) or international (sometimes brought in by helpers).
The Netherlands has good drinking water and there will be tea and coffee available.

There are normally 2 bedrooms, shared bathroom and a (helpers)kitchen and a shared livingroom and a small camping area. If you come alone, you might end up sharing your bedroom. and in 2021 probably you will sleep in a tent in our garden. So check if that is a problem for you.
Eindhoven is the city of design and technology with lots of activities,
The village has a lot of forests next to it to enjoy.
It's a 5 minute walk to the centre of the village with all kinds of shops. And Eindhoven around 15 min with the bus.
