Fall is the season of turning inwards — just as the trees let go of their leaves, we are invited to release what no longer serves us and awaken our deeper life force within.

In October we gather for two Life Force Awakening Ceremonies at Rafa Yoga Almere:
📅 11 October | 13:00 – 16:00
📅 25 October | 13:00 – 16:00

This month we are especially grateful for the magical journey shared with Florine Gabriel during her unforgettable session in Amsterdam on the 20th of September. The depth, energy, and connection she brings are truly inspiring — and I’m excited to share that we’ll be creating more magical offerings together soon.

Join us this fall to reconnect, recharge, and realign with your inner flow.

With love,
Nicole 🤍

Mijn verhaal – Nicole Dooper - Founder Rafa Yoga, Giraffeweg 10, Almere Buiten

Na de plotselinge sluiting van Gaia House of Yoga stonden mijn lessen, inkomen én mijn 80 yogi’s die ik elke vrijdag en zaterdag les gaf van de ene dag op de andere op straat. Normaal sluit ik een deur en ga door, maar dit keer kon ik het niet loslaten.

Ik begon direct lessen in De Kokon in Oosterwold – niet om te verdienen, maar om ruimte te bieden. Want yoga is geen luxe, het is een behoefte.

Met oud-docenten, vrienden en helpers bouwden we dag en nacht aan een nieuwe plek. Binnen één maand en één dag gingen de deuren weer open aan de Giraffeweg.

Yoga is verbinding, geen dreiging of angst.
Daarom zeg ik dit: laat je niet intimideren. Als je nog tegoeden hebt, maar je hart ligt bij de Giraffeweg, kom praten. Wij vinden altijd een oplossing. Bel me, loop binnen, kom kijken. Je bent welkom, óók als je alleen maar even wil voelen hoe het hier is.

Hello August – Time to unplug
We’re taking a little break to recharge, reset, and reconnect with nature. Because even we need to practice what we preach.

Hello July – radiance and inner power

July carries the energy of the sun at its peak, illuminating what is ready to grow, heal, and express itself more fully. It is a time of expansion, creativity, and deep connection to our life force – the pure, vital energy that flows through all living beings.

In many traditions, July is a month of spiritual ripening. After the grounding energy of the first half of the year, July invites us to rise into our own light – to awaken our inner fire and let our authentic self shine.

You are warmly invited to:

Life Force Awakening
Saturday 12 July | 13:00 – 16:00
Gaia House of Yoga, Almere, The Netherlands

This experience is designed to help you reconnect with the flow of energy in your body, clear blockages, and awaken the innate wisdom of your system.

Whether you’re feeling called to recharge, release, or remember who you are beyond the noise – this space is for you.

More info: www.innernatureretreats.com
Or send a DM to reserve your spot.

Hello June...Summer Stolstice!
June is the season of expansion, radiance, and awakening. Nature is in full bloom, and so are we.

This coming month, I will facilitate a Life Force Awakening Ceremony on June 22nd — a celebration of the Summer Solstice, the astronomical start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

On this day, the sun reaches its most northerly position in the sky, standing directly above the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5° North latitude). This moment marks the longest day and the shortest night of the year — a time traditionally honored as a powerful portal for transformation, clarity, and light.

Let’s come together in sacred space to realign with our inner rhythm, awaken our vital energy, and celebrate the fullness of life.

Hello May…she is around the corner!

The month of blossoming energy and deeper connection. With the moon moving through transformative Scorpio, it’s the perfect time to awaken your inner life force and return to your essence. I’ve planned some extra sessions this month to guide you there:

3rd of May | 13:00 – 16:00
Life Force Awakening at Gaia House of Yoga
Almost full – 2 places left

17th of May | 13:00 – 16:00
Life Force Awakening at House of Gaia

22nd of May | 19:30 – 21:30
Life Force Awakening Online

There’s also space for 1:1 coaching journeys if you feel the call to go deeper. A little seed is growing too… for a group coaching circle that’s starting to take shape. More soon.

I’m currently looking for volunteers for my embodiment coaching training. Together we can explore confidence, people pleasing, self-care, wellbeing, and reconnecting with your body. I offer free sessions so i can practice.
DM me if this speaks to you.

More info via www.innernatureretreats.com or feel free to reach out.

With love,
Nicole

Extra Life Force Awakening ceremony coming up!
Saturday, April 12 | 13:00 – 16:00
Location: Gaia House of Yoga

Do you feel there’s more within you waiting to be expressed? Are you ready to reconnect with the power that lives inside your body and soul?

On Saturday, April 12, we’re opening the space once more for an extra Life Force Awakening session — an invitation to awaken your life energy, release blockages, and allow your natural flow to move freely again.

During this 3-hour journey, we’ll guide you through body work movement, touch, somatic experience and deep inner alignment. You’ll be invited to feel, release, express, and remember who you truly are — beyond conditioning, tension, and control.

This session is open to both newcomers and returning participants who want to reconnect with their inner source of power.

Date: Saturday, April 12
Time: 13:00 – 16:00
Location: Gaia House of Yoga

Spots are limited, so reserve your place in time.

Come as you are. Everything you need is already within.

Hello April - Extra live session – Gaia House of yoga - Almere, The Netherlands

Slowly but surely, I’m rebuilding a community here in the Netherlands. The sessions I’ve facilitated lately have been so deep and profound—maybe it’s time that has added more depth, or maybe it’s the transformation of becoming a mother and surrendering more fully to life. Either way, I’m grateful to hold space for those who need it. More than ever, I guard these sessions like a lioness, making sure everyone feels safe and supported.

What is Life Force Awakening - LFA?
It’s a powerful practice that helps release stored tension, reconnect with your authentic self, and deepen your relationship with your body and authentic being. Through embodied movement and energy work, it invites surrender, healing, and transformation.

I offer 1:1 coaching or group sessions (from 3 people). Pricing on request.
