European Certification

Enrolment for the training can take place at any time, however a minimum of 10 weeks is recommended prior to each

compulsory face to face practicum to complete the online study component of the training.

 

The course is designed to be flexible to aid individual needs and learning styles.

The online home study assessments can be completed in 2, 4, 6, or 12 months to support the students lifestyle eg. working or parenting fulltime, lending a more relaxed approach to the theory and practise of Yogalates if needed as we know life can be full at times.

We allow for a minimum of 75% of home study to be completed prior to the practicum.

Once all assessments are competently completed the Certificate will be issued.

Arrival Details

 

Check In & Departure Times:

Arrive on the Friday anytime before orientation. Complementary dinner and orientation will be at 7pm.

 

The Teacher Training will conclude on the Saturday afternoon usually 4pm.

 

For departure, anytime before 10am Sunday; Breakfast will be available; there will be no class on the Sunday.

 

Flights:

The most direct flights are in to Florence; Pisa could be cheaper to fly in to, but a more of a curvy and longer road to drive. Rome and Milano are possible, but it would be a much longer and complicated trip to get to Belcanto B&B. We find most retreat guests fly into Florence or Pisa.

 

Travel options:

Belcanto is located in the countryside as you can see from the 

Website:  www.belcanto-beb.it

Click on the English flag, then Location, you'll see where it is on the Tuscany map, with its directions. The nearest village is Radicondoli, it is about half an hour walk

(up a hill to get there, a fun walk back!) or 5 minute drive. There are beautiful sites all around so a car would be needed unless one wants to stay and relax and get some occasional rides for meals or to buy groceries (which some guests choose to do).

 

Car Rentals:

The best way to rent a car is to rent it from where you arrive or check if there are any deals with your flight. Depending on the number of guests that arrive around the same time; you could rent a van or a vehicle holding 9-10 people, to share the rides and price.

From Florence airport to Belcanto it is 1 hour and 20 minutes, from Pisa 2 hours.

 

Alternatively: 

One can either take a taxi from the airport or be picked up from a private vehicle, from Florence airport it is EU 120 from the Florence station 100 EU, while from Pisa around EU 160.

 

Another possibility is when you arrive at the airport; get a taxi or bus (buses leave every ½ hour to an hour from the Florence Airport to the Florence train station). You can get a bus to Poggibonsi where we can organize for you to be picked up .

 

When you arrive at the Florence station, come out from the station to your right, cross the road at the traffic light, go left and just behind the corner is the SITA bus station which will take you to Poggibonsi. You need to get off at the Co Op ( shopping centre) in Poggibonsi.

 

There is a train from Pisa to Empoli and from Empoli to Poggibonsi; Information is available on the internet or at the arrivals in Pisa airport. The train normally goes to Florence, but stops in Empoli and there you need to change over to Poggibonsi. There is only one bus from Pisa airport to Poggibonsi. You can buy the ticket at the information desk and it departs at 1pm and arrives in Poggibonsi at 2.20pm.

 

Transfers can be organised from Poggibonsi to Il Bel Canto at a cost of 40 EU.

 

Please see the train and bus timetable attached or more information is available on the Pisa airport website.

If you arrive in Florence, there is a shuttle bus that will take you to the railway station ; where you can locate the bus to take you to Poggibonsi

40 euros from Poggibonsi
