    Description

    I am a single mother of a 9 years old girl, hot yoga, hatha and vinyasa teacher. I live in Bologna, but I own a house in the hills with swimming pool, overlooking Tuscany and 35' train or 45' car far from Florence. Going to host some yoga retreats and teachers training. I have a small, friendly and quiet dog, friends coming and going, music and happy life
    I'm looking for volunteers from the very end of june until the end of august. I'm hosting Evolation's Hot, Hatha, Yin & vInyasa TT. They come from USA and they have the summer head quarter at my house near Bologna. My needs are more on the meals, but very easy one, for 5 days a week, and some gardening, but not really needed. I usually prepare in advance the main course and I freeze it, and at each meal we have to defrost it and prepare fresh salad and maybe cook some rice. The school requires veg diet, but we can eat what we want, no worries! You can attend all classes and meditation, according with job time. Do you have driving license valid for Europe? We'll have 1or 2 small cars to go in the little town 10 mins drive for shopping. At the moment we have 4/5 students reserved and hopefully more to come, plus from 4 to 6 staff. In the little town named Sasso Marconi is possible to take the train that takes to Bologna every 30' in a 25' trip. Also train to other destinations like Florence. If you have something to teach you can use for free the yoga room - when available - for your classes. Accomodation is in a double/triple bed room, might be that there's one other volunteer to share with (room, not bed!!!). I'm looking for both months, but - of course - your stay could be shorter, just let me know, so I can be prepared. The mood is happy and relaxed, but I have to tell that students have some break down, sometimes!
