English with Yoga and Wellbeing

Course Profile: Group

The first part of the day will take place in the school. You will take part in a general English speaking and listening group class. Reflecting real world and workplace multi-level communication scenarios, learn how to communicate effectively across differing levels of English and cultures.

If you prefer a 1-to-1 class to focus on specific English for work, that is possible instead of the morning group class.

After a coffee break we will leave the school and walk together to the yoga studio. It will take approximately 30/45 minutes, giving us the chance to take in some of Edinburgh's cityscape, have a chat and get some fresh air before taking part in the yoga class.

Each day you will have a 2-hour wellbeing workshop and yoga class.

Please note this is a multi-level course for B1 to C1 participants.
