English with Yoga and Wellbeing in Edinburgh Bildungsurlaub

Please note: the minimum age for students is 30.

You will improve both your English and your wellbeing whilst visiting the beautiful city of Edinburgh.

The first part of the day will take place in the school. You will take part in a 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. This is a multi-level B1 to C1 class.

After a coffee break we will leave the school and walk to the yoga studio. It will take approximately 30/40 minutes and you will cross the Old Town of Edinburgh and the Meadows Park on foot, a great opportunity to walk and talk and get some fresh air.

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