Why not just go on a yoga retreat and then go on an English language course? Well, you could.
Or, you could come to Edinburgh and combine the two! 🧘♀️
Advanced level English speakers often need to do more things in English, not just have more classroom English lessons.
We are a popular English school for adults with a high level of English. Many of our clients have studied English for years (and years, and years!) and they are competent English speakers, able to defend themselves in a variety of situations. Both at work and in their social lives.
However, many of them feel as though they are still missing something with their English. This is when we recommend doing more things in English.
Discover the Benefits of an English & Yoga Course in Edinburgh
Imagine starting your day with a focused English lesson in a small, supportive group. Then, after a refreshing tea break, you take part in a mindful yoga session to help you relax, recharge and reconnect.
Now picture yourself strolling through Edinburgh’s historic streets—practising your English in real-life situations, soaking up the culture and ending the day feeling more confident, calm and inspired.
At ECS Scotland, our English with Yoga & Wellbeing Course offers the perfect balance of language development and personal wellness. It’s designed for adult learners who want to improve their communication skills while nurturing body and mind—all in the heart of Scotland’s capital.
🌿 Why Combine English and Yoga?
1. Learn English in a Calm, Supportive Environment
Language learning doesn’t have to be stressful. At ECS Scotland, your day begins with a 2-hour English class in a small group (maximum 5 students).
This format gives you:
• More time to speak
• Individual feedback from experienced teachers
• A relaxed space to ask questions and practise with confidence
The atmosphere is welcoming and unpressured—ideal for learners who value quality time and personal attention.
2. Boost Focus and Memory
Yoga promotes mindfulness and concentration, helping your brain absorb and retain new vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.
A relaxed body leads to a focused mind—and that makes language learning more enjoyable and effective.
3. Improve Your Pronunciation and Fluency
Both yoga and language learning benefit from breath control, rhythm and posture.
Through yoga, you become more aware of your breathing, which supports:
• Clearer pronunciation
• Improved pacing when speaking
• Greater confidence in conversation
It’s a simple but powerful way to support your spoken English.
4. Experience Edinburgh in a Meaningful Way
Edinburgh is more than a beautiful city—it’s a place of inspiration, creativity and calm. This course gives you a balanced and memorable way to experience it:
☀️ Morning: English classes to strengthen your communication skills
🌿 Afternoon: Yoga sessions to unwind, stretch and reflect
🕰️ Free time: Explore Edinburgh’s cobbled streets, green spaces, cafés and galleries
You’ll leave with more than improved English—you’ll return home with renewed energy and unforgettable memories.
