Yoga English
Learn English Through Yoga
Develop your English through a subject you already know, practise or simply find interesting. Explore Yoga vocabulary, movement, breathing, health, philosophy, meditation, history and real conversation.
Use Yoga to develop your English
You don't have to stop exploring the subjects that interest you in order to learn English.
Instead, you can use English as the language through which you explore them.
If you are interested in Yoga, we can begin with simple vocabulary: the body, movements, breathing and positions.
Then we can move into experiences, opinions and conversations.
How long have you been practising Yoga?
Which movements do you find difficult?
Why do you think breathing can help us relax?
What does balance mean outside Yoga?
Before long, a conversation about Yoga can become a conversation about health, stress, meditation, India, history, culture, ageing, psychology or philosophy.

Yoga is not simply a collection of specialist vocabulary.
It gives you something to describe, explain, compare, question and discuss.
You can begin with a movement, move into breathing, continue into health or meditation and eventually find yourself discussing philosophy, history or culture.
At every stage, you are developing the English you need to express increasingly complex ideas.
Curiosity gives us the questions.
English gives us the language.
