How To Learn English Easily
And Enjoy The Experience!

| Mariko, Bruna and Lilli |
As part of
the 30+ course we had a yoga class taken by one of our students, Bruna. Bruna
is from Brazil, and is studying at LSI/IH Portsmouth to improve her English before she starts
a yoga teaching qualification in London. What better way to prepare, than
teaching her first ever yoga class? The other students had never done yoga
before, but were very keen to give it a go. So, we converted our classroom with
a set of LSI/IH Portsmouth yoga mats, and put on our gym clothes in excited anticipation for
Bruna’s instruction.
What followed
was beyond anything we could have imagined. Bruna led us through a set of
beginner yoga positions like the cobra, the mountain pose and the down dog for
an hour. As I had never done yoga before I was surprised at how difficult it
was, and how inflexible I am. Despite this, I found it really positive for my
mind and body. Also, it was the first time I had taught a class whilst laying
on a mat, standing on one foot, or doing stomach crunches. This was also
rewarding, as it meant we were learning language in a real life context, and we
managed to improve our use of imperatives and prepositions.

to share something I love with my classmates and teacher made me incredibly
happy, and very satisfied with LSI/IH Portsmouth.” (Bruna, from Brazil)

“My knowledge
of yoga was completely overturned after my first lesson. I thought yoga was to
relax and to find your balance. In fact, it’s hard work. But I felt very well
after that and it awakened an interest for yoga in me and just feeling your
body. I like it!” (Mariko, from Japan)

“I have done
yoga for the last six years. Actually yoga is a good way to release your mind
after working or studying a lot. During this class you learn a lot of
vocabulary of the whole body, you relax your mind and have a stretching
workout. I suggest that everyone tries yoga.” (Lisa, from Germany)
