Why not make the most of your time and combine learning English with improving your general health and wellbeing? We are all used to dealing with various levels of stress in our every day lives. Taking the opportunity to step away for a period to reflect and gain confidence in other skills is a useful way to take a break.
At Loxdale English Centre, you will study on our unique General English course in the mornings and you can find out more information about this here. Then, depending on when and how long you choose to study the course, you will study different subjects two afternoons each week. These include Wellbeing and Confidence, Nutrition and Yoga with yoga philosophy in four educational blocks. Their course descriptions are shown below in the Syllabus section.
Students will also discuss the relevance of yoga in the modern world and how it may apply to them. By the end of the course it is hoped that they will be equipped with relaxation techniques that they can use outside of the school environment.
This course is designed for you to explore topics that include change, happiness, nutrition, exercise, future studies/work, family issues, personal friendships and social media. We will also be looking at the different ways we express our emotions culturally through language. Together you will have discussions looking at different points of view using role play, video clips, literature and news articles.
We have a saying in English that ‘A problem shared is a problem halved’. The course is not designed to work on your personal problem, rather to look at a range of emotions and scenarios to discuss the difficulties people may experience and look at possible solutions and ways to work through them. It is important to clarify that we are not mental health experts but want to use English and a range of topics to look at how you can increase your confidence, build resilience and facilitate expressing yourselves through a range of techniques.
If you want, you will be able to talk to one our Designated Safeguarding Leads about any personal issues you wish to discuss in more detail. We also have a professional counsellor who is available to all students once a month.
Nutrition
The nutrition course will be in two parts and include aspects of hydration, proteins (their role, vegetarian and vegan diets), carbohydrates and energy (gluten, complex and simple carbohydrates), fats and oils (saturated vs unsaturated, hydrogenated, which oils to use and when), digestion and absorption (how it works and how to improve it), balancing pH (why it’s important & how to help), the microbiome (gut bacteria & physical & mental health), vitamins & minerals (why we need them and where to get them), the liver and routes of elimination (the body’s natural detoxification processes) and an introduction to the Chinese 5 elements system.
Yoga & Yoga Philosophy
This course contains both practical and theoretical elements of Yoga and Yoga philosophy. Students will have the opportunity to learn a range of physical postures, ‘Asanas’ and their health benefits.
They will learn about Pranayama (breath work practices) and relaxation techniques as well as different aspects of Yoga philosophy theories from ancient to modern day, including Mindfulness Meditation techniques.
Students will also discuss the relevance of yoga in the modern world and how it may apply to them. By the end of the course it is hoped that they will be equipped with relaxation techniques that they can use outside of the school environment.
