Hello
My name is Mary Griffiths
I am a qualified ESOL teacher with 16 years experience teaching Entry Level adults in London colleges. I left my college job last year and now teach yoga. I am writing and recording yoga classes for ESOL students to help them with English grammar, vocabulary and fluency.
If you are a non native English speaker (any level) and would like to be part of this exciting project please let me know. I am looking for volunteers to help me trial the course before it goes on sale.
You are invited to join my private Facebook Group: ESOL Yoga where I will be posting updates about the live sessions and useful resources. Use the group to talk and interact with each other.
