All current enrolled Spanish students will receive free double passes to stunning new Spanish movie 'The Skin I Live In' from Pedro Almodovar.  These VIP advanced screenings will run from December 16 - 18 at Luna Leederville and Luna on SX.  

Ever since his wife was burned in a car crash, Dr. Robert Ledgard, an eminent plastic surgeon, has been interested in creating a new skin with which he could have saved her. After 12 years, he manages to cultivate a skin that is a real shield against every assault. In addition to years of study and experimentation, Robert needed a further three things: no scruples, an accomplice and a human guinea pig.

Yoga Lessons In French

Learning a new language is so much easier when you are immersed.  Alas, it's a little difficult to dash off to the south of France from Australia to eat croissants and listen to the local accent for a month, but by using your French in real situations at home you can get a bit closer.  

Yoga en Francais in Perth is a blend of Vinyasa, Iyengar and partner yoga.  Classes run for a range of levels in Nedlands and Cottesloe and at other locations upon request.
