Monica Burton Yoga

Yoga for life

A life dedicated to the practice and teaching of Yoga is rewarded with the gift of
touching the lives of many on their path to improved health and wellbeing and
seeing our students start their own journeys and blossom into teachers carrying
the flame of Yoga for life.  


"I have known Monica for nearly 20 years.  I had the privilege of being a trainee
yoga teacher under her guidance and have continued to be inspired by her in
classes and workshops.  She is a yoga teacher of  great experience, able to
impart her knowledge and sharing her enthusiasm for yoga in a most inspiring
manner.  I would recommend her to anyone wishing to deepen their knowledge
of yoga and as a great example of how yoga can enhance ones journey
through life.
"

Contentment, achievement,

self-fulfilment:

the journey of a lifetime


with Monica Burton

Throughout my life I have always had a passion for learning, a need to be constantly occupying my mind and body, but little did I know that when I left Jamaica in 1953, my adventure in the UK would fulfil my life in ways I never dreamed.

Aged 18,1 arrived in Middlesex to start my nursing degree, specialising in cancer and radiotherapy. After leaving nursing in the late 1960s, I started attending yoga classes. Then, my greatest adventure began. After completing the BWY Diploma and the City & Guilds, I become a Diploma Certified Trainer in 1984. After consistently achieving A+ awards, in 1988, the BWY asked me to join as a Diploma Course Tutor (DCT).

My first diploma course in 1988 saw the registration of the first blind student, Michelle. The BWY were concerned about the logistical challenges. I remember saying, 'I cannot say no to this student because she is blind just as much as the BWY could not refuse me for being non-white'. Michelle was a wonderful inspiration to us all.

Middlesex
HA1 3NU

7 July 2018 – 10:00 – 13:00
 
This half day masterclass is an opportunity for students and teachers alike to look at postures no matter how challenging and which are thought of as unachievable.  The postures will be broken down, the correct sequence of how to get to your goal and also the awareness of the body and how it responded to the challenge.
 
This is an exploration, not only in posture but of self – looking at techniques, listening and learning not only from teachers, students, but of the body and mind.
 
Don’t miss out on this opportunity.
 
Teachers & students,
 
Are there or is there a posture that has eluded you? Let us know and we will add it to the workshop.  Please email Monica or me.
