During this weekend we will look at some interesting ways to better understand the self and the communities around us. With the help of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, some simple and effective guidelines for living with a smaller footprint, and understanding how asana fits in, we can begin taking practical and real world steps at living in a way that truly connects us and protects us. This is a great workshop for teachers, aspiring teachers, mysore assistants, and yoga students.
Friday evening: July 26, 2024
WORKSHOP, 6-8pm

This session will be an anatomical discussion that will highlight some key puzzle pieces that will help the students to understand how to protect themselves as they progress more deeply in the practice.

Connect and Protect: Nature
Sleep, Eat, Drink, Move, Comfort, and Discomfort are the 6 pillars that this discussion will revolve around. Connect and Protect is all about how we can better connect to nature and how we can better protect ourselves from the modern day toxins that surround nearly every activity that we do. After this workshop, each of us will be able implement small, simple, and affordable steps to making our lives healthier and happier. The longer you live and think this way, the easier and more fun it becomes to come up with new creative solutions when needed.
Connect and Protect: The Breath
This workshop will cover the most important fundamentals of the vinyasa (breath and movement) and bring awareness to the importance it plays on the further development of our asana practices. We will go further beyond to learn about the vinyasa count and how this in itself can be a powerful tool to sharpen our one pointed focus and bring us to a state of meditation.

Marque Garaux, SYC Level 2 Authorized
Marque Garaux, a US Marine Veteran, long time rock climber and overall outdoor enthusiast, discovered Ashtanga Yoga while seeking different ways to alleviate his lower back pain. After noticing an almost immediate physical change, Marque then slowly began to see other positive changes happening in his life as well. With no Ashtanga teachers in the area, he found himself with no choice but to get up early and go through it at home each day. During this time Marque also attended a 200 hour teacher training and several Ashtanga workshops and intensives to deepen his understanding of this beautiful system.
In the fall of 2014 Marque decided to follow in the footsteps of the teachers that he most respected and applied for study at the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute (KPJAYI). Marque was accepted and spent the first 2 months of 2015 in Mysore, India learning under the guidance of R. Sharath Jois. Since that first trip, Marque has practiced with Sharath multiple times and is committed to keeping this teacher/student relationship alive and strong. Marque received the blessing as an Authorized Level 2 teacher from Sharath on December 12th, 2017 during his morning practice.
Marque is the owner of Great Lakes Ashtanga Yoga which is located on eight wooded acres in Geneva, Ohio. He spends about 6 months there per year offering a full Mysore program, private lessons and workshops. The other half of the year is dedicated to his travels where he reconnects with his students around Europe and with his teacher in India.
