Marque Garaux in Amsterdam

In this week with Marque Garaux (KPJAYI Level 2 authorized) we will crack the code of Ashtanga Yoga. 

Every day of this 6-day training program will start with a Mysore practice from 6.30am onwards. On Sunday morning there will be a Led practice guided by Marque.

Next to that three 3-hours Workshops take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons where the following topics are discussed:

Friday afternoon: Cracking the code of the mind

This session is aimed to help take the eager aspirants of yoga off of their mats and into a deep group discussion. We will talk about the nature of the mind, our thoughts, perceptions of good and bad, the seen world around us and how it creates the obstacles that keep us in a comfortable state of delusion. The workshop is concluded with a talk on Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Saturday afternoon: Cracking the code of the body part 1

Memorizing anatomical terms is sadly not enough to really understand anatomy. Here we will view the body and its sometimes intelligent and sometimes flawed designs. We will learn how to view, discuss, and move the body in ways that will increase both strength and mobility. This workshop will contain strength and mobility drills that students are encouraged to participate in and also film for later use.

Sunday afternoon: Cracking the code of body part 2

This asana clinic will take the larger concepts from part 1 and will apply them to the asanas and vinyasas of the 1st, 2nd and even 3rd series. In addition to moving our bodies with our own strength we will also explore how and when to assist and to be assisted.
