Marichyasana II: Full Pose
This is the second in a 2-part series designed to move you into marichyasana I or A. Following on from what you learned in Marichyasana I: Strength and Stretch, this is a thorough, full-length hatha yoga class that will release the key muscle groups that need to be stretched in order to move into this wonderful, seated arm bind. The hamstrings, shoulders, back and hips are major areas of focus, as is a gentle, careful approach.
Comments
I consider myself advanced beginner - I can do a lot of the intermediate poses but appreciate going back to the basics. I really enjoy your detailed instructions - almost as if you are doing hands-on adjustments.
Thank you for those little instructions (like flexing toes, bringing elbows together, brings thighs together, etc.), which is helping me create openness that I never knew existed (and I have done yoga for some years now).
Holy crow David! I think the last time my body was twisted like that was about 1964 in junior high wrestling. (Just before I got pinned.) Brought back memories...
