Marichyasana I: Strength and Stretch
This is the first of a series of two classes that lead you into a seated arm bind pose called marichyasana I (A), or pose dedicated to the sage marichi A. This class focuses on strengthening and stretching the key muscle groups that will prevent you from achieving the full pose if they are tight, such as the legs, back, hips and shoulders. The kind of rotation you need in the shoulder joint takes time to establish, so David devotes this class to beginning that release, so you are ready for the second class: Marichyasana II: Full Pose.
Comments
I find David's explanations of each pose / posture and his gentle repetition of what to do really helpful - and can feel my body working harder but smarter through following his advice.
This was a good Saturday morning stretching class after the shorter Friday breathing class. I like the variety of the classes offered during the first days of this Challenge.
