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.

Great shoulder stretches thank you
I liked this except when in reposed butterfly when my butt cheek muscles kept on cramping!!
very relaxing
I'll admit, was not looking forward to an hour-long yoga class, but the physical release I got was so worth it! This in combination with the other videos on this challenge have been well picked and cater to a great theme. When you talk about open your heart I think back to the first video with using the blanket under my shoulders and the idea becomes much easier to comprehend. Thank you, David.
