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.

Thanks Dave! this was so good. I loved the instructions and was amazed by how effective a subtle change of ''pressing the lower back against the hands'' can make such a difference. That was a new one for me. Much appreciated.
Was super excited to start this yoga practice but holy cow this is hardly beginner. Your commentary is solid helped a ton but I'm just so freakin overwhelmed with trying to do what I'm supposed to do. Like okay stretch & ground this & also move this that way while holding this stretch but still just relax & breathe. Just couldn't do it. Probably not the best video to jump into yoga with to be honest. Will come back after more practice.
Such a great class! Fits perfectly after a morning run :)
