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.

Thank you David. Have been doing this for a while but after this class it’s by far easier to bind. Could you please post a class on marichyasana D. That would be great. Namaste

Thank you very much for this great class, David! I can reach the peak pose, but canˋt keep my back straight in the final pose. Should I keep more attention to the straight back and or is it ok??
Thanks in advance for the advice!

Yes, it's ideal to try to bring you back up straight, but it doesn't mean that you can't do the pose. The most important area to focus on is your pelvis/lower back. Create as much lift there as you can, as though you want to come onto the front edge of your sitting bones. Baby steps!
