keep on practicing twists, all kinds of twists (how is your parivrita

parsvakonasana?) or you can hold marichiasana c a little longer and really push

with your arm into the knee, lenghten the spine and twist in the lombar area,

where there is no ribs to obstruct the twist. then, provided that your hips are

open enough and you hold half lotus easily, the D will go too. make sure you

also open the shoulder of the arm that's reaching behind the body to bind, you

have to really reach back to grab the hand ...and don't forget to breath :)

 

good luck,

diana

ashtanga yoga marichi D

 

 

hello everyone.

 

I have been working at binding in Marichiasana D on my own for a year

now, to absolutely no avail. I can sort of bind when helped.

 

In your experience, is there a moment when you finally go 'Hurray!'

and it happens or do you think there are some bodies that simply

cannot do it?

 

Any preparatory poses you can suggest?

 

Any idea of what anatomically is tight or short, etc...

 

Any ideas are sooooo welcome!!!

 

Shanti,

 

Violetta

Keep it up...Use your inhale to extend your arm as high as possible and a long

exhale as you twist first back and then bring your torso forward removing all

space between under your arm and your knee....Shanti, Mary

In my experience-- Yes, a huge Hooray moment. But only after a long period say 8

months of Daily (6 days a week, no moon days) practice. Then its like, whats

next? Just enjoy the practice.

Dear Violetta!

>From what I have been told, Marichi D is an advanced pose and you must not

despair. If you can sort of bind when helped you are on the right track. I

had great difficulties getting into the position and thought that it was

impossible for me. After 6 months I managed to get into it with assistance

and after that I paused and asked for assistance every time I took a class.

After 5-6 months more I was able to bind on my own. It felt super, like a

huge step for me personally. I don´t know the anatomic reason but I have had

trouble binding in all poses and still in supta kurmasana. I usually blame

it on my arms beeing too short but I don´t think that that is the whole

answer...I wish you all the best with your practice! /Barbara
