Getting into Marichyasana B
From Dandasana, bend your right knee out to the side and place your right foot high on your left thigh in half-lotus. Bend your left knee up in front of you, foot flat on the floor, and wrap your left arm around that shin to bind hands behind your back, same as Marichyasana A, then fold forward.
Described on the right side. On the left, swap right for left throughout.
What a teacher would tell you
- Bind around the bent leg.
- Fold forward evenly.
- Keep the lotus foot protected.
These are the corrections My Ashtanga speaks aloud while you hold the posture.
