Getting into Marichyasana C
From Dandasana, bend your right knee and place your right foot flat on the floor close to your sit bone, same setup as Marichyasana A, but this time twist your torso toward the bent right knee, wrapping your left arm around the outside of the right shin and your right arm around your back to bind hands behind you.
Described on the right side. On the left, swap right for left throughout.
What a teacher would tell you
- Twist from the belly.
- Bind the hands behind the back.
- Square the shoulders to the twist.
These are the corrections My Ashtanga speaks aloud while you hold the posture.
