Sage Marichi Pose Step-By-Step Guide

Discover the transformative Sage Marichi Pose with this easy-to-follow step-by-step guide. Improve flexibility and balance in no time! Step 1: Getting into Position To begin, find a comfortable seated position on your yoga mat with your legs extended straight out in front of you. Take a moment to ground yourself and connect with your breath. Step 2: Bending the Right Knee Bend your right knee and gently draw your right foot towards your body, bringing the heel close to your right sitting bone. Your right knee should point upwards, forming a right angle. Step 3: Extending the Left Leg Extend your left leg straight in front of you, ensuring that the foot is flexed and the toes are pointing toward the ceiling. Maintain a gentle engagement in your left quadriceps. Step 4: Reaching with the Left Arm As you inhale, reach your left arm up towards the sky, lengthening your spine. Feel the stretch along your left side as you do this.

Step 5: Bending the Left Elbow On an exhale, bend your left elbow and draw your left hand behind your back. The back of your hand should rest against your upper back. Step 6: Clasping the Hands Reach your right arm across your body and attempt to clasp your left wrist with your right hand. If your hands do not meet, that's okay. Simply use a yoga strap to bridge the gap and hold onto both ends. Step 7: Initiating the Twist With your hands clasped or holding the strap, engage your core muscles and begin to gently twist your torso to the right. Initiate the twist from your lower abdomen, keeping your hips square. Step 8: Hooking the Elbow As you twist, aim to hook your right elbow around the outside of your right knee. This will deepen the twist and provide a greater stretch to your spine. Step 9: Lengthening the Spine Throughout the pose, maintain a long spine by lifting through the crown of your head. Avoid slumping or collapsing the chest. Step 10: Holding the Pose Once in the full expression of Sage Marichi pose, take a few deep breaths and hold the pose for at least five breath cycles. Feel the expansion in your chest and the detoxifying effect of the twist.

Tips for a Safe and Fulfilling Practice

- Always listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself into pain. A gentle stretch is sufficient. - If clasping your hands or using a strap feels uncomfortable, place your right hand on your right thigh for support. - Engage your core muscles throughout the pose to protect your lower back. - Maintain even breathing, inhaling, and exhaling deeply and calmly.

🗣 I DIDNT PRACTICE YOGA THIS MORNING AND ITS OKAY. I’m a real stickler for patterns. And when they break I break some times. Not this time. I don’t always like getting up early. Discipline says do it anyway. Today i realized that determination is honoring your discipline and getting up while UNDERSTANDING is realizing yo ass is still tired and getting rest. Now what makes you the shit is using that understanding to CHANGE habits so determination becomes a pattern of real life habits. That’s why we practice. To get the opportunity to recognize our patterns, determine a new path and make changes based on an old method. 🌞 🌞 #MarichyasanaB is a tough pose that opens the shoulders, knees, back and hips. The hip rotation allows for that crazy looking foot placement and can be practiced in poses like #baddhakonasana or #suptakurmasana. It’s crazy though because while those are accessible they come AFTER Marichyasana in the Ashtanga yoga series. It’s almost like Marichi’s pose puts you through the hell of opening the hips in these four #Marichyasana poses to teach humility. Then it allows you to experience the hip opening in other postures with control. Idk tho. What do you think?

Avvicinarsi a Marichyasana B!

Ciao yogi in questo post e nel video che segue vediamo come avvicinarsi a Marichyasana B! Qui puoi vedere come fare la prima versione ovvero Marichyasana A, dopo qualche tempo (giorni, mesi, a volte perchè no anche anni), potrai avvicinarti alla variante B o II. 

Mi raccomando esegui lo studio di questa posa semore a corpo ben caldo e preferisci per le prime volte il primo approccio che ti mostro ad inizio video. L'asana definitivo invece è molto avanzato e oserei dire "pericoloso" per le articolazioni delle nostre ginocchia se non abbiamo "esercitato" ed ottenuto tutta la flessibilità necessaria (e a volte per questioni di fisionomia), quindi è meglio proprio non sforzare e non entrare mai in questa posa se sentiamo troppo dolore e non vogliamo lesionarci i menischi!!!!!

Una volta entrati nella versione definitiva questo asana è sempre "migliorabile", vale a dire che ci sarà sempre qualcosa da poter allungare in più o allineare meglio! Ti lascio un collage di foto qui sotto di yogi più “professionisti” (quasi tutti praticanti di ashtanga vinyasa yoga) per farti capire meglio! 

Ricorda lo yoga non è arrivare alla posizione perfetta ma è stare e sentire bene le sensazioni fisiche e sottili che il viaggio verso la posa ti dà. Non forzare, non "strafare" non si vince nulla te l'assicuro! 

I benefici di questa posa sono simili a quelli di Marichyasana A, magari un pochino più intensi per fegato e reni! Quanto alle controindicazioni credo sia chiaro che è assolutamente una posa da evitare se abbiamo le articolazioni fragili sopratutto a livello delle ginocchia! 

Io spero veramente che il post e il video vi possano essere utile..buon viaggio verso Marichyasana B!

Namastè!
