This is a pose dedicated to and named after the sage – Marichi I<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a good idea to warm up with easier poses before attempting this one. Using a stick pose and\/or Janu Sirsasana<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is said to put some level of stress on digestion. The lower back, shoulder and neck are also stressed\/stretched a lot. So be careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pose is pretty difficult, to make it slightly easier, keep some space between your foot and your bum and move your foot to the outside slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can place a cushion under your bum to avoid compression on the lower back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
