Marichyasana A

These pictures show the brutal truth. On the right side, I can bind. On the left side, I’m stuck — my knee cannot move any farther back, so the movement comes to a halt.

The right side is different: I can still bind, and my body can move forward.

The picture helps me to create a plan; the next steps are now clear. To move the knee further back, the distance between the leg and the body must become smaller. I believe that, with patience, this movement can improve. Let’s see how far I can come. I will check this position again at the beginning of May.

I will repeat these movements more often and hold the position longer. Variations of this pose are already in my mind. For example, I can pull my left knee toward my body while lying on my back — a relaxing position. Only a relaxed body can stretch. We’ll see. The first step is already done: I practiced.
