How to do Marichyasana C | Sage Pose in Ashtanga Yoga

While this deep twist is great for so many reasons, we find there are some common misalignments that happen because it can be a tricky one to express fully. We want you to have access to healthy twisting!

In this tutorial, we’re discussing MARICHYASANA C \ SAGE POSE from Ashtanga's Primary Series. You’ll learn the Sanskrit count and traditional vinyasa cues as we show you step by step how to find the full expression of the pose. We show you why Marichyasana C is different from the A, B, and D variations and what alignment is priority when working through it. You’ll see some common mistakes and what not to do (and why!) while also getting tips for foot/leg placement and how to safely access the twist while keeping the sitz bones grounded.
