Marichyasana 3 (Seated Twist)

Learning the twisting poses is great for maintaining and improving your spinal mobility. These types of poses will help you to release and lengthen the muscles associated with your back.  Twists will also target your shoulders. In the twisting movements you require shoulder mobility to work in conjunction with spinal twisting. You require this especially in the seated twist marichyasana 3. It is also required in the arm clasping action that can be included in this pose. In this class we feature the marichyasana 3 arm clasp.  This is featured for our more experienced students and those who are ready to move deeper in this pose.
