Was thinking the other morning how Marichiyasana was all in the preparation. Perhaps because I had cut back on the Ashtanga for a while and needed to work at Mari D a bit to get the wrist bind back. Probably lost a bit of the flexibility in the twist so compensated by over emphasising the set up/preparation and get my shoulder as close to my knee as possible. Feels like a similar approach to Purna matsyendrasana, Pasasana and Marichiyasana H, all in the preparation or set up.
Not suggesting this is a perfect Mari, sure my shoulders should be more level, buttock higher or lower, foot further forward or back or in or out, whatever, it kinda works.
