Naming

- Marichyasana III = Marichyasana C
- Marichyasana IV = Marichyasana D
Notes
- Marichyasana poses are presented inconsistently among different sources; here they are shown as they are typically presented in Ashtanga and Iyengar sources.
- “Marichyasana III is a basic sitting twist. It will get you ready for its more challenging cousins (Marichyasana I, II and IV) as well as help relieve your back after a vigorous asana” – Richard Rosen
- For very in-depth considerations on Marichi II, see Roger Cole’s article here.
