Standing Sage Marichi's

STEPS : Begin standing in Mountain. Shift your weight to one foot, and ground down firmly. Bend your opposite knee up toward your chest and begin to hug it into the outside of your rib cage. Hinge from your hip slightly and wrap your arm (same side as the bent knee) around your shin. Wrap your opposite arm behind your lower back and catch opposite fingers or your wrist. As you pull your shin closer to your body, begin to straighten your spine and keep your grounded leg engaged. Keep your gaze focused on one spot. You can also try to enter into this pose from Side Lunge or Garland.
