so i finally fought through the pain in my arm to get the marley, but i can only reach 1 foot! 😕 i am wondering if there are tricks to this or any special stretches i should focus on? and also are there any graceful ways to get out of this? 🦇 thanks! 🌸

I have just only gotten the Marley, I didn't have pain in my arm so much as my knee pitt-ouch! But I found the more you swing your hips forward the easier to reach your feet...idk though
ya i was having pain in my right arm when trying this 1, but it's coming along. just look awkward bc can't reach both feet, but thanks for the hip tip 🌸
To reach your foot, you need to arch your back, and push your hips forward. Also, try touching your toes together (this will remind you to arch). You can also try just grabbing your shin, wherever you can reach, and then walking your hand down. Stretches that will help include back arches, or the bridge and the cobra pose. See pics below: Back Bridge Stretch Cobra Pose Yogini Back Arch Shoulder Stand Back Stretch There are some ideas for getting out of a marley in this thread: https://www.studioveena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1628&p=14143&hilit=marley#p14143 Good luck 🥂
