Thoughts from the cybershala?

Just finished up a lovely practice. Sunday is a good day to take some video — weekday practices happen when it’s too dark to get good images, plus there are time limitations.

Anyhow. Urdhva dhanurasanas. Five. The Annie P limit. The good news: I have tons of room for more extension through my legs and tons of room for more bend in my back. The legs and back feel like there is all sorts of space to move more deeply into the pose. The catch? My arms. My shoulders.

Is there something someone can see here? I feel like my arms rotate in the wrong direction, but I can’t seem to pinpoint how to solve for it… My legs and back are ready to move into the pose more fully, but somehow my arms are gumming it up.

I’m curious to hear thoughts. Even if the thought is simply that I just need to be patient.
