<p style=”text-align: left;”>I have trouble with all my back bends where my neck sticks out like this….https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRZRuMFoYRtvNmmNb7nf6hzv-tDX0nXe7kiP6mZ9hK0jWrC8l4y</p>

My arms won’t go straight up like this.. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-LI6FonbLPi8%2FTcCjRHjzclI%2FAAAAAAAAADs%2F_hTkhYaeTCk%2Fs1600%2FFull-Bow-pose.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fbkshealthyoga.blogspot.com%2F2011%2F05%2Fdhanurasanathe-bow-poseurdva-chakrasana.html&docid=tC1fb2g2ipwI6M&tbnid=Z1frixceMVWrlM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwiZmZKFldDVAhVGTCYKHTN_B20QMwhOKBkwGQ..i&w=250&h=375&bih=634&biw=1366&q=full%20bow%20yoga%20pose&ved=0ahUKEwiZmZKFldDVAhVGTCYKHTN_B20QMwhOKBkwGQ&iact=mrc&uact=8 because my neck is sticking out.

It is preventing me from deepening my back bends. I think it is because my shoulders are tight. Any ideas of how to fix this so I can go deeper?

Hello

Tight shoulders can prevent you from progressing in just about every single pose. Before we get into dhanurasana do you think you can list the poses you believe you’re having issues with because of tight shoulders?

The other thing I want to know is where you are looking when you are in bow pose.

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
