Reqest for feedback on pillow

I am having some difficulty knowing what kind of pillow or pillows to use for stretchlying.   Would someone be willing to tell me whether or not this pillow is too high.   I think you can tell that I actually have two pillows for my head since it looks like the head should be a little higher than the shoulders.  [pg 66  of 8 Steps].

Hi Becky. Yes, you do want the crown of your head a little higher than your shoulders, but it looks in this photo as if the smaller pillow underneath is creating something of a horizontal step upward. Achieve a more continuous upward sloping angle running from under the shoulders, right through to the crown using a differently arranged tapered cushion, second pillow or towel underneath the blue pillow. Otherwise you are sending your neck and chin somewhat forward/up when you want your face gently angled down. Let us know how you get on with this...
