leaning
When I am lying on my side in the stretchlying position, how much should my body be leaning? Should my body be perpendicular to the bed, like the Eiffel tower, or slightly leaning forward like the Leaning Tower of Pisa? I tend to slant/lean forward which also could be a reason why my shoulder rolls forward. Thanks so much for your assistance!

It doesn't really matter how your body orients as long as your torso has good length and a good J-shape. It's easiest to learn stretchlying with your body perpendicular to the bad, but once you have mastered that, you can just as well roll your entire body forward a bit, perhaps hugging a pillow or a partner. Just make sure you don't slump our upper shoulder forward too much nor twist your spine too much.
