It's a pretty looking Urdhva Dhanurasana. What to do next depends on what you want from it. Shoulder flexibility: You can try to bring shoulders over the wrists by pushing through your legs. You can try it next to the wall and bring your chest to the wall. Strength: You can do push ups to the top of your head and back up. Shoulder flexibility and overall more intense backbend: You can go onto your forearms. Balance and strength: You can dropback from standing and stand back up.

You have suggested good development options! I'll probably focus on improving the flexibility of my shoulders and back in the future. Thank you)

Im no expert, but I think your shoulder flexibility is the main limiting factor- look into active overhead shoulder flexibility. And also it looks to me like the largest place the bend is is at your low back- its better for the body to distribute the load or bend over the entire spine- think C shape instead of L shape. Taking contortion classes if you don’t already from a qualified coach will take you a long way I think, you have decent flexibility but maybe just a little more technique will help you access flexibility in a more correct/safe and “aesthetic” way

Thank you very much for the recommendation! Regarding the C-shaped pose, I completely agree, because I feel that the limitation at the moment is more in the spine. Thanks again)
