Very useful...thank you ... practising Iyengar yoga since 3 years under certified teacher whenever I see these video...feel like still there is lot of scope of improvement ...more practice required
I felt more comfortable using 5 blankets than using foam and one blanket on the foam, I felt some pain in my shoulders and neck tension. Do the height and stiffness of props depend on the neck's condition? Thank you (Please forgive me if I have mistakes in English. From Vietnam practitioner)
It's good you discovered that you felt more comfortable using 5 blankets. It can be very individual as to what props suit our own bodies. I am wondering if you can have a teacher look at you in this pose if you felt pain? It is important to roll the shoulders under so that you're standing on the very tops of the shoulders but if you overdo and flatten the back of the neck it could cause a problem. I would suggest that more height is used if the neck is long and less height if the neck is short. It is worthwhile experimenting with different levels of height and types of support - from soft to hard. Hope that helps 😀🙏
It is hard for me to answer that if I cannot see you. Perhaps you aren't using enough height under your shoulders, perhaps the height you are using is too soft, perhaps you are not yet strong enough. My suggestion is to use the wall as I show in this video around the 10 minute mark. See if you can use your leg strength to help you lift your torso up.

Why am I not able to lift my torso while doing sarvangasana
