    First off: Great body and legs. You look quite flexible and I see a ton of potential. 

    A few suggestions before the ayesha: Try to control your movements a bit more. You move very quickly from move to move, which results in less balance and strength building. Try to hold the pose for at least five seconds, and you will see a difference in strength just from that. 

    On to the ayesha: I think I see exactly where you're going wrong, and I don't believe it has much to do with your torso. If you put your elbow out in front of you and bend it in a right angle, you should be looking at your wrist, with your elbow in line. In the video, you are placing the pole in your elbow without it being at a right angle straight in front. This results in your bicep having less control than it should, which is a real fundamental part of the move. Your elbow should be very stable and if positioned right your hand should be just under and to the right of your chin. Basically, move your elbow up. 

    Cheers.
