goals for the long-torso-ed?

I have a very long torso (I’m thin and only 5’4′ but an XL leotard is too short on me). The third part of wind-removing pose has always been a struggle for me. I’ve been practicing regularly for over three years now. The only improvement I’ve really seen in this posture is me not tipping side to side as much as I used to. I’m still very curled up and I just don’t think it’s possible for me to get my arms around my legs and my hips and shoulders on the ground no matter how flexible my hips are. I end up really holding a lot of tension in my chest/shoulders/abs during this pose just to keep the arms & legs in position grabbing the elbows over the knees. Teachers always ask me to roll my weight out of my mid-back, but then I just rock. I think my body proportion is just so that if my legs are curled up, there’s no way my arms would meet with my knees if my back is straight. What should I do? I feel like this pose is introducing more tension than stretching.
