I think youre probably making the lumbar and cervical gestures too long compared to the thoracic. I also dont think theres much point in indicating the spine when its not really visible in that pose. I think you did fine for such a symmetrical pose, you dont need to follow the "stretch" thing to a T. gesture drawing will be the death of me so sorry for this rusty drawing but what if you tried to combine methods from other artists?? but essentially this is how id do it. also with the ankles try avoid closing off the gesture and make sure it flows.
