Knowledge of yoga is no substitute for practice.

I think many of my students have followed the advice I gave years ago, to give more than you take.
B.K.S. Iyengar
Regular practise of yoga can help you face the turmoil of life with steadiness and stability

I also say with backbends, you have to be cautiously bold. Not carelessly bold. You have to descend to the dictation of the spine. You cannot command from the brain to do the poses. As you play with a child, guarding the child from injuries, similarly you have to play in backbends, guarding your spine.
B.K.S. Iyengar

Backbends are not poses meant for expressionism. Backbends are meant to understand the back parts of our bodies. The front body can be seen with the eyes, but the back body can only be felt. That's why I say these are the most advanced postures, where the mind begins to look at the back.
