First yoga deals with health, strength and conquest of the body. Next, it lifts the veil of difference between the body and the mind. Lastly, it leads the Sadhaka to peace and unalloyed purity.

As you play with a child, guarding the child from injuries, similarly you have to play in backbends, guarding your spine.
