Original Content:
The last two photos are both utthita trikonasana.
Only the first pose, Virabhadrasana I is a backbend. Actions in the body for safe backbending have to be developed first.
Students who use photos to explore their own bodies often violate their own individuality and thus their own exploration of the pose from general to specific, gross to fine. Ergo in those situations injury is often the result. Said result is often the same when the power of the practice is devalued such that one believes proper instruction is not warranted.
Generally, lower back issues will be magnified or facilitated in the incorrect “doing” of the first pictured pose. Students who do not learn the requisite actions for protecting the lumbar spine and maintaining its length do compress it and that tends to have less than profound healthy benefit.
