Wheel Pose, Chakrasana or Urdhva Dhanulrasana is a powerful backbend, as well as a part of the finishing sequence in Ashtanga Yoga. If you want flexibility of the spine, this is a must posture to practice, but simpler variations or less intense should be practiced prior to advancing into wheel (such as Bridge, Camel, Upward Dog, Cobra...) Practice and the flexibility will increase, but consistency is a must.
