You can adjust the poses by using more support for the head in case of stiff hamstrings, you can raise your feet on a hight in Viparita dandasana, Setu Bandha Sarvangasana and Halasana. You can shorten the timings.
The inverted poses are very beneficial, however please leave them out if you are not used to practicing them regularly or if you suffer from high blood pressure. Do only Viparita Karani as an inversion.
