IOist to I08th week
As. the 95th week but do Vipari'ta Dandasana.. (5I6) from Salamba
Sir�asana I (184) and again swing back to Sir�asana I. For many this
period is too short for acquiring control of Viparita Da�<;tasana. Con­
centrate then on this and shorten the time spent on the other asanas.

I09th to I 25th week
Follow the 95th week course, add Vipari'ta D�<;tasana (5 I 6) as above
and learn Viparita Chakrasana (488 to 499) by doing it I5 times daily
at a stretch. It is a difficult asana and it needs perseverance to perfect
it. If you cannot do so in this period, do not lose heart but continue
with it for several more weeks.
