Bring a familiar foundation to this practice: comfortable breathing, steady feet and the willingness to pause. It is intended for people who already know the basic standing poses. Let familiar poses be chances to listen rather than push. You can pause the timer, take a rest and rejoin when you are ready. When you reach Corpse Pose, let the floor support you for 2 minutes before you sit up.
