Give yourself a change of position after time at a desk. Step away from the screen and choose enough space to move freely. A longer practice gives you space to settle. Keep a little effort in reserve so the last part feels as unhurried as the first. When you reach Constructive Rest, let the floor support you for 3 minutes before you sit up.
