Let your feet be the starting point. Notice where your weight settles, keep your breathing comfortable and move into each standing shape without rushing. Where a pose returns, notice what has changed without assuming you need to go further. Take a comfortable version and stay with your breath. When you reach Corpse Pose, let the floor support you for 4 minutes and 30 seconds before you sit up.
