Don't bend the body. Then sway back to standing position. Then sway backward, keeping feet flat on the floor and the body straight, until the weight is entirely on the heels; from that sway forward to position.

Be very careful not to sway backward in coming down, and you will find yourself in the exact poise of standing position. Also do the same from speaker's position, rising on one foot.
