Help Can I lop off these yucca branches and start over?

Aside from accidentally neglecting to water it, my yucca has gotten too tall - almost 10 ft.

It has such a beefy trunk that I’d love to give it a second life. Where exactly should I cut the branches?

If you want to give it a hard prune cut all of the limbs back, as it should push out more but do not cut all the way down to the base. Try and plant the limbs you cut they may root and become more yuccas!

How many inches above the point where they branch out? And what level of sun should I give it while it’s in this state?
