Cutting Back Rosemary and Lavender

I have several ‘bushes’ of rosemary in several gardens. The plants have become very bushy over the last few years. I really like the plant in the different beds. How can I cut it back without killing it? How far should I cut it back?

I also have a very large bush of lavender. Can I cut it back? If so, how far back?
