Don’t Touch the Floor!
Once upon a time, the floor wasn’t just a floor—it was molten lava, and stepping on it meant certain doom. This practice is about reigniting that childhood spark, about moving through the world with imagination, agility, and a little bit of mischief.
A Practice of Childhood Wonder
Set the stage: the floor is lava. You have five minutes to navigate your space without touching it.
Climb, leap, tiptoe on furniture. Use pillows as stepping stones, chairs as lifeboats, tables as islands.
Let your body remember how to play. Move in ways you normally wouldn’t. Stretch, balance, jump. If you wobble, laugh. If you fall into the “lava,” melt dramatically before trying again.
When time’s up, pause. Feel the breath in your chest, the energy in your body, the lightness in your mind.
Turns out, play isn’t just for kids—it’s for anyone who dares to imagine.
