Setting: Your corner of time and space
Sound: the Doctor Who theme song
Props: Sonic screwdriver to hold high, Jelly babies to give to passersby
After you are settled into the mind of a Time Lord, follow along through the poses below… pausing whenever you like, since this flow is timey wimey wibbly wobbly….
Mountain pose
In the TARDIS, at the door. The vista of space and infinite stars is in front of you. You are ready to explore it all, ready to help where needed.
Reach arms up overhead then forward fold
Narrow your focus down to just one planet. Materialize your TARDIS where you think it wants to go.
Downward facing dog
Lean into that planet and consider: is it aliens? What kind of aliens? Pedal your feet as you let them it’s a category 5 civilization, protected under the Shadow Proclamation.
Lift left leg high up
Think of a brilliant plan with the sonic screwdriver and reach up to it.
Pull left leg through between hands
That plan was rubbish. Reverse polarity.
Forward Lunge with arms up
Ask for help from your companion, who knew better in the first place.
Plank
Prepare for new plan by pushing away preconceived notions of what life and humanity is–aliens maybe meant well.
Chataranga
Lower yourself slowly down into new point of view.
Upward facing dog
Look around and check out new threat – wait are those Daleks over there?
Downward facing dog
Laser focus on pretending you have a plan to defeat Daleks.
Lift right leg up
Prepare anti-Dalek button of some kind
Pull right leg through hands
Dalek button pushed, they explode
Forward Lunge with arms up
Deliver incredible speech with truths that amazes everyone!
Pull left foot forward
World is saved and everyone enlightened.

Be grateful you didn’t have to regenerate this time
Mountain pose
Back to staring from the TARDIS into the infinite abyss
