LeeAnn Starovasnik shares a strategy she uses with her students: 

Remember as a child pretending you were on a balance beam or high wire act as you walked along a curb, parking barrier or log? It was fun, even though some adults may have cautioned you to "Be careful!" They may have imagined themselves falling if they had tried to follow your lead. I wonder when balancing became a "to do" versus a "ta-da!"?

One way I invite my students to return to playing with their balance is by constructing an appropriate level of challenge via a simple obstacle course created from items in my office along a wall. I first invite them to observe their sense of balance in standing, noticing how their weight is distributed. They then start with using a hand on the wall to support themselves. Try it for yourself at home in a hallway. Decide the level of complexity based on your current condition(s), comfort and awareness. Even using six well spaced items can delight the senses and provide a benefit from the stimulation to seek balance in a novel way. Once students have completed the exploration I invite them to once again notice their stance: Has the sensation of balance in standing changed? 

Look for items of different height, texture and give - foam, yoga blocks, styrofoam rollers of

I place them on a yoga mat or non-slide runner, and with the option to have one foot on the floor at any time to reduce the challenge to your nervous system. different density/size, ½ rounds are a personal favorite. Initially, I recommend positioning them in a hallway where you have the option of a hand on the wall(s) to support your balance.  Gradually you may impress yourself and go to the "no hands!" version.  Be sure to assess your sense in standing before and after to compare and sense the "ta-da!"

Take care to be safe in order to have more fun playing with balance again!
