Welcome to self-practice

These body-doubling yoga sessions offer a quiet shared space where you can be 100% present with yourself.

What is Body Doubling?

Body doubling is the practice of doing something, in our case our yoga practice, in the presence of someone else. It is a technique especially helpful for people with ADHD, and also works for anyone. Knowing others are present can help shift blocks that stop us from being able to get started, or push through. Our yoga body doubling sessions are exactly this. We will be together in the same online zoom space, but each person will be doing their own yoga. Simply knowing we are there together is where the magic happens.

What is Self-Practice

Self-practice simply means guiding your own practice. I don’t lead or teach these sessions, I am present but am actually engaged in my own yoga practice. Virtual online self practice is a way of being inspired to practice by the presence of others, yet still having as much privacy and personal space as you need. You can have your camera on or off it’s up to you, and you only need stay as long as feels good. You will be showing up for your own body, carving out a little dedicated time and space to connect with yourself, and on your own terms.

This is how it works:

  • I will be in the zoom and on my yoga mat for my self-practice at these start times.

Monday evenings 6:00 p.m

Tuesday evenings 6:00 p.m.

Wednesdays evenings 7:00 p.m.

Thursday mornings 11:30 a.m.

Friday mornings 11:30 a.m.

  • Members are welcome to come whenever you want to. You do not need to commit to coming every week or on a particular day

  • You can arrive whenever you want and stay for as little or as long as you need. Even a 5 minute practice can keep the prana (energy) flowing

  • You can have your camera on or off it is up to you.

  • Everyone is muted on arrival. This means you can listen to music, talk to yourself, let out a little fart if you need to and no one will ever know.

  • I will just be doing what I can manage. Sometimes when I’m fatigued I may just lie down in relaxation for half an hour you are absolutely welcome to do something this gentle too.

  • On the other hand if you have more energy and less pain than me (highly likely) you are invited to follow your own energy and pace. If you feel really dynamic one day, then equally feel free to have fun and enjoy

  • For me this is a gentle, rehabilitative space. My overall commitment is to healing my nervous system and being connected. In the same vein you are encouraged to really tune in and listen to what you need in each practice and to try not to be distracted by what anyone else is or isn’t doing

  • This is a judgment free zone
