Mirror Exercise
Exercise
Beginner
10 min
2–30
Description
Partners face each other and one person leads while the other mirrors their movements exactly. Switch roles after a few minutes.
Setup Requirements
Open space for movement
Point of Concentration
Precise physical mirroring and non-verbal communication
Side Coaching
Stay connected! Watch your partner's whole body, not just their hands. There should be no leader - move as one unit.
Points of Observation
Are partners truly mirroring or anticipating? Is the movement fluid or jerky? Are they making eye contact?
Evaluation
Did you feel connected to your partner? When did it feel most synchronized? What broke the connection?
Examples
Start with simple hand movements, progress to full body, eventually eliminate the designated leader.
