Body practices are a significant part of training and important therapeutic resources used by occupational therapists. In order for these practices to be learned, it is necessary to understand the application of the different techniques and the different dimensions and relationships of these with the body. Thus, the teaching of body practices in the context of the pandemic has brought challenges and learnings. Objective: To reflect on remote teaching during the discipline of Occupational Therapy and Body Practices II in the Occupational Therapy Course at the University of São Paulo, capital campus. Method: Experience report of remote teaching of the discipline during the Covid-19 pandemic period. Results: Students learned content, methods and applied them under supervision to their family/friends, but the remote teaching of body practices is far from expected. Most students evaluated the offer of the discipline as positive, specialy the use of digital tools and strategies to learn to take care of themselves and the others. However, there were inequalities in access to remote teaching and housing conditions for participation in the discipline. Conclusion: Although the discipline has achieved its objectives, allowing spaces for care in the pandemic period, there were losses in the teaching and learning process.
