Querying class members variables with DuckDB

I have a codebase with an API to pass a SQL query to run for execution, but that same API does not provide a way to pass a variable. Meaning I do not get to pass a variable in the same scope as where the query runs:

class SampleClientClass(BaseExecutionAPI):
    def __init__(self):
        self.conn = duckdb.DuckDBPyConnection()
    
    def _execute_queries(self):
       qs = self._yield_queries()
       for q in qs:
          self.conn.sql(q)

    def _yield_queries(self):
       ...

I have tried passing it as a class member instead (since I do not get to override or alter the _execute_queries method) but that does not seem to work:

class MyTableCreationClass(BaseExecutionAPI):
    def __init__(self, df: pd.DataFrame):
        self.conn = duckdb.DuckDBPyConnection()
        self.my_df = df
    
    def _execute_queries(self):
       qs = self._yield_queries()
       for q in qs:
          self.conn.sql(q)

    def _yield_queries(self):
        return [
        f"""
        INSERT INTO my_table BY NAME
        SELECT * FROM \"self.my_df\"
        """
        ]

Which gives me the error:
Table with name self.my_df does not exist!

Is there a way to have DuckDB pick up class members at all, or does it only work with local variables?
