She observes that, although we have "embodied" writing education in general by discussing the rhetorics of racialized, gendered and disabled bodies, we have done substantially less to address the particular bodies that occupy our classrooms. She proposes that we turn to contemplative education practices that engages student bodies through fusing a traditional curriculum with contemplative practices including yoga, meditation and the martial arts. Drawing strength from the recent "quiet revolution" (Zajonc) of contemplative pedagogy within postsecondary education and a legacy of field interest attributable to James Moffett, this project draws on case studies of first-year college writers to present contemplative pedagogy as a means of teaching students mindfulness of their writing and learning in ways that promote the academic, rhetorical work accomplished in first-year composition classes while at the same time remaining committed to a larger scope of a writer's physical and emotional well-being. 606 $aEducation / Teaching Methods & Materials / Arts & Humanities$2bisacsh 606 $aEducation 615 7$aEducation / Teaching Methods & Materials / Arts & Humanities 615 0$aEducation. 700 $aWenger$b Christy I$01786608 702 $aDonahue$b Don 702 $aReeser$b Tara 702 $aMcLeod$b Susan H 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831877103321 996 $aYoga Minds, Writing Bodies$94318478 997 $aUNINA
