Yoga Minds, Writing Bodies: Contemplative Writing Pedagogy

by Christy I. Wenger

Overview

This book argues for the inclusion of Eastern-influenced contemplative education in writing studies as a means of exploring the active engagement writers maintain with their bodies throughout the composing process. It explores how this engagement can be navigated by integrating yoga and mediation into the instruction and practice of writing.
