Take a Breath: Yoga and Meditation in the Developmental Classroom
Arbeau, Denise Cady
NADE Digest, v8 n1 p35-38 Fall 2016
Teachers of developmental education are familiar with non-traditional students who are balancing innumerate stressors in their lives, in addition to the overwhelming stress of college. Stress relief methods like yoga and meditation are essential life management tools in helping new college students succeed, not only in their education but also in their careers and personal lives. When incorporated into a first-year seminar class, yoga and meditation can offer students healthy stress relief in order to successfully pursue their academic goals, in addition to offering lifelong stress management.
