Gender studies has long valued theorizing embodiment in analyses of gendered, raced, and classed ways of being in the world. Women of color feminists in particular have noted the importance of centering what it means to live in a body that has been fetishized, rhetorically violenced, ridiculed, beaten, killed (Hill Collins, 1990; Moraga, 2009; Lorde, 1980; Anzaldua, 1987).

She draws on her experience teaching yoga in jails and prisons to argue for the inclusion of breath and body work in prison abolition.
