About us

Black Boys OM provides spaces for all Black Boys and Men to experience mind-body healing modalities in spaces held by trained Black Male practitioners with the aim of transforming individuals, families, and communities.

ย 

Created by Danny Angelo Fluker, Jr., Black Boys OM was initially developed with the support of Khepera Wellness (Washington D.C.) , the Collective STL (St. Louis) , and Southwest Atlanta Yoga Energy Center (Atlanta Georgia).

ย 

Black Boys OM, established in 2018 as a grassroots community organization and obtaining 501(c)(3) status in 2020, has emerged as a driving force for positive change. Providing access to over 2,300 mind-body health sessions for Black Boys and Men, the organization has cultivated a network of over 400 skilled Black Male Wellness practitioners. These practitioners hold spaces and lead efforts in line with Black Boys OM's mission of Healing and Wellness education. Through these initiatives, the organization actively nurtures well-being and empowerment within the Black community.

ย 

Black Boys OMโ€™s 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is a transformative, self-paced, and Yoga Alliance-accredited program designed to empower professionals and community leaders with the tools to integrate yoga, mindfulness, and culturally responsive practices into their work. By fostering personal growth, professional excellence, and collective care, this program equips participants to promote healing, equity, and resilience in their communities and beyond.

ย 

ย 

"I created Black Boys OM because the problem of limited access to mind-body health resources for Black boys and men is widespread and severe, this due to a combination of systemic barriers, such as limited representation of Black Male Wellness practitioners in the field, racial disparities in access to healthcare and wellness resources, and the lack of culturally responsive programs and spaces. These forces contribute to the marginalization and limited opportunities for Black boys and men to engage in mind-body healing practices. The specific problem being addressed is the underrepresentation and limited accessibility of mind-body health modalities for Black boys and men. This lack of representation and access perpetuates disparities in mental health and well-being, while also reinforcing societal narratives that neglect the specific needs and experiences of Black individuals in the realm of holistic healing. We have been fortunate in a short amount of time to grow a network of 400 certified Black Male Wellness practitioners to hold spaces for Black Boys and Men to experience mind-body health, experience, education and practice. "-Danny Angelo Fluker Jr.

What is the Yoga Credential Project?

The Yoga Credential Project (YCP) is building a vision for a more transparent, portable, and community-informed approach to yoga credentialing that recognizes the diverse pathways through which teachers develop their knowledge, experience, relationships, and practice. Through collective dialogue, shared resources, and experimentation, YCP invites yoga teachers, schools, and organizations to help shape a credentialing system rooted in transparency, relationship, and shared responsibility.
