Yoga and Healing for Black Embodiment
"You have to look inside. You have to teach young people to look inside. There's nothing but freedom there." - Phylicia Rashad
We empower Black boys and men through culturally grounded, mind-body healing practices, including yoga, meditation, somatic movement, and trauma-informed wellness arts, delivered by Black male practitioners and leaders. Through our School of Yoga, we train community-centered, equity-driven yoga teachers who integrate healing justice, mental health, and Black wellness into their craft. Together, we nurture self-discovery, resilience, purpose, and collective transformation across individuals, families, and communities.

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.
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).
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.
Black Boys OM’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.
"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.

Redefining Mental Health for a New Generation
Grab the Second Edition of the Yoga Teachers Guide to AI
What happens when ancient practices meet unprecedented intelligence? As artificial intelligence reshapes every aspect of human existence, yoga teachers and wellness practitioners stand at a critical crossroads. This extensively expanded second edition examines AI not as a distant abstraction, but as an immediate force transforming how we teach, practice, and understand consciousness itself.
Through compelling allegories, urgent environmental analysis, and unflinching examination of AI's impact on marginalized communities, this book bridges yogic philosophy with cutting-edge technological developments. From the energy consumption of data centers to the philosophical implications of artificial superintelligence, from environmental racism to the preservation of human transmission, Danny Angelo Fluker Jr invites us to hold the complexity of this moment with both discernment and breath.
This is not a manual for optimizing your teaching business with AI tools. This is a call to conscious engagement with forces that will define whether yoga survives as embodied wisdom or becomes mere information. Drawing on Non-Dual Kashmir Shaivism, Advaita Vedanta, and West African ancestral traditions, Fluker offers a contemplative framework for navigating technological change while staying rooted in what cannot be automated: presence, relationship, and the irreplaceable alchemy of human consciousness meeting human consciousness.
For yoga teachers, wellness practitioners, and anyone committed to preserving what matters most as everything changes, this book offers both warning and way forward. The future is being written now. Your practice is already part of it.
Hold and breathe. The answer is in the practice.

Brandon Copeland
“Yoga and meditation have helped me see a pathway out of the destructive system set up for me that only leads to death, jail, or denial of my purpose and/or community. When I practice yoga and meditation, I’m able to clear my mind of all of the distractions readily provided by our society. Yoga evaporates the need to validate my feelings with aggression, self-harm, anger or feigned apathy. When I practice, I’m able to value myself for simply being and existing. This value is not based on any influence outside of the moment that I’m in. This value honors sadness, anger, and sorrow as a vital part of my existence on par with happiness, joy, and success. These feelings are what make us human. These feelings give me room to be free, honest and effective in navigating life to find and carry out my God-given, self-driven purpose. Yoga and meditation remind me that I am a multifaceted person capable of feeling an array of things. I’m able to see my place in society and make smart decisions to better the life of my family and community. Representation of Black men practicing wellness is important because Black men need self-led anxiety reduction and wellness practices the most. ”- Brandon Copeland, creator of Trap Yoga and Khepera Wellness

From Idea to Book
I created this resource after landing my first book deal. When my aunt asked me to help her write her own book, I realized how much I wished I had a step-by-step guide when I started. Over the course of about 2.5 years, I learned so much—from securing a publishing deal to navigating self-publishing for the projects I’m most passionate about.
