Yoga and Healing for Black Embodiment is a sacred offering and field guide for Black practitioners, teachers, and seekers reclaiming yoga as a path of remembrance, resistance, and liberation. Drawing from African spiritual traditions, diasporic wellness practices, classical yoga lineages, and personal testimony, author Danny Angelo Fluker Jr. honors Blackness not as something to transcend but as something divine, powerful, and already whole.

Blending ancient wisdom with modern practice, this book covers:

The untold history of early Black yogis in the U.S.African-rooted practices like R r and Kemetic YogaEmbodied healing through chakras, breath, sound, and stillnessThe ethics of yoga through the lens of Black liberationPractical rituals for mind-body-spirit health, rest, and integration

With meditation prompts, affirmations, and lived reflections throughout, this is more than a book it's a return. A remembering. A reclamation of what has always belonged to us.

Authors Note:

"I am deeply passionate about the intersection of Yoga and Blackness. For the past two years, I've been writing a book on Black Healing and Yoga to help bridge the gap in understanding and make the practice more accessible and meaningful within our communities." -Danny Angelo Fluker Jr

PS-For Christians reading this, know that my aim is not to replace your faith, but to show how yoga, like prayer or fasting, can be a practice of healing and presence with God.
