BLACK MALE YOGA INITIATIVE

Mission Statement

BMYI promotes holistic education and supports and engages men and boys of color to live healthy lives of peace and calm using yoga and mindfulness as a means of human development and a rite of passage transformational experience based on Ashtanga Yoga. We believe that yoga and mindfulness is a journey of self-actualization, that leads to personal agency and self-empowerment improving, individual and community health. In addition to yoga and mindfulness, BMYI engages youth and adult minds through life coaching dialogue circles in order to assess their mind states and allow the things that are most important to them to unfold.
