    The Black Male Yoga Initiative (“BMYI”) is organized to educate, engage, and empower Black men in all communities. Our audience demographic is straightforward, we have a primary focus on training men of color, ages 16 to 65, as certified yoga teachers, however, we do not exclude members of any race, age, gender or ethnicity — we merely want men of color to be clear that holistic health care practice is for “us too.” While the outcome of becoming a yoga teacher also creates workforce development, in that each successful candidate becomes a registered yoga teacher with The Yoga Alliance, capable of teaching anywhere in the United States, an equally important application is that we help build more informed communities. BMYI collects data in collaboration with the communities and organizations we serve, to build successful programs that address present issues. The result is an alternate base of holistic knowledge, performance measures and assessments, which, ultimately help create policies to ameliorate gaps in health care and human services for…
