About Danny
Danny Angelo Fluker Jr. is a meditation teacher, psychotherapeutic yoga instructor, conscious creative, healing justice futurist, and Sankomé ( a living embodiment of ancestral memory and story.) Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Danny has spent over a decade weaving together the practices of yoga, ancestral wisdom, and Black liberation into accessible pathways of healing.
He is the creator of Black Boys OM, an international wellness organization that has created thousands of mind-body healing spaces for Black men and boys. Through classes, retreats, teacher trainings, and written works, Danny's mission has remained clear: to restore wholeness and offer sacred tools for embodiment, especially for those who’ve historically been excluded from wellness spaces.
Danny is also the visionary behind Heal Noir, a publishing and education platform centering Black well-being, and the author of several transformative books including A Healing Journal for Black Men, Reparations & Wholeness: A Path to Healing Justice, and Defining Reparations for Ourselves. His work has been featured in Essence, Forbes, Shondaland, and Afropunk, and continues to ripple through schools, prisons, spiritual spaces, and community centers.
Danny is a seasoned facilitator at globally respected retreat centers such as the Esalen Institute and the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health.
With roots in West African cosmologies, non-dual yogic traditions, and Black Southern wisdom, Danny’s work invites readers and students alike to remember: wholeness is not something we earn, it’s something we return to.

Order the Yoga Teachers Guide to AI: Second Edition
Order Early. Available at most distributors February 10th, 2026 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.
Order : A Walk in the Night Sun Book 2
Available at most distributors January 10th, 2026 In a world shaped by ancestral power, cosmic mystery, and the fragile hopes of a people rebuilding their future, A Walk in the Night Sun: Book Two deepens the epic saga of the Orinyo lineage and the worlds connected to them. As the sacred lands brace against the growing reach of Yadris, new realms open, ancient truths awaken, and the bonds between families are tested across dimensions. Some are called to defend their homeland. Others are pulled into hidden worlds where time moves differently, where divinities walk, and where the nature of reality itself is revealed to be far more fluid, and far more alive, than they ever imagined. In this sweeping continuation, destinies unfold on parallel paths: • A loved one crosses into an otherworldly realm, encountering beings of light, impossible landscapes, and revelations that challenge the very meaning of existence. • A mother carries a child chosen for a purpose older than the villages themselves, guided by ritual, prophecy, and the whispers of the ancestors. • A young leader rises to defend the Sacred Forest, calling a million people into sovereignty as ancient technologies and living earth join to resist domination. • And an unexpected transformation begins in the heart of a healer, rewriting the boundaries between human and divine. Rooted in African futurism, ancestral memory, and cosmic mythology, Book Two expands the universe of A Walk in the Night Sun into a tale of multiversal wonder, resistance, and spiritual becoming. Luminous, immersive, and emotionally charged, it explores what happens when ordinary people step into extraordinary callings, and when love, family, and purpose traverse the thresholds between worlds. A story of epic scale and intimate heart, this novel invites readers deeper into a mythic future shaped by freedom, creation, and the unbreakable ties of lineage.

Featured in Essence May/June 2025!
Thank you, @stephrlong, for honoring the stories of Black men healing, and the spaces that hold and nurture that healing. On the good days, my heart is full—grateful for the path I’ve committed to. On the harder days, I wrestle with the weight of limited resources, unseen labor, and the absence of recognition. I hold it all. And moments like these—of being seen and uplifted—mean more than words can say. They nourish the spirit that’s called to keep going.

Defining Reparations for Ourselves
A Manifesto for Repair and Reimagining Our Collective Future Available for Free on Substack 40 Minute Read Defining Reparations for Ourselves: A Manifesto for Repair and Reimagining Our Collective Future offers a bold and necessary blueprint for a new era of justice. In this powerful work, meditation teacher and healing justice advocate Danny Angelo Fluker Jr. weaves together fictional narratives, historical truths, and actionable strategies to envision reparations not merely as financial compensation, but as deep, interwoven acts of repair across individual, familial, communal, and national life. Through compelling storytelling, grounded frameworks, and a commitment to both honesty and hope, Defining Reparations for Ourselves challenges readers to move beyond passive reflection into active articulation: What does true repair look like? How can communities define and claim their own visions of justice? This book is a call to remembrance, restoration, and collective imagination — for those ready to take part in shaping a future where healing is possible and justice is lived.
Access my Book Publishing Master Doc
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.
My second book went on to be featured in Forbes, and I’ve continued refining my process, learning how to replicate that success while staying true to my creative voice. I poured everything I know into this document: timelines, templates, publishing resources, and tools to market your book effectively.
Whether you're aiming for a traditional deal, self-publishing, or exploring new mediums, I have no doubt this resource will guide and empower you on your journey. It’s the document I wish I had—now it’s here to help you make your book a reality.

BLACK BOYS OM
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
