Black Boy Joy Yoga | 9/16, 10/21 & 11/11 at 8:30 am | Union Station Streetcar Stop | Khyneesha Edwards, 2023 Art in the Loop Visual Artist, invites you to take part in Black Boy Joy Yoga!
Black boys and men deserve healing, so let’s heal together – claiming joy is a great place to start! Khyneesha Edwards, graphic designer and 2023 Art in the Loop Visual Artist, invites Black men and boys across Kansas City to take part in Black Boy Joy Yoga. This event was created to be a safe space for Black men and boys as they practice mindfulness and prioritize wellness, with the ‘Black Boy Joy’ streetcar art as a backdrop.
Black Boy Joy Yoga will be led by yogi, Joshua Davis. This beginner-friendly session will include breath work, meditation, grounding poses, and guiding commentary about claiming joy. The minimum age to participate is 5 years old. Children 5-12 must be accompanied by a guardian.
A few other things to note:
Dress in cool, breathable clothing
Water will be provided, but we suggest bringing a water bottle for backup hydration
Don’t forget your own yoga mat! If you don’t have a yoga mat, a firm rug or thick blanket will do. We’ll have a few extra yoga mats on hand, but we can’t guarantee enough for everyone.
Come with an open heart and an open mind! Yoga is about finding and embracing home, peace, power and joy within yourself, in whatever way that looks like for you.
