200-HOUR POWER YOGA TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM

Training Starts

October 18, 2024

Application & Registration is Open!

Eb & flow Yoga Studio is the ONLY 200-Hour Yoga Alliance Power Yoga teacher training program in Chicago grounded in both Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga and Yin Yoga Methodology. The program director, Dr. Eboni Howard, is a Certified Baptiste Power Vinyasa Teacher, trained by Baron Baptiste and other Master Baptiste Teachers. Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga is a combination of yoga traditions, including Ashtanga and Iyengar. It is grounded in the physical aspects of the body and embraces innovation and adaptation to spark total transformation in your body, mind and spirit. This tradition doesn’t ask the student to fit into a prescribed model but instead supports the student to become who they really are.

AND EB & FLOW’S TRAINING PROGRAM DOES NOT STOP HERE!

Eb & flow Yoga Studio is also the ONLY yoga teacher training program in Chicago grounded in Yin Yoga. Several program faculty and studio teachers are trained in Yin Yoga by Masters Paulie Zink, Bernie Clark, Paul Grilley, and Sarah Powers. Yin Yoga enables us to dive deeper into the soft tissues of our bodies: ligaments, bones, joints, muscles. This style also supports innovation and adaptation to meet the needs of all unique bodies and levels! You will come out of this training with the foundational knowledge needed to teach Yin Yoga.

What will you learn? In addition to learning Baptiste Power Vinyasa and Yin Yoga, we will build on your personal strengths to offer yoga through discussion, practice teaching, coaching, and self-inquiry. We will begin the program by learning the foundations and traditions of the yoga practice, including the 8-fold path, (or 8 limbs) of yoga. These eight steps serve as guidelines on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. We will cover asana/postures, history of yoga, hands-on assisting, meditation approaches, Ayurveda practices, anatomy/physiology, the human energy system, leadership and the key tools for being a powerful teacher.

Who are the faculty? Our faculty have a combined average of 18 years of yoga teaching experience, and decades of leadership and professional experience. We will build on your personal strengths to offer yoga through discussion, practice teaching, coaching, and self-inquiry. Program faculty include:

• Dr. Eboni Howard: Training Director, certified Baptiste Teacher, certified Yin Yoga teacher, and a psychologist who has studied extensively with Baron Baptiste and multiple Master yoga reachers.

What do past graduates say?

“Eb & flow's teacher training program left me feeling prepared and excited to teach once the program ended. Each weekend was well-rounded, thoughtfully crafted, and had great instructors. This training was great for learning the foundations of yoga and I would recommend it to others. In this program, you will grow in your personal practice, be part of a supportive community, and learn how to teach yoga!” —Mary Callaghan, 2024 Graduate

“I gained a wealth of knowledge here and I would highly encourage others to train here if they wish to learn not only the history and practice of yoga (specifically Baptiste Power Yoga and Yin Yoga), but also about themselves and their strengths and areas for growth when it comes to leadership, authentic connection, and genuine expression.” —Alyse Robinson, 2023 Graduate

"I found the experience to be incredibly motivating and the instructors absolutely magnificent. This program was a masterclass in education and changed me from a skeptic, to a believer in yoga as a transformative force. Going beyond the asanas and into the psychology of the student and teacher was interesting and much more rewarding than I had expected. I feel prepared to teach and do much more in my future thanks to the skills learned at Eb & flow's teacher training!” —Matt Conrady, 2022 Graduate

“Eboni and Peggy provided a curriculum that was comprehensive, supportive, and fun! There was space for self reflection and after completing the program I had new ways to practice yoga on and off my mat. I would highly recommend the yoga teacher training at Eb & flow for anyone looking to become a yoga teacher or deepen their practice.” —Ashli Owens, 2021 Graduate

Eb & flow's teacher training program is amazing. It spaces out the weekends perfectly so you have time to delve into readings and do out of studio assignments. Peggy and Eb have so much knowledge as well as the rest of the staff that they brought on to assist them with different topics. I could not recommend a teacher training more highly. —Stefania Girardi, 2020 Graduate

Eb & flow provided me a thorough and enlightening 200hr. Together we spent 7 months, learning beyond just text & asana but also engaging with one another as beings and finding new ways to connect. I had a blast! And deeply encourage people to seek out this studio and these teachers, in particular. —Gemma Brennan, 2019 Graduate

I am very thankful to Peggy and Eboni for the opportunity to earn my certification and teach yoga at Eb & Flow yoga studio."  — Matthew Davenport, 2017 Graduate

The focus on self-inquiry, leadership, and Baptiste methodology was transferable in my full-time job as an Executive Director. There were times I was very challenged emotionally and physically- the trainers (Eboni and Peggy) really care about bringing a meaningful experience and not just going through the motions. It was well worth the investment on many levels. Now I am teaching! Can't wait to do more I hope they have a level 2 soon" — Mary Colleen (MC), 2018 Graduate
