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.

Several program faculty and studio teachers are trained in Yin Yoga by Masters Paulie Zink, Bernie Clark, Paul Grilley, and Sarah Powers.

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.

What do past graduates say?
"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
"....When beginning [teacher training], I was not sure if I wanted to teach, but just wanted to explore my own personal practice and learn more about yoga....Through their training program I became confident in not only my own practice, my body, and my yoga journey, but in my possibility to teach as well- and my love for teaching grew and grew throughout the program. This experience not only prepared me and ignited a passion for teaching, but also transformed my life.

Most importantly, I was ready to teach once it ended. This truly was a wonderful experience and life-changing." — Natalie Eubank, 2018 Graduate
"Signing up for the Baptiste Power Vinyasa TT at Eb & Flow just felt right. I made some friends who are very special to me, I gained a solid foundation that prepared me to audition immediately after graduation.

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

"I came in with the expectation to deepen my practice and left with a life-transforming experience. 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
