ABOUT US

work slideshow4.jpg

Founded in 2019, Maydwell Yoga Teacher School is a veteran-owned, woman-owned, black-owned yoga school and virtual studio dedicated to making high-quality yoga education accessible to every body, everywhere. What began as a small in-person studio has grown into a comprehensive training academy and online yoga community serving students around the world.

 

I’m Brooke Maydwell, an Air Force veteran, linguist, educator, and mother of three. My own experiences with deployment, postpartum recovery, and major life transitions showed me how deeply yoga can support strength, resilience, and emotional regulation. That transformation inspired me to build a school where students and future teachers can learn in a supportive, structured, and science-based environment. Today, Maydwell Yoga Teacher School offers two connected paths under one mission:

​

Yoga Teacher Training & Continuing Education

We are a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS) offering high-quality, evidence-based education. Our programs include:

  • two complete 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Trainings

    • Vinayasa​

    • Bikram

  • Continuing Education

    • Bikram Method Immersion (26&2): for 200 RYTs

    • Bikram Modifications and Variations (26&2)

    • Power Vinyasa

    • Yin & Restorative (taught together, but as two separate modalities)

  • Accessible training for all bodies, experiences, and backgrounds

Our curriculum emphasizes:

  • Clear, safe alignment

  • Anatomy-informed teaching

  • Teaching to diverse bodies and abilities

  • Trauma-informed awareness

  • The blending of scientific understanding with lineage, history and tradition

 

Virtual Yoga Studio — Group Classes & 1:1 Sessions

Alongside teacher training, we operate a full virtual yoga studio that you can join from anywhere.
We offer:

  • Live virtual group classes

  • On-demand classes

  • Private 1-on-1 sessions for personal goals, injury support, or beginners

  • Specialized classes for accessibility, beginners, strength, flow, and therapeutic movement

Whether you’re a parent, frequent traveler, shift worker, or someone rebuilding routine, our virtual studio makes practice realistic and achievable.

​

Our Philosophy

Yoga should be clear, accessible, and rooted in both science and tradition. We teach with compassion, inquiry, inclusivity, and the belief that every person deserves tools to self-regulate, strengthen, and heal.

At Maydwell Yoga Teacher School, you are welcome exactly as you are—whether you’re here to build a consistent home practice, become a yoga teacher, or study yoga more deeply.

Your journey begins here.
