OUR STORY
Maydwell Yoga Teacher School began in 2019 as a small in-person studio and has since grown into a fully virtual yoga school, online studio, and global practice community. Founded by Air Force veteran and educator Brooke Maydwell, our mission is to make high-quality yoga education, accessible classes, and meaningful support available to every body, anywhere in the world.
We believe in a growth mindset and an open-hearted, open-minded approach to yoga. At Maydwell, there is no single “right” way to practice. Every lineage and every style carries its own history, wisdom, and value. Our diverse teaching team reflects this philosophy, drawing from Bikram Method, 26&2, Vinyasa, Ghosh lineage, Yin, Restorative, and more. We honor tradition while embracing evolution, encouraging students to be curious, adaptable, and respectful of all paths.
Today, we are a veteran-owned, woman-owned, and Black-owned school offering Yoga Alliance–approved teacher trainings, continuing education, live virtual group classes, private 1-on-1 sessions, and supportive guidance for yoga teachers and yoga businesses. Whether you are beginning your practice, deepening your knowledge, or growing your teaching career, you’ll find a welcoming, science-based environment rooted in inclusivity, clarity, and care.
