The Power of Positivity Podcast with Nick Harris

Episode #17: From Newbie Yoga Teacher to Yoga Studio Owner with Rachel Brooks

Nick Harris / Rachel Brooks Season 2 Episode 17

Rachel Brooks is the owner and an instructor at Seeking Space Yoga and Yin Yoga Space in Portland, OR.

A Portland-native, Rachel opened Seeking Space Yoga in 2017 as a first time business owner and brand new yoga teacher! She continued to work her “day job” at a mortgage company and bartend at night whilst also running and teaching at the yoga studio - it was a lot!

Throughout her eighteen years in the service industry, Rachel found yoga to be a positive way she could wind down after her bartending shifts. It is Rachel’s belief that yin yoga can help tremendously with anxiety, detox and trauma, and she found herself looking for a place she could practice after her shifts. A longtime advocate of accessible yoga, Rachel founded Yin Yoga Space in 2022 in part to open up yoga as an option for workers in Portland’s service and sex industries.
