ABOUT SSY
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to remove the stigma and stereotype that yoga is for a particular demographic or population. We are committed to accepting you as you are and nothing less.
Seeking Space Yoga is a judgement-free all welcoming studio focused on your health and relaxation through mindfulness and movement. Body positivity, gender inclusion and ethnic diversity is the baseline of our core existence and we seek to create a welcoming environment for everyone.
MEET THE OWNER
RACHEL BROOKS
Rachel Brooks is the owner and an instructor at Seeking Space Yoga in SW Portland and Yin Yoga Space in Central Eastside PDX. A Portland-native and longtime advocate of accessible yoga, Rachel co-founded Seeking Space in part to open up yoga as an option for workers in Portland’s service and sex industries.
It’s Rachel’s belief that yoga can help tremendously with anxiety, detox and trauma and throughout her eighteen years in the service industry, Rachel found yoga to be a positive way she could wind down after shifts. She found herself looking for a place she could practice after her shifts and, seeing no existing options, decided to take a leap of faith and Seeking Space Yoga was born.
