Inner Space Yoga

“there is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. it is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.” - martha graham

so. much. life!

oh, dear hearts — welcome to September!

gratitude — for cooler mornings, the murmur of crickets, unexpected moments of quiet and the practices that work, that keep us open, honest & available to dialogue with life, even when it demands that we drop the to-do list, put our feet up & rest.

gratitude — for all the unique & magical moments you help to co-create in this space, every time you show up, keep your channel open, or even just like, share & comment on our posts, or simply send us a loving thought. we appreciate you all so much!

xoxo, brbpx & inner space

*NEW CLASSES*
Community Yoga
Mondays @ 9am, Tuesdays @ 12pm
w Julian Roy cheyanne
you are community — all levels, all bodies, come as you are, leave belonging more to your self

“All that you touch, you change. All that you change, changes you. The only lasting truth is change. God is change.” — Octavia Butler, Parable of the Sower

so. much. change!
☀️🌻🌾🫜🌾🌻☀️

as octavia writes in the quote above, change is really the only constant. that’s a trope we can easily banter about, makes perfect intellectual sense, but harder to actually grok in embodiment practice. how do we stay current with change, especially when our bodies only have so much capacity and seem to want discipline, regular, often boring stability through practice to support life?

in that spirit, i am honored to offer an immersion into Energy Body Mastery, a living system of qi gong, meditation + inner alchemy for cultivating a radiant, resourced energy body + flowing with the river of life. 4 bi-weekly sunday sessions to help us sustain the soil of our growing community by learning to effectively integrate our stuck energies from the past + compost our waste.

wishing you all the ease, joy and laughter as you learn to nourish the soil of your life in all the many ways this month!

xoxo, brbpx & inner space

dearest dears,

all the ways you continually find your way back to heart, to an appreciation of ordinary beauty, to joy within the pain, to the grief that moves when you face the world as it is and choose to stay in love anyway, are radical, are sacred, are practice. thank you for keeping on, for showing up, for tuning in, going deeper, offering a helping hand even when you’re not so sure of your own next step. we love you. and we really appreciate you!

this week we’ve got a swampy retrograde, a spicy full moon, probably a lot of loud noises we’d all rather do without, and so much love all around and within us. plus i think the construction in the back is almost finished?! 🙏 we’re gonna keep getting through this.

thank you for moving with us!

“Shaman Stones” were traditionally used by plains tribes to balance energetic polarities and release toxins from the body. Sue works directly with her stones to facilitate whatever healing is needed on behalf of each participant, incorporating the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. Working with a central altar and ceremonial container, participants will be cleansed, the healing performed, and then we will gather and process our experiences in circle afterwards.

Sue and her apprentice Jason will also be available Saturday and Sunday for private sessions incorporation shamanic stone healing, Reiki, massage and divination. Each session is $60/hour — please reach out to the studio directly to schedule your session — [email protected] .

Sue Morningstar Shunatona is Pawnee, Otoe and Wyandotte. She serves on the board of Flint Hills Wisdom Keepers as Grandmother Elder, and has practiced as a massage therapist, bodyworker and ceremonialist since the 1980s. She has had several teachers of various tribes. Sue’s work incorporates reflexology, chakra balancing, stone layout, rebirthing, soul retrieval, and she is a Usui/Karuna Reiki Master.

whew — we made it to June dear hearts!
🌀🪷🦆🌿🪲☀️🪲🌿🐌🪷🌀

wishing you every opportunity to slooow down & sink in to all the necessary stillness, silence, solitude & spaciousness we all need for true Yin cultivation as seasonal Yang reaches its peak at the Solstice. remember that “Yin-ing” can happen through qi gong, yoga or restorative practices, but also an ambling walk, long bath, time spent in nature or even just a single extra moment to pause & appreciate the quiet.

a major shift for me came in recognizing that i may never have “more time,” or less life chaos to deal with. work shifts with the seasons, but life will always be life. and, i can choose to spend a few extra moments grounding into my body, connecting with the earth, opening my senses to the world around me, & appreciating my breath. everything seems to feel easier when i attend to what’s here & now in the present moment. full disclosure — this is still challenging! that’s why it’s a practice. :) 

sending you lots of cool, calm, reflective quiet, & the much courage to claim the space you need to rest, restore & integrate as we move through the solstice gate.

xoxo, brbpx & inner space

“The passage into mystery always refreshes. We are lightened when our gifts rise from pools we cannot fathom. Then we know […] they are inexhaustible.”

— Lewis Hyde

🌿🍄🪺🍄🌿

in a world of fear and artificial scarcity, each of you, in all the ways you show up, to your practice, to your life, to your kindred, to your work, however you define it — each of you, in all the ways and more, remind us that love is all, and the foundation of this planet and cosmos is abundance. it is such a pleasure to share space and breath and song and movement with familiar and new faces, to remind this sacred place why we call it “Inner Space,” as we do the inner work that ripples powerfully into the world around us.

thank you so much for being here! thank you for moving with us. hope to see you soon in class!
