So much history our little studio holds!! We are located in the back of the building on the far left.

: Today, we're at the Livonia Commercial Block around 1875. Here you see a view of the village of Livonia, looking northwest down Commercial Street. J. H. Prettejohn's store can be seen advertising grain, beans, seeds, and coal.

Looking for more photos from our local past? The County Historian has made hundreds of images available from throughout the County here: https://buff.ly/fJLuVot

Special thanks to the Historian's Office for providing this glimpse into our County's rich history.

When the body slows down, whatever’s been waiting underneath finally has space to speak.

Unfelt emotions. Old thoughts. Restlessness that doesn’t have a clear reason.

That can feel uncomfortable, even threatening, to the nervous system.
Not because something is wrong, but because avoidance no longer works.

Stillness doesn’t create the discomfort.
It reveals what’s already been there.

Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes Pose) — Alignment Guide

This image shows the correct vs incorrect alignment in Ardha Matsyendrasana, a seated spinal twist that improves spinal mobility, digestion, and posture when practiced mindfully.

✅ Correct Pose (Left Side)

• Hips level: Both sitting bones grounded evenly to protect the lower back.
• Thigh and hip spiral down: The extended leg stays active, preventing knee strain.
• Shoulders level: Chest stays open and broad instead of collapsing forward.
• Gentle spinal twist: Rotation comes from the spine, not from pulling with the arms.

❌ Incorrect Pose (Right Side)

• Uneven hips: One hip lifting creates pressure on the lower back.
• Collapsed shoulder: Over-twisting causes shoulder and neck tension.
• Forced twist: Twisting from the knee or pelvis increases injury risk.
• Misaligned foot and leg: Reduces stability and effectiveness of the pose.

Focus on length first, then twist. A stable base creates a safe and deeper spinal rotation.
