Find Calm and Renewal at “Winter Solstice Mindful Movement,'' Dec. 20

GENEVA, IL — The Forest Preserve District of Kane County invites community members to pause, breathe and restore at the “Winter Solstice Mindful Movement” program on Saturday, Dec. 20, from 9-10:30 a.m. at the Barbara Belding Lodge.
 
The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year, and many cultures consider it to be a day of hope for the new year. This reflective session offers participants an opportunity to end 2025 on a calming, restorative note.
 
Led by local wellness instructor Jennifer Falbo-Negron, this 90-minute class will guide participants through a heat-building practice featuring grounding postures, breath work, mindful movement and acupressure techniques. The session is designed to enhance strength, tone and flexibility while supporting a peaceful transition into the winter season.
 
Participants are encouraged to bring a yoga mat and any props that help maintain balance, extend stretches, and sit up tall.
 
Advance registration is required, and the fee is $15/person. To register, visit www.kaneforest.com/register, call 630-444-3190 or email programs@kaneforest.com.
