Candlelight Yoga Nidra & Restorative Yoga
Monthly Full Moon Series
Saturday, October 17 · 6:30–7:45 PM
With Jaclyn Jackson · $30 · All levels welcome
A candlelit evening of supported rest, guided meditation, and gentle reflection. Give yourself 75 minutes to slow down, release tension, and reconnect.
Each month, the full moon offers a quiet moment to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
Our Candlelight Yoga Nidra & Restorative Yoga Full Moon workshop invites you into an evening of deep rest and gentle reflection at Yoga Among Friends in Downers Grove.
Practicing under the soft glow of candlelight, we begin with Restorative Yoga, settling into fully supported postures that allow the body to release tension and the nervous system to unwind. From there, you will be guided into Yoga Nidra meditation, a deeply restorative practice often described as “yogic sleep.”
Together these practices create a calm and nurturing space to slow down, restore balance, and reconnect inward.
If you're new to these practices, you can learn more about them on our
