Sanctuary: A Nervous System Reset & Deep Restoration Fall Equinox Workshop with Danielle DelVecchio
Saturday, September 19
2-4pm • Wellesley
Sanctuary is an immersive restorative experience devoted to nervous system regulation and deep, intentional rest - a return to the sanctuary within. This workshop gently guides the body and mind out of chronic activation and toward balance, offering space for mental, physical, and emotional tension to unwind on a deeply embodied level.
Rather than emphasizing movement or complex sequencing, Sanctuary centers on down-regulation, awareness, and rest as a skill. Through a carefully curated blend of practices, students are invited to soften, settle, and recalibrate - learning how stress is held in the body and how restorative techniques can be used with intention to support resilience and overall well-being.
Most of the workshop is experienced lying down in a supportive, soothing environment, allowing the nervous system to shift from effort into integration.
This experience includes:
Gentle Kundalini-based movement and breathwork moving through the chakras
A guided I AM Yoga Nidra™ meditation
A Reiki-infused sound bath with alchemy crystal bowls, drums, rattles, tuning forks and gong
Students will leave feeling calm, grounded, and deeply restored, with a clearer connection to their internal cues and practical tools for supporting nervous system regulation in daily life.
Sanctuary is ideal for anyone feeling overstimulated or depleted, or for those curious about yoga and meditation as pathways toward deep restoration and self-connection.
As this Sanctuary falls at the time of the Fall Equinox, the workshop offers a meaningful opportunity to pause and honor the turning of the season. The equinox marks a moment of balance between light and dark, inviting us to slow down, restore the nervous system, and reflect on the season that has passed. As nature begins to shift inward, it offers a gentle reminder to release what feels complete and make space for what is ready to unfold. Together, we create space to ground, recalibrate, and move into the months ahead with greater clarity, steadiness, and intention.
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in & bring a washcloth or eye pillow & a yoga mat (yoga mats are available to rent in studio for $3)
