Sounder Sleep School
Sounder Sleep School® of San Francisco The Sounder Sleep School of San Francisco's unique curriculum is based on the Sounder Sleep System®, a world-renowned system of insomnia self-help taught by over 200 health-professionals in 12 countries.The Sounder Sleep System is based on the discovery that certain small, slow, repeated physical movements can shift us from the active, waking state to one of profound physical and mental repose. When we reach that tranquil state, if we need sleep, we will fall asleep. The System consists of gentle, yet remarkably effective physical movement and breathing techniques that are practiced by day and at bedtime. The System can be learned in convenient weekly or biweekly classes, day-long workshops, and other formats. The learning process is pleasurable and profoundly restful in itself. A survey conducted by the National Sleep Foundation indicates that about one-third of Americans are losing sleep over the country's current financial crisis. Benefits you may experience by improving fragmented or inadequate sleep include a stronger immune system, better memory, and improved weight control. Classes and Workshops in the SOUNDER SLEEP SYSTEM® Whether you suffer from insomnia, anxiety, excessive muscular tension, or other stress-related symptoms, the Sounder Sleep System is a powerful, practical tool for self healing. Learn and practice a variety of techniques to help you fall asleep, get back to sleep after wakening, and achieve deeper, more restful, more satisfying sleep. This series is designed to give the benefit of developing your skill over a period of weeks. Follow-up review sessions are also available. Mats provided, byo pillow if you wish.
