Sounder Sleep

Anna Haltrecht , G.C.F.P.  teaches the Sounder Sleep System developed by Michael Krugman. Here she is practicing with her favourite coach "Snowball".

Some people have no difficulty getting to sleep, and sleep soundly through the night however statistics show that one in every seven Canadians suffer from insomnia and has trouble going to sleep or staying asleep "most or all of the time”. This is often because their natural biological rhythms are disturbed by artificial environments and they lose their natural sleep/wake rhythm. The Sounder Sleep System helps to restore this key biological rhythm using movement and breath.

In the Sounder Sleep System, you focus on simple, lulling physical movements that are synchronized with your breath. Because physical movements are immediately present to the senses, you become deeply absorbed in the moment, in each movement, in each breath. The state between awake and sleep can then become a time of deep introspection and a rich source of insight. Your body relaxes and your mind becomes very still, and if you need sleep, then you will fall asleep.

The system has two components: daytime relaxation techniques, called Day Tamers and nighttime sleep inducing movements, called Mini-Moves. The Day Tamers reduce hyperarousal and the Mini-Moves lull you to sleep and get you back to sleep on awakening.

Sounder Sleep’s founder, Michael Krugman. is a Feldenkrais Practitioner and a life-long student of traditional methods of self-healing. He wrote the book, The Insomnia Solution, which details this remarkably simple, yet effective system.
