SOUNDER SLEEP WORKSHOP
 

 

*****Cancelled - To Be Rescheduled*****

The Sounder Sleep System consists of gentle yet remarkably effective techniques called mini-moves™ that relax your body, calm your mind, and lull you into a blissful, restorative slumber. If you wake up during the night, the mini-moves get you right back to sleep. The mini-moves also provide effective, on-the-spot relaxation and stress reduction during waking hours.
The Sounder Sleep System is the practical, no-nonsense sleep system you have always dreamed of. It is tailor-made for busy people who just want to get a good night's sleep, tonight and every night, without medicines. Great for stressed-out urban professionals, business travelers, performing artists, students, seniors, new parents, and...you.

Benefits include:
• Enjoy surer, sounder sleep
• Recover quickly from nighttime wake-ups
• Awaken refreshed and relaxed
• Banish morning stiffness and "the grumps"
• Relax and relieve stress
• Be more alert, energetic, and effective
• Look better, feel better all day long

Taught by Susan Bowling, studio owner, Guild-Certified Feldenkrais(R) Practitioner and Certified Sounder Sleep Instructor

The Workshop will be held Saturday October 6 from 2:00 to 5:00 PM. Wear comfortable, loose clothing and bring your favorite pillow!

Cost of the workshop is $45 if preregistered by October 3 or $50 if registered later. We need at least five participants for this workshop to occur, so sign up now by clicking here or calling 303-449-4410 or stop by Alchemy of Movement.

We have added some new retail items to the selection here at Alchemy of Movement:

A selection of Autumn Teneyl Designs clothing, including pants, tops and dresses. We do not have the entire catalog but can special order anything we do not carry in your size. Just talk with Mike or Susan.

Annie-O has placed a number of hand-embroidered belts from a women's coop in Peru with us. These beautiful woven belts help support a number of families in Peru, since the women are paid a Fair Trade wage for their work.

Pottery from Westminster artist Barbara Pech is available in the studio. Barb makes them in her home studio.

We also regularly carry a selection of dance clothing from Gea and Vistara Designs. We have a new selection from Vistara in the studio now and expect more from Gea soon.
