As a result of living in this fast-paced society, your natural biological rhythms can become disturbed, affecting your ability to sleep soundly. During this course you'll learn to reduce tension, cultivate calmness and create the conditions for restful sleep.

Simple, repeatable, gentle movement-and-breathing techniques practiced now and then through the course of the day can give you the tools you need to combat the effects of stress and set the stage for satisfying sleep.

You’ll also learn about stress-induced hyperarousal, its impacts on people experiencing bouts of insomnia and what you can do to counteract it.

What people say:
"Two months after your weekend workshop, I can now say that these techniques indeed work. I have not had to take any sleeping pills since the first day of the course and have had only three bad nights since that time. Last week I went for a sleep study at the Mater hospital to check for sleep apneoa, etc. With 16 wires attached to me I was sure I would never get to sleep, but using a couple of the techniques, it took less than 15 minutes and I was away. So thank you very much for the course, and let me know when you are going to run another in Brisbane."
