If your stress levels are still through the roof and none of the above are for you, then there’s another new wellness trend on the block that might just be what you’re looking for. We’re talking about Sophrology.”

You’ve heard of mindfulness, now meet its dynamic young cousin Sophrology.”

Of all the things I’ve tried in my battle against insomnia so far, sophrology has been the most natural – and perhaps the most useful.”

I like Antiglio. She is a calming presence. The practice has a growing army of fans, including the French tennis player Yannick Noah, the France rugby union team and the businesswoman Arianna Huffington.”

From the first session I saw how useful it was in my daily life. A practice I could use anytime anywhere, from helping me calm my nervous system to focusing on a single task.”
