We’re excited to share that BeSophro and our signature approach to Sophrology have been featured in Gathered magazine’s recent article, “Expert-approved lifestyle changes can reduce anxiety – and anyone can do them”, published on 17 August 2025. The piece sheds light on how small, accessible changes—especially in diet and breathing habits—can make a real difference for those managing anxiety.
Gathered’s article explores key dietary shifts that can ease anxiety, from skipping alcohol and caffeine to embracing protein-rich and magnesium-packed foods, incorporating fermented staples like kefir, and enjoying calming herbal teas. Importantly, it underscores the transformative role of deep breathing—from diaphragmatic and abdominal techniques to Eastern-inspired practices like qigong and Sophrology.
On that note, Gathered features this explanation by our founder, Dominique Antiglio:
“Sophrology is a wellbeing practice that blends those ancient Eastern philosophies with Western science to help us tap into our resilient selves. It uses breathing, relaxation, body awareness, meditation and visualisation techniques designed to help you connect with your resilience and improve your mental and physical health.”
This mention helps spotlight Sophrology as a grounded, science-backed option—especially when paired with healthy lifestyle changes—as a gentle yet potent tool for building resilience.
Why This Matters
- Holistic resilience: Sophrology blends body and mind tools—breathing, meditation, visualization—with lifestyle changes like diet to support overall well-being.
- Rooted in accessibility: These practices are simple, intuitive, and available to anyone—no gear or special training required.
- Growing mainstream recognition: Being featured in Gathered marks another step in Sophrology’s journey toward wider adoption beyond its Continental European roots.
