Sophrology is..

Sophrology is a mental well-being practice combining modalities such as relaxation, breathing, gentle movement, meditation and visualisation to balance body and mind, enhance performance and help you reach your goals.

Sophrology’s modalities are rooted in science and have been proven to positively impact the nervous system. Practising Sophrology regularly for as little as 10 minutes a day can help us manifest our full potential.

What can Sophrology help you with?

Sophrology can help you deal with stress-management, anxiety, problems sleeping, letting go of negativity and mastering your mindset.

How do I practice Sophrology?

Designed to be simple and easy to follow, Sophrology requires only 3 – 20 minutes per practice and can be done anytime, anywhere, alone or in a group.

Created from both Eastern practices and modern science, Sophrology uniquely combines breathing, dynamic relaxation, gentle movement, meditation and visualisation techniques to help you feel more empowered everyday.

Sophrology – Your Toolkit for Modern Life

Sophrology is a real life solution and toolkit to true mental, physical and emotional well-being. Referred to as “the new mindfulness” by The Guardian, Sophrology has been around for 60 years when created by psychiatrist and neurologist, Dr Alfonso Caycedo.

Born in the medical world and practised across Continental Europe for decades in settings including schools, hospitals and corporate environments, Sophrology is championed by everyone from mums to Olympic athletes and high-flying CEOs.

In France and Switzerland, Sophrology is used alongside more traditional medical approaches and reimbursed by health insurances. The modalities used by Sophrology are backed up by science and Sophrology itself has a growing body of evidence in successfully helping anxiety, stress, asthma and tinnitus.
