Dominique Antiglio Featured in Psychologies: Discovering Sophrology and Its Benefits
We’re delighted to share that BeSophro and its founder Dominique Antiglio have been featured in Psychologies, in an article by Lily Smith dedicated to Sophrology and featuring Dominique’s expertise throughout.
As a Master Sophrologist and founder of BeSophro, Dominique shares her perspective on the practice, its origins, its approach to stress and body awareness, and how it can become part of our everyday lives.
As Dominique explains:
“Sophrology is a structured mind-body practice that combines breathing techniques, gentle movement, relaxation, visualisation and body awareness. What makes it unique is that it actively works with both the body and the mind.”
The feature introduces readers to the origins of Sophrology and Dominique’s approach to practising it in daily life. Dominique discusses the importance of becoming more aware of what is happening internally, recognising the signals our bodies give us and building a regular practice gradually.
For those discovering Sophrology, Dominique recommends starting small, with consistency taking priority over intensity. She encourages people to see the practice not simply as something to turn to occasionally, but as something that can be integrated into everyday routines:
“I often encourage people to think of Sophrology as a daily hygiene practice for the mind and body.”
The feature also includes a practical Sophrology exercise from Dominique called The Pump, combining movement and breathing, and introduces readers to BeSophro and the BeSophro app, where they can discover more daily Sophrology practices.
Discover a mind-body practice: Sophrology combines breathing techniques, gentle movement, relaxation, visualisation and body awareness, working actively with both body and mind.
Develop greater awareness: Dominique encourages us to pay attention to what is happening internally and become more aware of the signals coming from our body and mind.
Start small and build consistency: Sophrology does not require long sessions. Beginning with a few minutes and developing a regular practice can make it easier to integrate into everyday life.
Make Sophrology part of your routine: Dominique describes Sophrology as a “daily hygiene practice for the mind and body”, an approach that makes the practice relevant beyond individual moments of stress.
