What is sophrology ?


Sophrology is a method for balancing the body and mind. It offers exercises based on breathing , muscle relaxation , visualization and meditation. No prerequisites are needed.


Sophrology does not require physical contact or medication. Often practiced and recommended as a complementary therapeutic method with a psychotherapy ( psychologist, psychiatrist...), the sophrologist transmit, teaches exercises, gentle muscle relaxation movements, visualization, breathing, meditation... There is no failure, no challenge and no pre experience to have. Just a daily practice of 10 min allows to the body to find again pleasant sensations, find again security feeling, the relaxation and to achieve this more and more quickly.

Practice everyday and have the pleasure and desire to do it.

The sophrologist transmit and give you the time, the space and freedom to adapt the practice to you capacities, to your possibilities. It can be difficult to stay focused 5 or even 1 minute on the breath or the exercise when we start to practice and we try to practice alone at home or at work. It´s fine. The time you have devoted to this practice will already be what you have acquired, and taken for yourself. You were able to concentrate for 1 min? Fine! In few days, you will be able to do it for 2, 5 then 10 minutes. Maybe it is difficult to stay seated to practice an exercise, so please, be comfortable and try in a standing position. After a while, it will be easier and more cosy to repeat, to train seated. If it is not the case, just go on in standing position , as long as you feel safe and comfortable and you will feel cosy for your daily training. Take few minutes, at least, to write how and what you feel inside, in your body, your mind. It will allow you to notice and be conscious of your evolution, your progress.
