Understanding Sophrology

Sophrology is a dynamic relaxation technique that combines elements of mindfulness, meditation, and gentle movement. It was developed in the 1960s by Professor Alfonso Caycedo, who aimed to create a method that promotes well-being and personal development.

Benefits of Sophrology

This practice helps individuals manage stress, improve sleep quality, and enhance overall mental clarity. By focusing on breathing and body awareness, sophrology encourages a deeper connection between the mind and body.

“Sophrology is a way to find balance and harmony in our busy lives.”

How to Practice

Practicing sophrology can be done individually or in groups. Sessions typically involve guided exercises that include visualization and relaxation techniques. Regular practice can lead to significant improvements in emotional resilience and physical health.
