What is sophrology ?

Sophrology is a mind-body practice that combines breathing, relaxation, and positive visualization techniques. It helps develop a calm and aware state of consciousness by harmonizing body and mind. Through regular practice, it supports stress management, emotional regulation, self-confidence, and a positive connection with oneself and others.

Who is sophrology for?

Sophrology is accessible to everyone—children, teenagers, adults, and seniors—regardless of age or background. It can be used for personal development (stress reduction, better sleep, emotional balance) as well as professional performance (exam preparation, public speaking, concentration, resilience). Non-political and secular, sophrology respects the values and beliefs of each individual.

Goals 

  • Stress and anxiety reduction

  • Improved sleep quality and recovery

  • Increased concentration and self-confidence

  • Reinforcement of positive attitudes and resources

  • Better emotional balance and self-awareness

  • Mental preparation for exams, competitions, or professional challenges
