WHAT IS SOPHROLOGY?

Developed in 1960 in Spain by Prof. Alfonso Caycedo, a neuro-psychiatrist, it is now a very popular method in continental Europe. It is a structured method, based on relaxation and breathing techniques, concentration, visualisation and simple movements. It stands at the crossroads between meditation and life coaching, Zen and classic relaxation techniques. The exercises used are simple and easy to use in an everyday life environment. You learn the techniques that are best suited to you and are able to re-use them on your own. To learn more about Sophrology, visit www.sophro-florence-verrier.com.
