SOPHRO Home

was founded in 1960 by Alfonso Caycedo, a professor of neuropsychiatry.

I cannot talk about it without giving you his definition:

‘Sophrology is a scientific method that studies human consciousness and the values of existence based on new concepts (phenomenological concepts) using its own processes, whose originality lies in their experiential nature.’

​

The word sophrology comes from Greek:

SOS          to be healthy, balance, harmony

PHREN     emotional soul, spirit, consciousness

LOGOS     study, science, discourse

​

It is therefore a positive way of life that fundamentally studies consciousness based on the practice of living: the act of experiencing what is happening in the moment, in a pure experience and outside of any rationalisation.

​

I am here to teach you the different techniques of this method, which aims to help you take control of your own wholeness and 

thus become the actor of your unique existence. 

Techniques mainly based on breathing exercises, concentration, body relaxation, for the unveiling of your consciousness.

​

Whether you want to prepare for parenthood, an examination, 

a sporting event, manage your emotions or combat anxiety, cope with illness, learn to trust yourself (again), strengthen your abilities and become aware of your values, or simply out of curiosity and for personal development, sophrology is a way of life that will accompany you and help you see your life in a new light. 

​

Finally, I would like to quote Dr Charles Rodà, professor and director 

of the SOPHRAGORA Sophrology Academy of Alsace, former student and collaborator of Professor Alfonso Caycedo, creator of sophrology:

‘Sophrology is a different way of living.’
