Sophro Balance

22/08/2021

Hi Peeps! As you may have guessed by my lack of posts on this page ~ I am not teaching Sophrology as a job at the moment as life has steered me in other equally lovely directions.

However, if you land here I happily advise you to connect with Domonique Antiglio ~ https://be-sophro.com/online-courses/ my favourite teacher of Sophrology.

Her courses are super affordable and she is the embodiment of Sophrology herself. "Bon continuation tout le monde"! 🥰🙏

Develop a toolkit for life with Sophrology. Browse our online courses for stress, sleep, empowerment & more.

Whilst renowned in France and Spain, Sophrology is fairly new to the UK - so I'm excited to see a fab article also in The Guardian! - :D

Feeling stressed, anxious, burnt out? Time to pause Headspace and allow us to introduce a technique from the 1960s instead

Are we gonna sort this Ski Malarkey out once and for all?....Come Along to Hemel Snow Centre for a Ski Goddess session. You'll be so glad you did. 🎿💮😃
A few slots are still available Sun/Mon/Tues 10am/12pm/2.30pm. I may also do some Wednesdays and an occasional evening to help with busy life/work schedules.

Hi It would be great to see you and give you a hand with your skiing in preparation for this winter's holiday. I finish at the Snow Dome on 19th of October so let me know SOON if you'd love a session and I will try and fit you in. They really do help solve your ski wobbles or an...

Here's a good Sophrology page on the influence of mental strength and focus being key in sports performance.

Whatever level your activity, you can only help yourself by using the techniques. Sophrology uses specific movement, breathing and visualisation exercises to get you performing at your best.

The "Peak Performance Zone" is achieved when using sophrology as part of your sports training. Increase your mental strength with incredible focus and transform your performance. Keeping calm under pressure is the difference between winning and losing.

So starting another ski season with my Ski Goddesses - hooray!

I do a lot of mind over matter training with them using Sophrology techniques.

They all start with the basic visualisation and then I build them up to become more skiing related each time.

Feel free to have a listen here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ufv82x4oufmzhe/Landscape%20for%20Goddesses.mp3?dl=0

I do it with music which is not technically Sophrology - but I like to lull them in gently! :D

Happy mindfulness - happy skiing! x

So if you're still a bit "Soffra....WHAT!!??".... Really it's just about being in tune with your system. Those of us in the ski teaching industry can tell a mile off whether folk are "in tune" or not!! Obviously you can train yourself in it... (or 'init'!?) Try clapping your hands together, just once & quite loud, then shut your eyes. NOTICE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE PALM OF YOUR HANDS.

Did you know that Sophrology shot to fame across the continent 50 years ago after the techniques were practiced by the Swiss Ski Team taking them from the bottom of the rankings to winning over 200 medals in two seasons!! PRETTY IMPRESSIVE!

Without prescription drugs and using your own bodies resources we can find freedom from anxiety, stress, depression and much more. This page is here to raise awareness, give lots of helpful advice for some of life's challenges.

It's when we stop having conversations with our 5 senses and our body that problems begin.
So many of us hardly communicate with our bodies at all.
It's no wonder we find imbalance everywhere.

We used to think our moods and thoughts affected and determine our posture. I love this video which demonstrates how changing our posture changes our chemical balances creating a positive spiral... http://www.ted.com/talks/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_shapes_who_you_are.html

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident -- can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an i...
