It is a branch of neurological medicine that studies the human consciousness and its positive modifications through practice of methodology inspired by Indian Rajah Yoga, Tibetan Tum-Mo and Japanese Zen.
Sophrology's philosophy is based on German Phenomenological School of Science initiated by E. Husserl, and developed later by Martin Heidegger and Ludwig Binswanger.
Sophrology comes from the Greek:
SOS (Peace, Harmony)
PHREN (Consciousness, Brain)
LOGOS (Science, Study)
Sophrology is the study of the consciousness' harmony
Sophrology is a training programme for total health, discovering your full potential, your values of existence and the emotional origin of illnesses. It is a series of exercises both physical and mental which are done in a state of relaxation in movement. It improves both physical and mental health.
"Take care of your brain and your brain will take care of your existence. Take care of your heart and your heart will take care of your life."
- Professor Alphonso Caycedo, Founder of Sophrology
