Sophrology for resilience intro session
Widely practiced across Europe by everyone from Olympians to business leaders, Sophrology is a practical mental training method designed to enhance well-being and performance. Developed by a neuropsychiatrist, it uniquely blends Western medical science with Eastern traditions like yoga and Zen to offer accessible tools for modern stress management. Through a combination of simple breath work, gentle movement, and visualization, you can learn to improve your sleep, confidence, and focus without needing any special equipment or hours of practice

👤 - Sara Prag - Wellbeing coach - helping bring balance to busy minds
Sarah spent 20 years in high-pressure digital leadership roles at organizations like eBay and the BBC before severe burnout led her to discover a new path to resilience. Finding that traditional methods weren't enough, she turned to Sophrology—a pragmatic blend of mindfulness and relaxation widely practiced in France. Now training as a professional sophrologist, Sarah combines her leadership background with these accessible techniques to help others manage stress and build genuine well-being
