Sophrology and me

For my 50th birthday, my partner gave me an introductory weekend to Sophrology. Jacques said that he was offering me that, because he didn’t want to bury me, he wanted to grow old with me. And my frantic life style, two jobs, a constant running to try to catch up was not conducive to a serene and relaxed partner.
So off I went to the first weekend to learn, I thought, to relax. There I discovered that Jacques’ present went so much further. This was an opportunity to learn not only to learn how to relax, but to live in a positive manner, and also to teach other people as well.... the teacher’s soul in me went yippee!
That very first day had me hooked. I joined in with 4 other ladies, plus the teacher. The other students were in their second year, and radiated a lively serenity that I wanted too. They were in touch with themselves, their emotions, and as I learnt, their bodies.
I continued with my training, and after completing the first cycle in Annecy, studed for the second and third cycles in Andorra, with Prof Caycedo, and his daughter, Dr Nathalia Caycedo. I have now graduated with a Specialised Masters in Caycedian Sophrology (c)
