"I have found an inner peace as I am generally a person who is on the go all the time. I now sleep well and wake up feeling refreshed. I no longer allow work situations to stress me, I am calmer when dealing with deadlines and difficult family situations.
Thank You Ishana – you are an amazing, giving and caring Sophrologist"

"Sophrology made me feel more positive and appreciative of my own body and its uniqueness. I don't stress about my weight, as it's no longer an issue for me. I am just glad to be a healthy, happy and beautiful woman ..."

"I have now become more aware of how stress and tension affected my body and mind. Sophrology has enabled me to focus on and make positive changes in my life. It has helped me to manage stress more efficiently ..."

"Sophrology made me realise that I needed to appreciate my body more and that it deserves more respect. I discovered that I can be calmer, just by doing the breathing techniques … It taught me to relax, enjoy and laugh more ..."

"Sophrology has taught me to focus on myself. I realised the importance of a calm mind, breathing, correct posture and visualization in order to improve my health and life. It was a pleasant way to get to know myself again and made me think positively ..."

"I realized that my mind and my breathing has a lot more power in calming me than I ever thought. A state of peace and calmness is most critical if I want to keep my LUPUS stable and under control. Sophrology has proven to be most beneficial now, that I am pregnant and a soon-to-be MUM. I am now going through my daily tasks, a lot calmer and at a slower pace than before. I am no longer frantically, getting my tasks done like I did previously.
I realized that rushing through life is NOT for me. If ever I feel frazzled, or have an anxious moment, I just do my Sophrology breathing and the panic state disappears. My sleep has really improved phenomenally - I do not experience a “racing brain” before going to bed anymore. "

"I particularly enjoyed the body scan before each exercise session. It was as if I connected with my inner self. The body scan made me feel like I was cleansing myself from inside, not outside. As I practiced the head to toe scan the experience became more natural.
The exercises were simple and had a positive impact on my body. The activation of my muscles and blood flow was refreshing. The breathing exercises were especially beneficial during times of heightened anxiety or stress. It enabled me to calm myself from the inside. The relaxation techniques especially, improved my sleep during the night.
I am grateful to have experienced Sophrology. The biggest impact for me, was the ability to think more clearly and rationally, to be openminded and to and have an enquiring mind. Even though my thoughts are always racing before me, Sophrology enabled me to sort them logically and systematically. My calmer demeanor is more noticeable by my family and friends.
I am quite surprised by the outcomes of the first level. I am pursuing the second level for the heightened knowledge that I am sure Sophrology will provide"

"I felt that Level 2 exercises were more mentally challenging then Level 1. This level helped to exercise the mind/brain at all levels compared to Level 1, which was more physical.
Reconnecting with the senses on various occasions, enabled me to appreciate some of the senses more than the others. I noticed that I am more in tune with music and my body feels the music now. Previously it was background noise. Some activities of daily living, like having a shower or preparing a meal or just having a cup of tea, made me feel more emotionally connected, than it being an actual task. Awakening my body structures and reconstruction of musculature was good as I felt a sense of regrowth and a connection with cells of the muscles. I feel more emotionally in touch with myself and my surroundings. Little things make me feel content and at peace, like the sound of birds in the garden, or the waterfall feature outside my house.
I am more decisive and assertive in my thinking which is positive for me. I made life changing decisions that I do not regret but have been toying with for years. I am more optimistic and focused on the future, and less fixated on past. I feel like I am in control of my mind and thus in control of my surroundings. I am still prone to some anxiety but by doing the breathing techniques and having a systematic thought process, this averts any mishaps. "

"When I started this journey, I didn’t know what I was going to uncover or expose about myself, all I knew was I wanted to unlock the fears and insecurities I had been harboring towards my work (career); family; social life; and future in general.
I have learnt that there is a lot of things that I have buried or suppressed and not dealt with. I have learnt that my body is a complex system that feeds off itself and that I need to understand it so that I may make proper decisions and have good mental health. Sophrology has helped me change my way of thinking and the way I approach life. What once was everything (e.g. work), I have come to the point where my well-being is more important.
The breathing exercises; understanding the 6 systems; getting to know the nervous system and more importantly the endocrine system helped me to appreciate me and my whole body. By doing the exercises, I am no longer dependent on pain medication for my back. Breathing, closing my eyes & focusing on those special places that made me happy, truly changed the way I perceived life. Moving from pessimistic to being more optimistic about life in general. I have become more calmer and more in tune with me. "

"I have learnt that the main issue that held me back was my anxiety – anxiety about myself and the world around me. All my other issues of self-doubt, irritability and inability to stay focused stemmed from my anxiety. I learnt that it is possible to address my anxiety myself.
I realized that I do not take enough time to slow down, relax deeply and let my mind and body work as one.
Through Sophrology I have taken the time to focus on myself a little bit more, even if it’s just for a few minutes a day. I have learnt that by controlling my breathing at any point in time, proved to be a very powerful way to calm down, relax and stay focused.
I noticed the changes in the way I approach and handle stressful situations. Previously it made me feel overwhelmed and I would always resort to a panic mindset. Now I approach issues far more calmly and with more clarity. I can manage and cope with stress more efficiently."

"Prior to starting sophrology with Ishana, I was very out of touch with my physical sensations, so the body scans in Level 1 were often challenging. I have just finished Level 1, and I can already enjoy the fabulous benefits of the exercises done repeatedly and consistently over time. I am now more grounded and more in tune with my body and my environment, towards which I feel a lot more gratitude and joy. I now marvel at things that used to leave me indifferent, and that makes life a lot more fun.
Sophrology is not a quick fix, it demands commitment, and many times I found it challenging to sit down and do the 20 to 25minute exercises at home. I later realized that sitting down and keeping still was actually, the difficult part! The exercises flow and were intensely relaxing for me. It helped me to stay calm and content with myself.
I will continue with Level 2, as I am very curious to see how far sophrology takes me."

"I am now at the end of level 2 and I have noticed major changes in the way I approach people and events in my life. I feel stronger, more relaxed and more positive than ever. I am now able to identify my own limits and set clear boundaries with my friends, my coworkers and my family, which I find extremely liberating and empowering.
Sophrology has produced a compound effect in my life, as I have progressively implemented new good habits without really noticing: I now eat a healthy breakfast every morning, I journal almost daily, I exercise more often and take pleasure in it, I eat better, I cook more, I read more, and I don't drink as much alcohol as before either.
Sophrology also helped me unlock my creative potential: I recently decided to try my hand at drawing and playing music, which I find very fulfilling. I am starting Sophrology level 3 soon, and I look forward to it."

Since I started sophrology with Ishana less than a year ago, I have let go of a lot of anxiety. I also gained much insight and self-awareness. A few months into my Sophrology journey, I started to reconsider some of my friendships. As I grew more self-confident and positive, I found the strength to manage and control the negative relationships that no longer served me.
Learning to set clear boundaries with people and myself is rewarding yet stressful, but thanks to Ishana's exercises, I had my recovering intuition and a newly gained peace of mind to support me. It's easier to set boundaries when you know how you feel, and sophrology helped me a great deal with getting in touch with my feelings.
Another effect of the exercises was the fresh perspective I gained with regards to the dynamics within my family upbringing. I held a lot of frustration and anger from the past, and Sophrology helped me to feel and release this anger, thanks to the exercises in the third level. More importantly, the exercises and techniques made me reflect on the past in a positive way and I realized that nothing is either black or white.
Sophrology has been the trigger of a positive domino effect on my lifestyle. I am happier, healthier and handle challenges more efficiently. I also try new experiences more regularly, as I grew more curious and more open-minded about the world around me.
Sophrology has been a journey into self-awareness, self-acceptance, inner strength and compassion for myself and others.

During the past year, I experienced severe depression and anxiety attacks due to many personal losses and setbacks in my life. I was in and out of hospital; spent huge amounts of money at various doctors and took medication which did not help me. I always felt emotionally and physically drained due to the lack of appetite and depressed state of mind.
When I started my Sophrology sessions with Ishana, I immediately started feeling the anxiousness and depression leaving my body. The various simple and gentle exercises and breathing techniques helped me to control my high blood pressure. I felt lighter, more energetic and stronger as I did the exercises. My appetite started improving and as my depression left, I was able to think more positively. I realized for myself that I needed to make certain changes to improve my lifestyle. I am now a lot calmer, happier and Sophrology has helped me to handle challenges with efficiently. I do not internalize negativity anymore and this has led to a transformation of a “NEW ME”.
Thanks to Ishana, I am so fortunate to have started this journey with you. The timing was perfect and I am blessed.

I have learnt how to manage and cope with my stress by doing Sophrology. It is a challenge at times but with practice and dedication it can be done. Sometimes I find it difficult to make time to do the exercises. The reason is that our lives are so busy and complicated. But it is especially for this reason, that we need to make time for ourselves. I have also learnt that I need to listen to my body and attend to its needs. Sophrology enables me to be calm and relaxed. My quality of sleep has improved tremendously.

Sophrology helped to improve my sleep and brought about immediate relaxation to my whole body. The methods and techniques taught me how to relax my body at any given time. I became very aware of the different parts of my body and how they responded to the exercises. My visualization of various organs of my body was very clear and prominent.

Sophrology has taught me various breathing techniques which, helps me daily at home or at work. I am now able to sleep well every night. Previously I used to experience pain in my feet and after practicing sophrology, the pain has disappeared.
I have also practiced sophrology with my kids at home. They really enjoyed the exercises and as a result they were very happy with the results. I also observed that they did not get sick or unwell like before, after doing the sophrology techniques.

Sophrology has helped me to efficiently deal with aggressive and challenging customers in my work environment. It has given me a lot more confidence enabling me to face certain issues. Previously I experienced difficulties regarding this, and it brought about a lot of stress at work.

Ishana, I would like to thank you for your time and effort in introducing me to sophrology.

I have now learnt various breathing techniques, which I was not aware of previously. These techniques benefits my body in so many ways and I am now able to breathe much better. I feel my lungs are being well exercised. Since I am now able to manage and control my breathing, sophrology has enabled me to control and manage my anger. I simply practice these breathing techniques, which keeps me calm and relaxed.

I have realized that I previously did not appreciate my body and the organs in my body, the role that they play in my body and the senses in my body. Sophrology has taught me to now make time to monitor them and realize how important they are and the impact they have on my body. I have therefore begun to appreciate my body and the organs in my body.
I used to have constant headaches but ever since I have started Sophrology, the headaches have disappeared. I now make time to rest properly, so that all the tension in the body releases.
Sophrology has also helped me to release the unwanted, negative energy from my body and mind.

Thank you for walking this road with me.
The journey of sophrology can only be described as a clearing of the fog. It is the kind of fog that we all know -- its life happening, catching you off guard with not enough time to process and work through curve balls or events. It is a feeling of being unsure and muddled, at a crossroad unsure and unclear of the direction for your life. Then as you work through the exercises, the fog lifts and slowly you gain clarity of the way forward again.
For me, the clearing of the fog has been on a physical, mental and emotional level. The exercises feel simple at times but there are profound shifts that only you can experience and translate into the meaning it has for you. The physical level was an actual spring cleaning of my environment and space so that all things are functional and decluttered and is ongoing over the past 6 months, the mental level has been finding direction and moving forward with decisions about my life and emotionally it has been facing fears and releasing pain stored over the years.
Your body is a temple and knows the map to self-healing, our job is to provide the tools and time for that to happen. Sophrology gave me the tools and enabled me to make the time and slowly the body followed. I know now looking back how disconnected my body, mind and spirit were. It has taken work to re-establish the connection and the work is ongoing but very rewarding. My journey has been powerful and uplifting in that way, renewed me with purpose and made clear that life is meant to be lived mindfully.

Sophrology helped me achieve a clear, calm mind. I have learnt how to deal with difficult customers in a calmer manner. My quality of sleep has really improved, as I do not wake up during the night, thinking about the day I had. I now ignore small, irrelevant things that occur. I do not internalize them or stress about them anymore.
By practicing Sophrology, I have now learnt how to breathe correctly, which is the way we should be breathing. I would recommend Sophrology to be practiced in the workplace, as a lot of stress prevails. Many people do not know HOW to cope and this in turn leads to Burnout.

By practicing Sophrology, it enabled me to realize that I need to think clearly, before reacting in any situation in my life. I feel that I now experience quality sleep and my breathing has improved.
