Relaxation Techniques can be helpful in dealing with stress and tension. It is a great way to control emotions, control stress, and relieve physical and mental tension.

One of the relaxation techniques we use is the Schultz technique. It allows deep relaxation, relaxing the body and mind. This technique also helps with sleep. It is based on autosuggestion and focuses on the body’s internal sensations. It involves quieting the activity of our mind and relaxing the body.

• want to improve their concentration and focus

How is it done at TUTU?

Autogenic training leads to deep relaxation, resulting in gradual tension control and reduction of psychosomatic problems. It is based on the process of self-regulation of the human body.

The first level of training involves successively creating:       

• A sense of heaviness
• A sense of warmth 
• Breathing regulation
• Heartbeat regulation
• Nervous system communication 
• Cooling sensation of the head

The effect of autogenic training is thus to train the reflex of relaxation, which can be used as a self-help method throughout life.

Learning the method takes 4 weeks and includes:

• One meeting per week including a full relaxation session with the instructor (about 30-40 minutes).
• daily, self-directed exercise – about 10-15 minutes a day (during the other days of the week).
