Autogenic Training (AT) is a powerful, evidence-based self-healing method that helps the body and mind return to balance. The word autogenic means self-generated—and that’s exactly what it is: a process that awakens your natural ability to restore calm, health, and harmony from within.
Developed by Dr. Johannes Schultz in the early 20th century, AT is a series of gentle, structured mental exercises that use focused awareness, breath, and body sensations to activate the body’s self-regulating systems.
Through guided practice, you learn to enter a deeply restful, meditative state—engaging the body’s natural healing mechanisms, calming the nervous system, and cultivating profound inner peace.
What Is Autogenic Training?
Unlike talk therapy or medication, AT empowers you to become your own therapist. Once learned, it becomes a lifelong tool for self-kindness —something you can use anywhere, anytime.
What Autogenic Training Gives You
Relief from stress, anxiety, and tension by reversing the fight–flight–freeze response.
Better sleep and deeper rest through training your nervous system to relax on command.
Improved emotional balance and a calmer mind.
Support for physical healing in stress-related or chronic conditions.
An inner steadiness that no one can give or take away—rooted in the quiet power of self-awareness.
A renewed relationship with yourself—where strength, serenity, and self-belief become your natural state.
You’ve done the work. Read the books.
You’ve tried mindfulness, breathwork, therapy, tapping.
But in the heat of the moment—your system still hijacks you.
You spiral. You shut down. You numb out. You lose your center.
This training helps you reclaim it.
• Not in theory
• Not on a retreat
• But in everyday life—during conflict, panic, exhaustion, or pressure.
If You’re Always “Managing” Your Emotions… It’s Time for Something Deeper.
You don’t need more mindset work.
You need a body that knows how to come back to calm.
This is your path back—to clarity, safety, and self-trust.

How to Learn Autogenic Training
Autogenic Training is learned through a structured, step-by-step process guided by a qualified Autogenic Therapist.
Taught 1:1 or small intimate groups over 10 weeks, you’ll be gently introduced to Schultz’s Six Standard Exercises—simple mental practices done sitting or lying down that retrain your body and mind to relax deeply and restore balance.

Each session builds on the last, teaching you how to use the exercises on your own until they become second nature
Through daily practice, you learn to:
Switch off the stress response
Regulate your nervous system - sympathetic and parasympathetic
Awaken the body’s natural capacity to heal itself
Once learned, this becomes a lifelong skill—something you can do anywhere, in just a few minutes.
What People Are Saying...

Autogenic Training with Pia Lindgren has been life-changing. Before learning AT, I lived in a constant state of stress, experiencing insomnia, panic attacks, body pain, and emotional meltdowns—symptoms I thought were normal.
Through Pia’s guidance, I learned to regulate my nervous system and connect deeply with my body. I can now release tension, access calm within minutes, and feel emotionally centred.
Today, I sleep better, my physical symptoms have eased, and I feel in control of my responses to life. Pia is a compassionate, wise mentor and an exceptional AT coach. I cannot recommend her highly enough. - Miranda Zipperlen, Australia
-
Before Autogenic Training with Pia, I had accepted anxiety as a part of my life. I was juggling the demands of being a mother, a wife, and a writer. I also suffered from a heart condition (SVT – supraventricular tachycardia) that left me living in fear every day. I had spent a fortune on therapy, counselling, and medical professionals, but nothing and no one had been able to help me.
I now describe my life as ‘before’ and ‘after’ learning AT. Since completing the course, I haven’t experienced SVT. I trust my brain’s ability to self-regulate. My writer’s block dissolved, and anxiety no longer ran my life.”
— Tess, Australia
-
As a professional educator, I came to Autogenic Training during a deeply anxious time—facing single parenthood and my child’s illness. AT became a lifeline.
Through the course, I gained emotional strength, clarity, and calm. I learned to prioritise myself, manage my anxiety, and respond to life with greater confidence and resilience.
It truly transformed how I show up for myself and my child.
— Jackie, Australia

Schultz’s Six Standard Exercises
“Westernized medicine has conditioned us to rely on the outer physician; Autogenic Training (AT) enables us to find and develop an intimate relationship with our own inner physician and healer” Benor, 1996
“Our Nervous System Is The Key To Inner Peace”
— Pia Choan
What’s Possible When You Heal at the Nervous System Level?
You sleep deeper, feel lighter, and breathe easier
You repair relationships that used to feel overwhelming
You stop reacting from trauma—and start responding from truth
You regulate in the moment, not just in hindsight
You feel safe—in your body, in your emotions, in your life
This is more than self-regulation.
It’s a felt sense of peace, power, and possibility.

“At 12, I was barely functioning. I was battling panic attacks, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Nothing helped—until one doctor handed me a method I’d never heard of: Autogenic Training.”
It didn’t just help—it changed everything.
-
Welcome—truly. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
If I had my way, Autogenic Training would be taught in every school. Not as another subject, but as a life skill—something every human deserves to know in a world that never stops asking more of us. AT recalibrates the nervous system, eases psychosomatic symptoms, and in many cases reduces or dissolves chronic pain. It also strengthens psychological resilience, unlocks creativity, and supports you to shape a life that you love.
My connection to AT runs deep.
At 12 years old, I could barely function. Panic attacks, depression, and suicidal thoughts were my everyday reality. Nothing reached me—until a doctor introduced me to Autogenic Training.This method didn’t just help. It transformed my entire life.
With no meditation background, no big therapeutic breakthroughs, and no fancy tools, I learned how to steady myself from the inside out. It gave me a way back to myself when everything felt impossible.
Decades later, I’m a certified instructor with the British Autogenic Society—blending clinical training with lived experience, empathy, and truth. This isn’t abstract theory for me. It’s the very practice that saved my life.
I’ve since guided hundreds through their own shift—from spiralling to centred, from reactive to grounded, from overwhelmed to at peace.
I believe every home, every school, and every human should have access to this kind of inner steadiness.
AT saved me. And I know it has the power to change yours too.From my heart to yours,
Pia
“Autogenic Training is more than a technique.
It’s a way of life—done by yourself, for yourself, with yourself, and because of yourself.”
— Pia Choan

You don’t need more Insight You need a Regulated Body …
