Il s'agit d'une brève méditation de REMISE EN ROUTE APRÈS LA RÉCRÉATION, axée sur le thème de la Joie.

Les enseignants peuvent la diffuser pour aider les élèves à revenir en classe après la récréation, le déjeuner ou tout autre moment de transition.

Les enfants sont guidés vers un moment relaxant, où ils se concentrent sur leur respiration en écoutant une activité audio de calme.

La pratique respiratoire de ce mois-ci est la respiration de l'Aigle.

Big Belly Breathing (BBB) is a bilingual audio program for kids (and the grownups who love them), founded by Vanessa Hutchinson-Szekely. Featuring episodes in English and French, BBB focuses on mindfulness, health, and wellness—inviting young listeners into joyful, imaginative, and restorative practices.

As a Physical Education and meditation teacher, parent of bilingual kids, yoga instructor, social-emotional learning facilitator, and holistic health & wellness coach, Vanessa created Big Belly Breathing to help children establish daily habits that nurture both body and mind.

Healthy Habits = Happy Kids

Through each episode, children are gently guided to:

• Breathe mindfully
• Stretch their creativity
• Build emotional awareness
• Practice gratitude
• And enjoy mini-moments of deep rest that help them reset, restore, and recalibrate.
