Il s'agit d'une VISUALISATION GUIDÉE axée sur le thème de la patience, se déroulant à San Francisco dans le quarter de Noe Valley.

Les enfants sont guidés vers un moment de détente, que ce soit en classe ou à la maison, où ils se concentrent sur leur respiration tout en écoutant une activité audio pour un moment calme.

Ils s'embarquent pour un voyage et découvrent certaines caractéristiques uniques de cet endroit. Merci à Judith et Suzanne, des abonnés à Noe Valley, pour cette inspiration!

La pratique de respiration de ce mois est la respiration du coeur diamant.

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:

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