The Big AL Foundation

Our Programmes

We meet children, parents and educators where they are — in schools, in communities, and at home. Teaching the one skill that changes everything.

Little Breathers workshop
For Children & Parents

Little Breathers

Our primary school programme focuses on breath, mindfulness and emotional awareness — three skills that are pivotal in laying the foundation for emotional and nervous system regulation.

By instilling these skills early, The Big AL Foundation is sowing the seeds for a generation equipped to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, self-awareness and empathy.

Functional Breathing
Children learn how to breathe the way nature intended — in and out through the nose, using the diaphragm.
The ABC Method
Our signature calm is as easy as ABC breathing technique — simple, memorable and immediately useable.
Emotional Awareness
Children develop body awareness and begin to understand how breath shapes how they feel.
Parents Included
Parents participate alongside their children — so the tools go home and become part of daily life.
