Dear ,

Once again we are preparing to launch the next edition of World Breathing Day. Organized by the WBD team of IBF, we need your collaboration to make this a success. We encourage you to start thinking now about how you can contribute to this event and celebrate the power of the breath, online or in person in your communities. Below you will find details of what has been planned so far.

Blessings,

World Breathing Day Team

Reconnect & Breathe Together

This year’s theme, “Reconnect & Breathe Together,” calls on participants worldwide to come together to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world through the simple yet profound act of shared, mindful breathing.

From workshops and guided sessions led by prominent breathworkers to live-streamed events and interactive discussions, World Breathing Day 2025 offers an accessible way to experience the life-changing power of conscious breathing. Studies and global traditions alike have long shown that intentional breathing reduces stress, boosts focus, and fosters deeper emotional resilience. As the world navigates increasingly complex challenges, this event is an invitation to pause, reconnect, and tap into the timeless power of the breath.

The theme ‘Reconnect & Breathe Together’ represents our shared commitment to human reconnection, cultivating personal wellness and magnifying global unity. Breathing is the universal language that binds us all; it connects us to ourselves and each other, transcending cultural, religious and geographic boundaries.

Organize an Event on World Breathing Day

Please share and hold events in your part of the world, raising consciousness around this great and FREE power! The more of us who consciously connect and breathe together, the more we contribute to a better, healthier world. Please let us know if you are organizing an event either in-person and/or online. We have created a Google drive spreadsheet where you can add details. We will use this as part of the promotion of WBD and help you spread the word! We ask you to use the "official" WBD banners which are available in more than 40 languages [see link below]

We would also love to receive any photos, videos or testimonials from previous WBD events as well as asking you to do the same for next year's events. It will help us to build up promotional material for coming years. Please send to: worldbreathingday@ibfbreathwork.org

Even if you are not organizing or participating in an event, we would encourage you to go outside into nature or a favorite meditation spot and breathe. Go for a breathing walk with a friend. Reconnect with others around you by breathing together in a simple flow and feel what you add to the collective celebration of World Breathing Day!

If you live in a big city, why not organize a live event there!

IBF WBD Zoom Events

One of the huge values of having an annual World Breathing Day (WBD) is to get to hear from people that have accumulated  a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in the healing arts and to hear what they have to say about the current state of human beings.

As in previous years, IBF will be hosting online Zoom events on April 11th. featuring speakers from the world of conscious breathing. Two sessions are planned: one for Europe/Africa and another for the Americas. Speakers will have 30 minutes each to present what the theme "Reconnect & Breathe Together" means to them. It's important that we get a variety of views and approaches. Is there anyone in Australia who would be willing to organize a Zoom event there? Let us know!

If you wish to be considered as a speaker for these events, please get in touch with us at: worldbreathingday@ibfbreathwork.org

We would also like to have short "live" interventions from in-person events on April 11th. This would involve only a few minutes of time but would help us to get a taste of what is going on in WBD from different parts of the world. We would provide a Zoom link for this. Again, if you are interested in this initiative, please get in touch with us at the email address above. We hope to have the schedules in place by January 15th. 2025, so please get in touch with us as soon as you can!

This year Eva Molina Figueras from the WBD team is organizing a Zoom event for Spanish speakers.
