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.

WBD is coming soon!

April 11, 2026, 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 2026 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.

World Breathing Day 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.

Post it on your social media

This means that beforehand you have your cell phone ready to record the encounter. If you are good at selfies you need to set up before you start breathing or better still you can ask someone else to do the recording.

We need to do some “test runs” since the challenge will be launched on World Breathing Day 11 April 2026. So, this is an appeal to the community to try this out, send videos to us and if you like, start posting them on your social media. Please send videos to worldbreathingday@ibfbreathwork.org and we can share them on our own social media platforms. Also consider doing an Instagram live Ten Breath Challenge! Spread the breath worldwide!
