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.
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 here in more than 40 languages – and also to add details about your event for publication on the IBF website using the form we have prepared for you WBD 2025 worldwide events sign up form
IBF WBD Zoom Events
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.
WBD Breathing Challenge
The theme of WBD this year is “Reconnect and Breathe Together’ so we are proposing a challenge to the world on social media – Facebook, Instagram, TikTok……
How does it work?
-
Ask a friend, family member or better still a complete stranger to complete ten synchronized conscious connected breaths with you.
-
Facing each other, looking into each other’s eyes, do the breathing
-
At the end, ask each other “How do you feel now?’ “Do you feel any change?”
-
It takes only a minute or so of people’s time
-
Have fun doing this!
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.
