Inspirational quotes on breath by women to celebrate International Women’s Day 2024. 

If we Pause and
breathe in and out,
then we can have the experience of
timeless presence, of the inexpressible wisdom and goodness of our own minds.
We can look at the world with
fresh eyes and hear things with fresh ears.

of carbon dioxide and oxygen.

DONNA FARHI

The body is solid material
wrapped around the breath.

IDA ROLF

This unconsciously altered breath allows you to survive
but it does not allow you to
thrive.

DONNA FARHI

I now consider the diaphragm to be the conductor’s baton:
the breath is the music and
the abdominal core is the orchestra
providing resonance, rhythm and hue.
