Black Girls Breathing

Harness the power of breathwork with this compassionate, healing guide for Black women.
 
As a Black woman, Jasmine Marie knows the impact that intergenerational trauma and systemic racism have had—and continue to have—on her community. Those experiences, along with her own journey through chronic stress, are why she created black girls breathing®, a movement dedicated to helping Black women understand the power of the mind‑body connection and its impact on their holistic health, one breath at a time.  
    In Black Girls Breathing, Jasmine Marie offers you the power of breathwork, and the revolutionary nature of slowing down and turning inward. With each intentional breath, you’ll learn how to sink deeper into your body to begin to undo the trauma that’s long been stored. Sharing exercises from her unique somatic philosophies proven by data and utilized by tens of thousands of participants to date, Jasmine Marie will also help you:

• Connect more fully to your body
• Give yourself permission to rest
• Heal the chronic stress you carry in your body and nervous system
• Address emotional pain
• Rebuild your sense of self and your community

This is a long-overdue resource for every Strong Black Woman—the woman ready to break cycles of trauma, heal the internalized beliefs of perfectionism and conditional self‑worth, and follow the wisdom of her inner voice.

• “As a professional Black woman, it’s been a long time since I’ve read a book and felt so deeply seen. Jasmine Marie speaks with ease and authority. She not only roots out the reasons behind our collective trauma but she also provides guidance for deep personal reflection. This powerful and actionable read navigates the space between awakening and healing. It reads like one long exhale, and Marie’s guidance feels familiar, like a dear friend who wants your healing as much as her own.”

• “Following in the footsteps of black feminist healers such as Audre Lorde, bell hooks, and Adrienne Maree Brown—-Black Girls Breathing affirms Jasmine Marie’s status as one of the most important voices of her generation. Black Girls Breathing is more than simply a book: it is a poignant reflection of the Black experience, a communal-call-to-action, and a sacred revolution. This is the book—and the healing movement—that our world, and most importantly Black women, have been waiting for.”
