The lineage is real. Dan was among the original internationally certified rebirthers, and the program traces to a 1976 Breathwork training at UMass Dartmouth. The bar is real too: a 180-day practice journal, 25 client sessions written up, and a final exam. Ryan knows this work from the inside: he trained with Dan Brulé, including 21 days in the Baja desert, and his Rebirthing line runs from Leonard Orr through Dan.
Weigh the commitment. It is a year at $7,560 USD, mostly home study, and the required live week has no listed place or date. Our Breathwork certification makes the opposite trade, and you can try the method first in our Breathwork classes.
These lessons show what one method looks like when it is taught live and in depth.
What we don't teach: We don’t teach or certify Breath Mastery or Dan Brulé’s Breath Therapy, and we don’t cover his Vivation or De-Reflexive Breathing modules. If you need those, train with them.
Three days in person or twelve weeks online. The same surrender-based method and mentorship from Ryan and Shelby either way.
