Every path leads to the same place: the surrender-based method, a real facilitator credential, and the confidence to hold Breathwork for real people. You learn safe, trauma-informed facilitation and the business side of filling your first rooms.
Whichever format you choose, you train directly with Ryan and Shelby in a small cohort, and you keep the graduate community and mentorship long after your final day.
We built the online cohort for people who can't travel, or who simply want to start online. Whatever your reason, it gets you there. That said, if you can make an in-person intensive work, we always encourage it. Breathing in a room with your cohort is something a screen can't fully recreate.
The shorter trip or the sooner date. That is the choice from Austin.
Atlanta is the shorter trip by road and by air: about 920 miles against about 1,000 to Scottsdale, and a little over two hours nonstop against about two and a half. Exact dates and venue TBD.
Scottsdale is the sooner date, February against March. It lives on the main certification page, and we are back in the Phoenix area in November 2027 if neither month works.
Both run Friday to Sunday. Arrive at 8:45, start at 9, finish around 5. Most people fly in Thursday. Watch the clock: Scottsdale is an hour behind Austin in February, and Atlanta is an hour ahead.
Austin-Bergstrom sits about five miles southeast of downtown. The South Terminal is closed, so every flight uses the Barbara Jordan Terminal. Delta and Southwest fly nonstop to Atlanta, Southwest and American to Phoenix.
No train reaches the airport yet. CapMetro Route 20 runs from the lower level outside baggage claim, about 35 minutes to downtown.
On the Atlanta end, land at the Domestic Terminal and downtown is a short MARTA ride. Phoenix is Sky Harbor, a Southwest and American hub. There is no light rail into Scottsdale, so plan a ride from the airport.
Looking for Breathwork classes around Austin rather than a certification? Start with our Breathwork Austin listings instead.
February is the tail of cedar season in Central Texas. Scottsdale that month runs about four degrees warmer than home, with less than half the rain. Bring layers for the cool mornings.
Atlanta in March runs about seven degrees cooler than the same month at home. Tree pollen peaks in late March. If it sets you off, pack the allergy medicine.
SXSW takes over Austin in March too, so book the AUS flight early.
Everyone in Greater Austin flies out of the same airport. Open the block that fits.
Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown and Pflugerville all sit on the north side, and AUS sits on the southeast side, so you cross town to fly. Leave a margin. From Leander or Cedar Park, the Red Line runs to downtown, and Route 20 picks up from there.
San Marcos and Kyle come up I-35 from the south. Bastrop comes in from the east, and the Hill Country towns come in from the west. Same airport, same flights.
Between online calls, practice where you like: the Butler Trail around Lady Bird Lake, the grass at Barton Springs, or your own living room.
Atlanta is about 85 road miles closer and the shorter flight. It is also the later date, and the exact dates and venue are TBD. Flexible refund policy. Transfer or refund within 30 days of dates and location being settled.
Scottsdale is the sooner date, on the main certification page, and it lands in a drier, warmer desert month while cedar is still going at home. Atlanta's month is cooler, with tree pollen near its peak. Clocks: Arizona stays on Mountain Standard Time all year, so Scottsdale runs an hour behind Austin and Atlanta an hour ahead.
If neither month works, we are back in the Phoenix area in November 2027. Pick the month that fits your calendar.
From most of Texas, the trip is a flight, and this page is written for the Austin end of it. Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio each have their own page, built around their own airports.
If you sit between two of them, read both and pick the airport you would rather drive to. Whichever page you start from, the trainings are the same: Atlanta in March, Scottsdale in February, and online from home.
“So grateful for both of you, Ryan and Shelby. You’re changing my life right as we speak ... the ladies both booked for next week for paid sessions.”
After getting certified she had paid one-on-ones and a group session booked in Santa Clarita.
“I was really looking for something that was more gentle, more supportive ... and Liquid Breathwork delivered just that.”
She arrived a beginner, after one Breathwork class elsewhere that felt like a lot. She left certain that everything we need is already within us.
Hear from past students as they went through our June 2025 training.
A short look at what a full Liquid Breathwork session actually looks like from the inside.
Sells out a women’s only class every month.
Fourteen years a registered nurse, and Ryan’s star student. She has kept those classes full for over two years.
“I felt like that one session of Breathwork was more impactful than multiple sessions of EMDR that I received in therapy.”
He now guides Liquid Breathwork along with practicing as a clinical psychologist.
Leads Breathwork at music festivals.
Gem & Jam and Peak State in Austin, 20+ people on the grass.
“The training gave me the confidence to speak with knowledge about breathwork ... the experiencer is put more at ease and able to go deeper knowing that what is happening is normal and ok.”
He has run a class or two every month since April under his own brand.
“The group calls are supportive and range from business growth to breaking down student’s teachings for feedback.”
Weekly classes, held so consistently that three of her breathers came and got certified in Liquid Breathwork too.
The curriculum is the same in Atlanta, Scottsdale and online. You learn to guide a full Liquid Breathwork session and to hold the room while someone goes deep.
Pacing is trauma-informed. The breather sets the speed and nothing is forced. You also learn the safety side: what to watch for, and when to slow someone down.
Then the business side, so you go home ready to lead sessions for your own people: pricing, booking, and filling a first session. Mentorship from Ryan and Shelby continues after the weekend.
Founder & Lead Facilitator
8 years guiding Breathwork, 7 breath programs behind him including 4 full certifications, and a 21-day Breath Mastery Retreat in the Baja desert with Dan Brulé. He has guided hundreds of one-on-one sessions and led groups for thousands of people. Ryan created the surrender-based method this training is built on.
Co-Founder & Lead Facilitator
A registered nurse of fourteen years, and the graduate Ryan still calls his “Star Student”. She has been selling out women’s only classes almost every month for more than two years. Shelby brings an intuitive & nurturing energy into sessions and the training, which is the part of facilitation nobody learns from a video.
"What a growing experience I have had the pleasure of having with Ryan. I'm so happy I took the chance to reach out when coming across him on the social platform. He has been so warm and authentic from the first moment we got introduced. I have learnt so much through his journey and greatful for him sharing it and the technique of this amazing breathwork with me. Do not hesitate, just do and let Ryan guide you."
"Ryan and Shelby are incredible! They create a very safe and supportive environment to practice Liquid Breathwork. I always get exactly what I need. I highly recommend taking a class!"
"I was so intimidated before starting and to now feel that it’s all possible feels so exciting. Super grateful for this experience!! Thank you Ryan! You’re such a gentle soul, wealth of knowledge, and make learning Breathwork fun and simplified!"
"The Liquid Breathwork Masters Course has been amazing! The videos are packed full of helpful content on the breath, as well as the more technical side of hosting Breathwork classes like audio equipment, Zoom tips, and crafting incredible playlists. The group calls are supportive and range from business growth to breaking down student’s teachings for feedback."
"The space you both created during the course felt incredibly warm, welcoming, and safe, which made it easy to stay present and engaged throughout. The simplicity of the Breathwork really stayed with me, and I've already started noticing how restorative it is. Grateful for the experience and for both of you!"
"LBW is always a worthwhile experience. Ryan and Shelby tend to always find a way to cultivate an environment that allows clients the space to identify and realize what they need. For me, it’s a perfect stage-setter in lead up to a stressful week."
Atlanta, Georgia in March is the nearest, a little over two hours nonstop from AUS. Exact dates and venue TBD. Flexible refund policy. Transfer or refund within 30 days of dates and location being settled. Scottsdale, Arizona in February is the sooner date, about two and a half hours nonstop. The Phoenix area runs again in November 2027, or train online from home.
Both work, so pick the month that fits your calendar. February is the tail of cedar season at home, and Scottsdale is drier and a few degrees warmer that month, an hour behind Austin. Atlanta in March is cooler, with tree pollen near its peak, and an hour ahead. March is also SXSW month in Austin, so book the AUS flight early.
The March 2027 Atlanta training is $1,997, not including lodging or meals. Online is $1,497. Deposits and monthly payment plans are available. Questions: [email protected] or 480-660-9890.
Apply for Atlanta or Scottsdale, or book a call with us first and we will talk through the trip.
