What You Walk Away With

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.

East Coast Breathwork Certification Dates

Breathwork training, East Coast edition. One curriculum, three cities, you pick. Three days each, Friday to Sunday, Ryan and Shelby teaching. Exact dates and venues are still being settled.

TrainingGetting inThat month
Atlanta, GeorgiaMarch 2027 ATL is Delta's main hub, with nonstops from most US cities. By rail, the Crescent pulls in overnight from New York and Washington, D.C. Highs in the mid 60s, nights in the mid 40s. Pack a rain layer.
Washington, D.C.May 2027 DCA, IAD or BWI, each with a train into the city. Amtrak runs into Union Station. From New York, under 3 hours on the fastest Acela. Highs in the mid 70s, lows near 60, a few rainy days.
New YorkOctober 2027 JFK, LaGuardia or Newark. Amtrak runs into Penn Station from Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Highs in the 60s, cooler nights.

Flexible refund policy. Transfer or refund within 30 days of dates and location being settled.

Getting Between the Three Cities

New York and Washington, D.C. share the Northeast Corridor, with Philadelphia and Baltimore on the same line. Under 3 hours on the fastest Acela, no airport.

Atlanta is the outlier. It is not on I-95. South of D.C., I-85 leaves I-95 at Petersburg, Virginia and runs through Durham, Charlotte and Greenville to Atlanta. Nonstop flights link Atlanta with D.C. and New York if you would rather not drive.

One train stops in all three training cities: Amtrak's Crescent, one departure a day each way, overnight with sleeper cars, New York to Atlanta by way of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C. and Charlotte.

What Each Month Looks Like

Atlanta in March 2027: tree pollen peaks in late March, and the yellow dust on the cars is mostly pine. Pack allergy medicine.

Washington, D.C. in May 2027: the azaleas at the National Arboretum often peak in early May. Pack for a few rainy days.

New York in October 2027: cooler nights, and Hudson Valley foliage usually peaks around mid-October if you want to add a day.

Coming from across the East Coast

Not in one of the three cities? Open your part of the seaboard. Each block points you to the right page.

The Southeast and Florida, heading to Atlanta

Charlotte and the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) have the most direct road: I-85 runs from Durham through Charlotte into Atlanta. Carolina readers can also weigh D.C. in May, since the Carolinian runs one train a day from Charlotte through Durham, Raleigh and Richmond to Washington, D.C. Miami to Atlanta is a short nonstop flight, and ATL is Delta's main hub, with nonstops from most US cities. Local details are on the Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Miami, Orlando and Tampa pages, and Birmingham readers are covered on the Atlanta page.

The Mid-Atlantic, heading to D.C.

Philadelphia sits between two trainings. For May, the Northeast Corridor runs from 30th Street Station straight into Union Station, so leave the car in the Delaware Valley. Flying in, DCA has its own Metro station on the Blue and Yellow lines, IAD is on the Silver Line and BWI has an Amtrak and MARC rail station. The Philadelphia page weighs D.C. against New York for Philly readers, and Baltimore, Richmond and Northern Virginia are covered on the Washington, D.C. page.

New England and the Northeast, heading to New York

Boston rides the Acela from South Station straight into Penn Station, and the Boston page covers Greater Boston, Cambridge and the rest of New England, Providence and Hartford included. Philadelphia to New York is about 70 to 90 minutes on Amtrak, so Philly gets a second option in October. If you are flying into the Tri-State: JFK has the AirTrain to Jamaica and Howard Beach, LaGuardia has the free Q70 bus to the subway, and NJ Transit and Amtrak both stop at Newark's airport rail station. The training itself is on the New York page.

Same Training, Three Ways In

Pick Atlanta, D.C. or New York and you get the same three days. Same 63 lessons across 5 modules, same two teachers, same certificate. The city only changes the trip. Choose on timing and travel.

You guide real breathers in the room, with feedback from Ryan and Shelby on your cueing and pacing. Every session is trauma-informed. We screen before anyone lies down, the breather sets the pace, and nothing gets forced.

Then the business side: pricing, your first offer, and filling a room back home. Mentorship from Ryan and Shelby continues after the weekend. The full format is on the certification hub.

Cannot get away in any of the three months? The 12-week online cohort runs from home, same curriculum.
