Breathwork Certification for Wellness Professionals
Breathwork certification for wellness professionals is the fastest way to deepen what you already offer. If you teach yoga, counsel, coach, or do bodywork, Liquid Breathwork training adds a trauma-informed Breathwork modality to your practice. Train in person in Arizona, at Lake Tahoe, or online, and keep building the work you love.
Built for Practitioners
You already know how to hold space. That is the hardest part, and it is the part most beginners struggle with. Adding Breathwork to an existing practice is faster and more natural than starting from zero, because the trust and the room-reading are already yours.
This is a layer, not a career change. You keep doing what you do and give your clients a powerful new doorway.
- Yoga teachers. Add Breathwork to classes, workshops, and retreats, and stand out in a crowded studio market.
- Therapists and counselors. Bring a somatic, body-based tool into the room for clients who are stuck in talk alone.
- Coaches and bodyworkers. Build Breathwork into programs and sessions as a deeper transformational offer.
What the Certification Gives You
Our facilitator training teaches the surrender-based method Liquid Breathwork is known for. Tuition starts at $1,497 for the online cohort and $1,997 for the in-person Arizona intensive, up to the Lake Tahoe retreat. You earn the Liquid Breathwork facilitator credential.
We teach more than breath. You leave with the methodology, the safety training, and the business groundwork: how to price Breathwork, fold it into what you already sell, and fill your first sessions. Mentorship from Ryan and Shelby continues long after your last day.
Pick the format that fits your schedule: the in-person Arizona training, the Lake Tahoe retreat, or the fully remote online certification. No prior Breathwork experience is required.
Trauma-Informed, Always
Every Liquid Breathwork session is trauma-informed. You set the pace, you stay in control, and nothing is forced. We guide you inward through gentle surrender, never outward through forced catharsis or screaming. Integration support is always offered, and our door is open if you need to talk.

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!"
