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.
Neither one needs a flight. New York and Washington, D.C. sit on the same Amtrak line, the Northeast Corridor, and both the Acela and the Northeast Regional stop at 30th Street.
Ride up to New York in October 2027 or down to D.C. in May 2027. Either way you practice on real people and get feedback while you guide.
Exact dates and venues for both are still being settled. Flexible refund policy. Transfer or refund within 30 days of dates and location being settled.
Amtrak leaves from William H. Gray III 30th Street Station. Locals just say 30th Street.
Northbound, you step off at Moynihan Train Hall at Penn Station, about 70 to 90 minutes on Amtrak. Southbound, Union Station in D.C. is about two hours on Amtrak.
The cheaper ride to New York is SEPTA's Trenton Line with a change to NJ Transit at Trenton, on a joint ticket.
Flying in? PHL is an American Airlines hub, and SEPTA's Airport Line runs from every terminal to 30th Street about every 30 minutes. It is also your airport for the Phoenix training on the cards above.
October in New York means highs in the 60s and cooler nights, a few degrees cooler than Philly, so pack layers. May in D.C. means highs in the mid 70s, lows near 60, a few rainy days, a couple of degrees warmer than home, so bring a rain layer.
Open the one that fits where you live.
South Jersey is already halfway there. Collingswood, Haddonfield and Cherry Hill ride the PATCO Speedline over the Ben Franklin Bridge into Center City, and 30th Street is a short hop from there. Searching for a Breathwork certification from New Jersey? Same answer: New York in October 2027 or D.C. in May 2027, both on one Amtrak line.
Wilmington gets its own stop. Acela and Northeast Regional trains call there in both directions, so Delaware never has to change at 30th Street. On the Main Line, Ardmore and Paoli have Keystone and SEPTA service straight into 30th Street.
The Keystone Service is your train. It runs from Harrisburg through Lancaster, Exton, Paoli and Ardmore into 30th Street, and most weekday Keystone trains keep going to New York, so you may never change trains at all. For D.C., step off at 30th Street and catch a southbound Regional or Acela.
Breathwork certification from Pennsylvania comes down to a Keystone ticket and a weekend away. Pittsburgh is covered on the Washington, D.C. page. Weighing all three East Coast trainings, Atlanta included? The East Coast page lines them up.
From Buffalo, fly. Several airlines run nonstops from Buffalo Niagara to LaGuardia, JFK and Newark for the New York training, and to Reagan National and Dulles for D.C. Southwest also flies nonstop to Phoenix if the soonest training on the certification page fits your calendar better.
Skip the drive for a weekend training. A short nonstop flight does it.
“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.
Maybe you already breathe on your own. A bench in Rittenhouse Square before work, or Forbidden Drive in the Wissahickon on a Sunday. The training is how you go from breathing for yourself to guiding a room.
Over three days you learn the Liquid Breathwork method start to finish: opening a session, pacing it, staying with someone through a big release without pushing, and closing with integration. The full curriculum, 5 modules and 63 lessons, is on the certification page.
Screening and safety come first. Every session we teach is trauma-informed. You also get the business side: pricing, first clients, and filling a room back home, whether that is a rented room in Fishtown or a backyard in Manayunk. Ryan and Shelby keep mentoring you 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."
