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.
For Breathwork certification near Pittsburgh, the closest in-person weekend is Washington, D.C., May 21-23, a trip south and east. None of the in-person dates land in Pennsylvania.
A trail already connects the two cities. The Great Allegheny Passage starts at the Point and meets the C&O Canal towpath in Cumberland, Maryland. Together they run 335 miles to Georgetown. The training sits at the D.C. end of that corridor.
Friday to Sunday. Get there by 8:45, we begin at 9 and wrap around 6. We put out snacks. Meals are on you.
Fall suits you better? New York runs October 15-17. Same three days, same certification.
From the new terminal at PIT, American goes nonstop to DCA (Reagan National), and DCA has its own Metro station on the Blue and Yellow lines. Nonstops also run to Dulles and BWI. From BWI, MARC and Amtrak trains go to Union Station.
One Amtrak train a day runs from Pittsburgh to Union Station by way of Connellsville and Cumberland. It is a long day and slower than the car, so ride down the day before.
About 240 miles, a half day on the Turnpike.
Expect highs in the mid 70s and lows near 60, with some rain. Home in May runs a few degrees cooler, low 70s by day and nights near 50, so D.C. evenings will feel mild. Bring a light layer and a rain shell.
Live outside the city? Here is how the towns around Pittsburgh reach a training.
Connellsville, Ohiopyle, Confluence and Meyersdale all sit on the Great Allegheny Passage as it climbs through the Laurel Highlands.
The daily Amtrak train to Washington stops at Connellsville and at Cumberland, Maryland. You can board near home instead of heading into the city first. Ohiopyle and Confluence are closer to Connellsville. Meyersdale is closer to Cumberland.
Get off at Union Station. Everything about the weekend itself is on the Washington, D.C. page.
Your towns are stops on the Pennsylvanian, the daily Amtrak train that heads east through Harrisburg and Philadelphia to New York Penn Station.
So New York (October 15-17) is a one-seat ride for you, while D.C. means a change of trains in Philadelphia, or the drive. Pick by month.
East of Harrisburg already? The Philadelphia page was written for you.
Atlanta comes first in the year (March 19-21), then D.C., then New York in the fall. If the calendar is what decides it, compare all three weekends on the East Coast page.
“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.
You probably already have a place you go to clear your head. A loop through Frick Park, maybe, or a run on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail. The training teaches the other side of that: guiding another person through a Liquid Breathwork session, then a whole circle. The full curriculum lives on the certification page.
Reading another person is the hard part, so most of the hours go there, and we correct your cues in the moment. One rule sits under all of it: whoever is breathing decides how far it goes. That is what trauma-informed means here, and screening happens before anyone lies down.
You also learn the unglamorous pieces: waivers, contraindications, and asking before you touch anyone. The last piece turns Breathwork teacher training near Pittsburgh into work back on this side of the Laurel Highlands: what to charge, and how to fill a first class. Mentoring does not stop on Sunday, and 55 students have enrolled to date.
Want to breathe with a group before you commit? Our Breathwork Pittsburgh guide lists where to find a class around town now.
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."
Washington, D.C., May 21-23, 2027. Venue TBD. Flexible refund policy. Transfer or refund within 30 days of dates and location being settled. After D.C., the next closest in-person training is New York, in October.
Any of the three works. Fly American from PIT straight into DCA, then ride Metro from the airport's own station. Take the one daily Amtrak train to Union Station, a long ride by way of Connellsville and Cumberland. Or drive about 240 miles. Whichever you pick, come down the day before, because we start at 9 on Friday.
The May 21-23 Washington, D.C. 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.
