You leave ready to guide two sessions on your own: our signature Liquid Breathwork session and a Rebirthing session, from the opening and the breath to consent-based touch and the close. You also learn trauma-informed safety.
Ryan and Shelby actively guide multiple sessions every month. We share the exact strategies we use to build community and keep clients coming back, so you can book your first paid clients.
Both formats end with the same certification, taught by Ryan and Shelby in a small cohort. In person is three days in the room. Online is 12 weeks of live group calls plus 60+ video lessons. The graduate community and mentorship stay with you after.
If you can travel, come in person. Breathing in a room with your cohort is the one part a screen can't give you.
Our first Lake Tahoe training ran August 21-23, 2026 in South Lake Tahoe. In 2027 it is the only training we hold in Northern California, and the only one in the Sierra.
Three days, Friday to Sunday. Arrive at 8:45, we start at 9, and you finish around 6pm. The South Shore sits above 6,200 feet, so drink more water than you think you need and arrive rested.
Evenings are yours. Swim in the lake, sit by it, or walk a stretch of the Tahoe Rim Trail, the 165-mile loop around the whole lake.
The address goes out by email before the training. For drop-in sessions, see the Lake Tahoe Breathwork classes page. The nearest other 2027 date is Salt Lake City, April 30 - May 2, 2027.
Fly into Reno-Tahoe International (RNO). Lake Tahoe Airport in South Lake Tahoe is general aviation only, no airline service, so don't book a flight there.
From Reno it is about an hour: I-580 to Carson City, then US-50 up into the basin. No rental car? The South Tahoe Airporter runs daily from RNO to Stateline; pickup is through Door D at the end of baggage claim. On the South Shore, Lake Link gives you free on-demand rides around town, booked in the app.
From Sacramento or the Bay Area, US-50 climbs over Echo Summit, drops into Meyers, and meets SR-89 at the Y. From the Carson Valley, Kingsbury Grade is the steeper two-lane way in.
Highs near 80, mornings near 40, and almost no rain. Pack warm layers for the walk in, sun protection for the afternoon, and a water bottle for the altitude. Summer can bring wildfire smoke into the basin, so check AirNow.gov the week of the training.
Pick your direction. Each note has the route and the page for your city.
Reno is about an hour away, Carson City about 40 minutes, and Truckee about an hour. Lake Tahoe is about two-thirds in California and one-third in Nevada, and the training is on the California side, at the south end. If you live on the North Shore, in Kings Beach or Incline Village, you are driving around the lake to get here, so give yourself the extra time. Your city has its own page: Reno, Carson City or Truckee.
Sacramento is about 2 hours up US-50, one road the whole way. The Bay Area is 3.5 to 4 hours: I-80 to Sacramento, then US-50 over Echo Summit. Without a car, Amtrak Thruway buses and El Dorado Transit both connect Sacramento to South Lake Tahoe. Come up Thursday if you can, because the Friday start is 9am. We have pages for Sacramento, San Francisco and San Jose.
From Los Angeles, Las Vegas or Portland, fly into Reno-Tahoe International, then it is about an hour to the South Shore by car, or take the Airporter. Honolulu has no nonstop to Reno; Hawaiian and Southwest fly nonstop to Sacramento, and from there it is US-50 into the mountains. Each city has its own page: Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Portland.
“One of the things that really stood out for me during the training was a lot of the hands-on practice that we got, all the reps. It helped me feel more prepared and more confident in my ability to facilitate Breathwork on my own.”
He chose Liquid Breathwork after comparing several certification programs, and now brings Breathwork into the healing work he already does.
“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.

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.
Liquid Breathwork is a surrender-based inward journey: still powerful, but not as intense as some styles like Holotropic Breathwork, so you can actually go deeper through surrender. You learn to guide a breather down into the body instead of driving them toward a peak, and you leave with the Liquid Breathwork facilitator credential. Most of the three days is practice: you guide, you get feedback in real time, and the training manual ties it together. The full curriculum is on the certification page.
Most of the weekend is practice. You guide real people, you get guided, and Ryan and Shelby give you notes while you are still in the room.
Trauma-informed pacing runs through all of it. The breather sets the pace, nothing is pushed, and integration support comes after. You also cover safety, then the business side: pricing, marketing, and filling your first sessions back home. Mentorship from Ryan and Shelby continues after Sunday.

Beyond our method. You'll study how Holotropic Breathwork®, the Wim Hof Method®, transformational Breathwork and Rebirthing work, so you know where each one comes from and how ours differs. You'll also learn both ends of the breath: when to breathe more than the body needs (hyperventilation), when to breathe less (hypoventilation), and how to guide people safely through either.
Holotropic Breathwork and the Wim Hof Method are registered trademarks of their owners. Liquid Breathwork is not affiliated with them, and your certification is in the Liquid Breathwork method.

He has been so warm and authentic from the first moment we got introduced. I have learnt so much through his journey and grateful 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."
