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.

West or East: Two Ways to Train From San Antonio

We do not run a training in Texas. Breathwork training for San Antonio is a flight either way, and a real choice: Scottsdale and Atlanta sit almost the same distance from home, about 980 miles each way, west on I-10 or east. Pick by month, not mileage.

West is Scottsdale, Arizona in February, dated and on the certification page. Miss it and the Phoenix area comes around again in November 2027.

East is Atlanta in March. Exact dates and venue TBD, so keep an eye on that page.

Three days either way, Friday to Sunday. In the room by 8:45, start at 9, done around 5. Most people fly in Thursday.

Arizona never changes its clocks, so Scottsdale runs an hour behind San Antonio in February. Atlanta runs an hour ahead in March.

In person in Scottsdale

Three days in the room. You guide real people while Ryan and Shelby watch, and you get their feedback before you fly home.

Next: Feb 5-7 · $1,997

Online from home

Live group calls for 12 weeks plus lessons on your own schedule, all from your couch in South Texas. Same certification, no boarding pass.

Flying Out of SAT

Nonstops to both

SAT sits about 8 miles north of downtown and flies nonstop to both cities. Southwest covers Phoenix and Atlanta, Delta adds Atlanta.

VIA Route 5 runs airport to downtown every day, about 30 minutes. Board at the far west end of Terminal B, lower roadway.

Phoenix is Sky Harbor, a Southwest and American hub. There is no light rail into Scottsdale, so plan a ride from the airport.

Atlanta is Hartsfield-Jackson. MARTA rail runs from the Domestic Terminal straight into downtown.

Driving is about 980 miles either way, most of two days on I-10 to Arizona. Book the flight.

February in Scottsdale, March in Atlanta

Scottsdale in February feels a lot like home. Highs near 71 against San Antonio's 67, nights near 49 against 45, about half the rain. Bring layers for the cool desert mornings.

February also brings the Phoenix Open to Scottsdale, so book your room early.

Atlanta in March runs highs in the mid 60s and nights in the mid 40s. About 8 degrees cooler than a San Antonio March, so pack a real jacket.

Tree pollen peaks in late March up there. If it sets you off, pack the allergy medicine. A blocked nose and a Breathwork training do not mix.

Coming from across South Texas

Two things people ask before they book. Open the one you need.

From New Braunfels, Boerne and the rest of Greater San Antonio

New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo and Seguin on the Comal and Guadalupe side. Boerne at the edge of the Hill Country. Alamo Heights just north of downtown, Stone Oak up past Loop 1604. Everyone flies out of SAT, and the nonstops to Phoenix and Atlanta leave from the same airport.

If you searched for Breathwork teacher training near San Antonio, this is the honest answer. The training is a flight away, in Scottsdale or Atlanta, and you come home with the certification.

Looking for a class first? Our Breathwork San Antonio directory shows what is running around the city.

Choosing February in Scottsdale or March in Atlanta

Same distance, about 980 miles by road either way. Same three days, same certification. So pick the month that fits your calendar.

Scottsdale in February already has dates. It is a dry desert weekend an hour behind San Antonio time, about two and a half hours in the air.

Atlanta in March is a little over two hours in the air and an hour ahead. Exact dates and venue TBD. Cooler, wetter, and peak tree pollen.

Miss both and the Phoenix area comes back around in November 2027.

What the Training Covers

Three days in a room is enough to learn how to hold one. You breathe, then you guide, and Ryan and Shelby give you feedback while you are doing it.

The pacing is trauma-informed. The breather sets the speed and nothing gets forced. Safety training is part of the curriculum, and so is the business side: pricing, and filling your first sessions once you are back home.

Mentorship from Ryan and Shelby keeps going after the weekend. You join 55 students enrolled so far. See the full curriculum: 63 lessons across 5 modules.
