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.
Each profession answers to a different board or registry, so start with yours.
| You are | How it counts |
|---|---|
| Registered Yoga Teacher | Log the training with Yoga Alliance® through the Subject Matter Expert pathway. Details: Breathwork continuing education for yoga teachers. |
| Licensed massage therapist | We teach a separate 24-hour live course built for you. Details: Breathwork continuing education for massage therapists. |
| Nurse, counselor, or other licensed professional | We hold no approval from your board. Ask it before you enroll, and treat the training as a new skill. Nurses, see Breathwork certification for nurses. |
Whichever row is yours, you train with Ryan McBurney and Shelby Von Oepen, RN, and finish with the Liquid Breathwork Facilitator Certification.
“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.
You learn to guide a full Breathwork session safely: screening, the physiology behind the tingling, and what to do when someone shuts down.
Every session is trauma-informed. The breather sets the pace and nothing is forced.
The lessons closest to the work you already do.
Breathwork training a working professional takes to add a skill and, where their board or registry allows it, count toward required hours. Ours is a 3-day in-person intensive or a 12-week live online cohort.
It depends on who sets your requirement. Registered Yoga Teachers log the training with Yoga Alliance. Massage therapists take our separate course built for them. For any other license, ask your board before you enroll.
Yes. The online cohort runs 12 weeks from anywhere, with a live group call each week and video lessons in between.
