We are based in Phoenix, and Ryan and Shelby teach the D.C. weekend themselves. All three airports reach the city by rail, so you can leave the car at home.
Here is the trip to D.C. from the states around it, by train, plane or car.
From Baltimore, the MARC Penn Line reaches Union Station in about an hour, stopping at West Baltimore, Halethorpe and BWI. On weekends it is the only MARC line running, on a thinner timetable.
Bethesda and Silver Spring are local. Treat this as your home training.
Richmond rides the Northeast Regional from Staples Mill Road in 2 to 2.5 hours, through Ashland, Fredericksburg, Quantico, Woodbridge and Alexandria. Main Street Station is slower.
A daily Regional also runs up from Roanoke through Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Culpeper and Manassas.
The Northeast Regional runs from Norfolk to Union Station in about 4.5 hours. A Thruway bus links Virginia Beach to the train, and Newport News and Williamsburg have trains too.
Driving is about 200 miles on I-64 and I-95, by way of the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel.
Philadelphia is about two hours on Amtrak from 30th Street. Acela and Northeast Regional trains also stop in Wilmington.
Pittsburgh has one daily Amtrak train by way of Connellsville and Cumberland, a drive of about 240 miles, or American nonstop to DCA. Cyclists can ride the Great Allegheny Passage and C&O towpath 335 miles to Georgetown.
The Carolinian boards once a day at Raleigh, Cary and Durham and runs to Union Station. The Triangle is about 260 miles by car.
American flies nonstop to DCA from Raleigh-Durham and Charlotte. Weighing your options? Atlanta is the other training in reach.
Cleveland flies American Eagle to DCA, United to IAD and Southwest to BWI. Akron-Canton has American Eagle to DCA, and Columbus reaches DCA, BWI and IAD. Detroit and Grand Rapids fly in too.
The other training in reach is Milwaukee.
Boston is a short nonstop from Logan to DCA. Providence flies into all three airports, Hartford into DCA and IAD, and Buffalo flies in too.
You can also pick the New York training.
Orlando has nonstops to DCA and IAD, and Tampa has nonstops too. From Miami or Fort Lauderdale it is about 2.5 hours in the air. Jacksonville weighs D.C. against Atlanta in March.
“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 already teach pranayama. This weekend you learn to lead a full Breathwork session: how to open it, build it through the rounds and holds, and bring a room back down.
Fold it into the end of a vinyasa class, or offer it as a stand-alone workshop. You guide real breathers in the room, and Ryan and Shelby give you notes on the spot.
Four lessons that matter most when you lead a room.
