What You Walk Away With
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, and from 2027 it includes the online cohort at no extra cost. Online on its own is 12 weeks of live group calls plus 60+ video lessons, for less. 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.

Breathwork Training From Jacksonville
The closest training to Jax is Atlanta, March 19-21. It is also the only Southeast date on our 2027 calendar.
Jax is already warm in March, so this trip is about the date. Atlanta is the nearest one, and you stay on Eastern time the whole weekend.
You can fly or drive. A short nonstop out of JAX, or about 345 miles up I-10 and I-75.
Three days, Friday to Sunday, 9am to 6pm. Most people arrive Thursday. We bring snacks; plan your own meals.
Rather wait for late spring? Washington, D.C. runs May 21-23.
Massage therapists: Liquid Breathwork is an NCBTMB Approved Provider (#1003401). Our separate massage therapist course earns 24 CE hours. See the CE course
JAX to Atlanta, by Air or by Road
Flying
JAX sits 13 miles north of downtown. Delta and Frontier both fly nonstop to Atlanta, about an hour and a quarter in the air.
ATL is Delta's main hub. From the Domestic Terminal, Five Points and Midtown are a short MARTA ride, so you can leave the rental car alone.
Driving
About 345 miles: I-10 west to Lake City, then I-75 north through Macon. Call it a long half day on the road, and give yourself Thursday for it.
Hoping for a train? Amtrak out of Jacksonville never stops in Atlanta.
March in Atlanta
Back home, March runs mid 70s by day. Atlanta is about eight degrees cooler, highs in the mid 60s, nights in the mid 40s. Bring layers and a rain shell, not a parka.
Late March is peak tree pollen up there, and that yellow dust is pine. If it gets you, pack your allergy meds. You want clear airways for a breath training.
Runners, the Gate River Run is the first Saturday of March, earlier in the month than the Atlanta weekend. Run the bridges, then come up and breathe.
Coming from across Northeast Florida
Jacksonville is the biggest city by area in the lower 48, and the First Coast stretches past it in every direction. Here is the short version by area.
From St. Augustine and St. Johns County
St. Augustine sits about 40 miles south of downtown Jacksonville and is still part of the metro. Ponte Vedra Beach and the rest of St. Johns County fly out of JAX like everyone else, or drive the whole way north.
Either way you end up in the same room in Atlanta on March 19-21. If you already teach yoga or lead circles down the coast, those three days are where you practice holding a full room before you bring it home.
From the Beaches and Amelia Island
Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Mayport: your airport is JAX too, on the north side of the city, 13 miles above downtown.
Fernandina Beach, on Amelia Island, is the Nassau County seat, about 25 miles northeast of downtown. Fly out of JAX, or load the car and drive to Atlanta so you have your own wheels for the weekend. Coming from the Beaches or the island, the training dates are the same: March 19-21.
March in Atlanta or May in D.C.
Two in-person dates sit within reach of Northeast Florida. Atlanta (March 19-21) is closest and comes first. Washington, D.C. (May 21-23) is a flight, and JAX has nonstops to all three D.C. airports.
Clay and Baker County readers, Orange Park out to Macclenny, face the same choice from the same airport. Pick by calendar; both end in the same certification. The East Coast page puts them side by side.
What Our Graduates Say
“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.
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.

What the Training Covers
Looking for Breathwork teacher training near Jacksonville? Here is what the three days in Atlanta cover. 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. The full curriculum lives on the certification page.
The pace is trauma-informed. The breather sets the depth. You learn to read a body, slow a session down, and bring someone back gently when it runs big.
Safety gets real time: who should sit this style out, consent before any touch, and what to do in the room when something surfaces.
Then the business side, pricing and filling your first sessions, whether that is a living room in San Marco or a porch near the water. Mentorship keeps going after the weekend. 73 students enrolled so far.

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.
The In-Person Immersive
Three days in the room, Friday through Sunday. Ryan McBurney and Shelby Von Oepen, RN BSN, co-lead every training. You receive sessions yourself, then guide your classmates while Ryan and Shelby give you feedback in the moment.
Cohorts are small, so everyone gets real reps guiding full Breathwork sessions. You graduate with the Liquid Breathwork Facilitator Certification.
2027 tuition is $1,997 early bird while early-bird seats last, then $2,497, with monthly payment plans, and the full 12-week online cohort is included at no extra cost. We email the exact address before the training.
The 12-Week Live Online Cohort
The same curriculum, run from home. Our 2027 in-person immersives include it at no extra cost, or take it on its own for less. Each week pairs one live group call with Ryan and Shelby and a video module you watch on your own schedule.
The calls are where the work happens: teaching, live breakout practice, feedback on your facilitation, and business coaching. In small breakout rooms you guide a classmate and are guided in return.
The next cohort starts March 9, 2027. Tuition is $1,497 early bird through January 1, 2027, then $1,797, with monthly payment plans.

Where is the closest Breathwork certification to Jacksonville?
Atlanta, Georgia, March 19-21. After that, Washington, D.C. runs May 21-23. If a trip is off the table, the online training gets you the same certification from your couch.
Can I drive from Jacksonville to the Atlanta training, or should I fly?
Either one works. The JAX nonstop is about an hour and a quarter in the air, and MARTA takes you from the airport into town. By car it is about 345 miles on I-10 and I-75, and most drivers head up Thursday. If Thursday is a workday, fly. If you want your own wheels in Atlanta, drive.
How much does the Breathwork certification cost?
The March 19-21 Atlanta training is $1,997, not including lodging or meals. Online is $1,497 early bird through January 1, 2027, then $1,797. Deposits and monthly payment plans are available. Questions: inhale@liquidbreathwork.com or 480-660-9890.
