Same Method, Every Path

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.

The Depth of In-Person, with the Flexibility of Online

Breathwork certification online cohort guided by Ryan during a live group session

Online does not mean watered down. You learn the exact same surrender-based Liquid Breathwork method we teach in person, the one built from the nearly $20,000 Ryan has personally invested in breathwork trainings. The difference is you do it live, with a small group, from your own space.
