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.

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, March 19-21, 2027.
Three days either way, Friday to Sunday. In the room by 8:45, start at 9, done around 6. 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.
Massage therapists: Liquid Breathwork is an NCBTMB Approved Provider (#1003401). Our separate massage therapist course earns 24 CE hours. See the CE course
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. The weekend is March 19-21. Cooler, wetter, and peak tree pollen.
Miss both and the Phoenix area comes back around in November 2027.
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
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. 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. 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 73 students enrolled so far. The weekend itself is mostly hands-on practice, with feedback in real time. See the full curriculum.

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.

San Antonio Breathwork Certification FAQ
Where is the closest Breathwork certification to San Antonio?
Two trainings sit about the same distance from San Antonio, roughly 980 miles by road each way: Scottsdale, Arizona in February and Atlanta, Georgia in March. Atlanta is set for March 19-21. The Phoenix area runs again in November 2027, and the online training runs from home.
Is it easier to fly from San Antonio to Scottsdale or to Atlanta?
About the same. SAT has nonstops to both: about two and a half hours to Phoenix, a little over two hours to Atlanta. Scottsdale is an hour behind San Antonio in February and Atlanta is an hour ahead in March, so set your alarm for the right clock.
How much does the Breathwork certification cost?
The February 5-7 Scottsdale training is $2,497, 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.
