Conscious Connected Breathwork Training
Conscious connected Breathwork training from a team guiding Breathwork for 8 years. Learn the connected breath, then learn to guide it safely, live online or in person in Phoenix, Arizona.
What Conscious Connected Breathing Is
Conscious connected breathing is a circular breath with no pause between the inhale and the exhale. The moment the exhale ends, the next inhale begins. Most sessions hold that rhythm for 20 to 60 minutes.
It is the method family behind most modern Breathwork styles, and the one we teach in our Breathwork certification. Its oldest branch is Rebirthing, and our Rebirthing Breathwork certification page covers what we kept from it.
The breath is fuller than everyday breathing but never forced. It shifts your blood chemistry for a while, so tingling in the hands and face is common. Emotion and old memories can surface too. Guiding it well means knowing what is normal, what is not, and when to slow the room down.

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.
Surrender, Without Hyperventilating
Ryan went through seven Breathwork programs and earned four certifications, investing about $20,000 of his own money. Some taught a pushy, cathartic style: breathe harder, chase the biggest release. We left that behind.
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. In our sessions the breather sets the pace and nothing is forced. A relaxed breath does the work while the facilitator reads the room and adjusts the session. Ryan and Shelby teach it together, and her nursing background adds a layer of clinical safety. 73 students have enrolled in this training.
These lessons teach the connected breath and how to guide a room through it.

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 the Connected Breath Comes From
Leonard Orr developed Rebirthing in the 1970s after noticing that a circular, connected breath helped memories and emotion clear. He described it as "merging the inhale with the exhale in a gentle relaxed rhythm." Many later styles kept that breath and changed the pace, the music and the goal.
Ryan trained in the Rebirthing line through his mentor Dan Brulé. Here is how the oldest branch compares with a much more intense one and with ours. Our Rebirthing Breathwork guide goes deeper on the history.
| Aspect | Rebirthing | Holotropic Breathwork® | Liquid Breathwork |
|---|---|---|---|
| Origin | Leonard Orr, 1970s | Stanislav and Christina Grof, 1970s | Ryan McBurney, guiding since 2018 |
| Pace | Gentle and relaxed | Faster and deeper, with evocative music | Breather-led, with intermittent breath holds |
| Session | Often one-on-one, taught as a series | 2 to 3 hours, in pairs with a sitter | Group classes with live sound, or private sessions |
| Format | Varies by schoolNo single body sets one Rebirthing training. | Six-day modules, in personUp to two online Virtual Modules can count. | Live training, in person or on online group calls, built around hands-on practice and real experience so you leave confident guiding.3 days in person near Phoenix, or 12 weeks online. |

The curriculum runs five modules and 60+ video lessons, built from the programs Ryan trained in and 8 years of guiding rooms. In order:
- Self MasteryYour own practice first: the L.I.Q.U.I.D. Method, letting go, parts work, and setting intentions with integration prompts.
- Breath MasteryThe history of Breathwork, nose versus mouth breathing, CO2 tolerance, breath holds, the nervous system, and tetany and why it’s safe.
- The Art of FacilitationTrauma-informed facilitation, vocal cueing, consent and touch, reading the breather, and narrated live sessions of Ryan and Shelby guiding each other.
- Breathwork MarketingReferrals, social media, email, your website, and building an offer ladder so people can find your classes.
- Business Setup & ResourcesSession rates, insurance, waivers and contraindications, music and playlists, booking, and the practicum you finish to certify.
How the Training Teaches Safety
A connected breath is gentle for most people, but not for everyone. You learn to screen for contraindications before a session, to tell normal tetany from a reason to stop, and to keep both objective and subjective safety in the room.
Then you practice. Every student guides the others through full sessions and gets feedback on pacing, cueing and how they close a session.
Two Ways to Train
Massage therapists: Liquid Breathwork is an NCBTMB Approved Provider (#1003401). Our separate massage therapist course earns 24 CE hours. See the CE course
More Phoenix cohorts follow on November 6-8, 2026, then February 5-7, 2027 in Scottsdale, from $1,997 early bird. Both formats share one curriculum, including how to market your Breathwork and fill your first classes. The full cost breakdown is public.
The in-person intensive is 24 hours over three days. The online cohort spreads the same material across twelve weeks of live calls, so you practice between sessions. Want both? Our 2027 in-person intensives include the online cohort at no extra cost.

Conscious Connected Breathwork Training FAQ
What is conscious connected breathing?
A circular breath with no pause between the inhale and the exhale. The moment the exhale ends, the next inhale begins. Rebirthing, developed by Leonard Orr in the 1970s, is its oldest named style.
Is conscious connected Breathwork the same as Rebirthing?
No. Conscious connected breathing is the technique; Rebirthing is one tradition built on it. Our training teaches the circular breath, its Rebirthing roots, and our own surrender-based way of guiding it.
What does the training cover?
Five modules and 60+ video lessons: Self Mastery, Breath Mastery, The Art of Facilitation, Breathwork Marketing, and Business Setup & Resources, plus live practice with feedback.
Do I need Breathwork experience first?
No prior Breathwork experience is required. You learn the breath on yourself first, then learn to guide it.
Is conscious connected Breathwork training online or in person?
Both. The online cohort runs 12 weeks with every session taught live, and the in-person training runs three days in Phoenix, Arizona. Deposits and payment plans are available on both.
Do I get certified at the end?
Yes. You graduate with a conscious connected Breathwork certification for life, with no recurring subscription to keep it.
