In this 14-minute video, Ryan breaks down what Liquid Breathwork actually is, what makes it different from other styles like holotropic or somatic Breathwork, and why the surrender-based approach allows people to go deeper.
He walks through the three pillars of the teacher training: your own self-mastery journey, facilitation mastery, and Breathwork marketing so you actually know how to fill classes and build a sustainable practice.
“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.

Fourteen years a registered nurse, and Ryan’s star student. She has kept those classes full for over two years.

“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.

How to price your sessions, find your first clients, market yourself authentically, approach studios and retreat centers, and scale from one-on-one sessions to group classes, corporate events, and retreats.

Breathwork is one of the fastest-growing wellness modalities in the world, and the demand for qualified facilitators is growing faster than the supply. Whether you are a yoga teacher, coach, therapist, or completely new to wellness, facilitation gives you a tool that works directly with the nervous system (and reaches people where talk alone often cannot).
This is one of the most established in-person Breathwork certifications in the United States, taught at our Breathwork certification in Arizona or live online from anywhere. Comparing programs first? Read our breathwork certification guide or the full breathwork certification cost breakdown.

Founder & Lead Facilitator
Ryan is the founder of Liquid Breathwork and the creator of the surrender-based methodology at the heart of this training. He has spent years guiding hundreds of people through transformative Breathwork experiences across Arizona and beyond. His facilitation style is grounded, intuitive, and deeply present. Ryan brings both the technical depth and the lived experience to teach you not just the how of Breathwork, but the why.
Co-Founder & Lead Facilitator
Shelby brings warmth, emotional intelligence, and deep somatic skill to every training. She has an exceptional ability to read the subtle language of the nervous system, recognizing when someone needs support, space, or gentle encouragement. Her training in somatic support and ethical touch practices ensures that graduates leave with the sensitivity and skill to work with clients at the body level.
"What a growing experience I have had the pleasure of having with Ryan. I'm so happy I took the chance to reach out when coming across him on the social platform. He has been so warm and authentic from the first moment we got introduced. I have learnt so much through his journey and greatful for him sharing it and the technique of this amazing breathwork with me. Do not hesitate, just do and let Ryan guide you."
"Ryan and Shelby are incredible! They create a very safe and supportive environment to practice Liquid Breathwork. I always get exactly what I need. I highly recommend taking a class!"
"I was so intimidated before starting and to now feel that it’s all possible feels so exciting. Super grateful for this experience!! Thank you Ryan! You’re such a gentle soul, wealth of knowledge, and make learning Breathwork fun and simplified!"
"The Liquid Breathwork Masters Course has been amazing! The videos are packed full of helpful content on the breath, as well as the more technical side of hosting Breathwork classes like audio equipment, Zoom tips, and crafting incredible playlists. The group calls are supportive and range from business growth to breaking down student’s teachings for feedback."
"The space you both created during the course felt incredibly warm, welcoming, and safe, which made it easy to stay present and engaged throughout. The simplicity of the Breathwork really stayed with me, and I've already started noticing how restorative it is. Grateful for the experience and for both of you!"
"LBW is always a worthwhile experience. Ryan and Shelby tend to always find a way to cultivate an environment that allows clients the space to identify and realize what they need. For me, it’s a perfect stage-setter in lead up to a stressful week."
The training includes both in-person and online components. The in-person immersion is an intensive multi-day training in Arizona with hands-on facilitation practice. The online component continues with video modules, live group calls, and mentorship. Most participants feel confident guiding sessions within a few weeks of completing the core training.
Mostly language. Different programs pick different words for the same work: guiding people through Breathwork safely. Practitioner tends to emphasize private 1-on-1 sessions, teacher and instructor lean toward group classes, and coach usually means someone folding Breathwork into an existing coaching practice. Our certification trains you for all of it, and our graduates use the titles interchangeably.
No prior Breathwork experience is required. Our training is designed for both complete beginners and experienced wellness professionals. What matters most is your genuine desire to learn and your willingness to do the inner work alongside the practical training.
You earn the Liquid Breathwork Facilitator Certification on completion. Our graduates are working successfully as trained facilitators across Arizona and beyond.
Tuition is $1,997, and the first 3 spots in each cohort open at $1,697 early bird until they sell. The September Phoenix cohort's early bird spots are gone; the November cohort still has early bird pricing. It includes the full teacher training, all course materials, ongoing mentorship, marketing and business support, and access to the private graduate community. Most comparable programs range from $4,000 to $7,000. Monthly payment plans available.
The training includes both in-person and online components. The in-person training in Arizona is where you get hands-on experience with facilitation, somatic support, and live practice. The online components include video modules, live group calls, and mentorship from anywhere.
Guide private sessions, facilitate at retreats and wellness events, offer corporate wellness programs, integrate Breathwork into existing coaching/therapy/yoga practice, or build a standalone Breathwork business. Our business module covers everything you need.
Surrender-based methodology (not cathartic or control-based), comprehensive business training included, small cohort sizes for personal attention, and ongoing mentorship and community support after graduation. We invest in your long-term success.
Many graduates earn back their investment within the first few months. Private sessions range from $100 to $300 each. Beyond financial return, graduates consistently report this is among the most meaningful work they have ever done.
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans because financial circumstances should not be a barrier. Contact us at inhale@liquidbreathwork.com or call 480-660-9890.
In-person training is held in the Phoenix metro area of Arizona, primarily in Mesa. Online components can be completed from anywhere in the world.
The next online cohort starts October 6, 2026. It runs for 12 weeks in a live, small-group format with weekly group calls, video modules, and ongoing mentorship from Ryan and Shelby. Tuition is $1,497, and monthly payment plans are available. You can join from anywhere, and no prior Breathwork experience is required.
Both pathways teach the same surrender-based Liquid Breathwork method. The 12-week online cohort (starts October 6, 2026, $1,497) is the most flexible option, with live weekly group calls you can join from anywhere. The three-day in-person Phoenix intensives run Friday through Sunday on September 25-27 ($1,997), October 23-25, 2026 ($1,697 early bird for the first 3 spots, then $1,997), and November 6-8, 2026 ($1,697 early bird for the first 3 spots, then $1,997), with hands-on facilitation practice and time to connect with your cohort in person. Choose online for flexibility, or Phoenix for an immersive in-person experience.
The decision to become a Breathwork facilitator is not just a career move. It is a commitment to your own healing and growth, and to being someone who creates that space for others. If something on this page resonated with you, trust that.
