Spring in D.C. or September in Milwaukee

From Buffalo, D.C. is the closest training, so most teachers start there. D.C. is the spring weekend. Milwaukee follows in early summer, September 17-19.

Flying

Buffalo Niagara International sits in Cheektowaga, about 11 miles east of downtown. Nonstops reach all three D.C. airports.

Reagan National has its own Metro station. From BWI, the airport's rail station runs MARC and Amtrak trains to Union Station, so you can skip the rental car.

Driving

About 375 miles. Leave Thursday and be settled in D.C. before the 8:45 doors on Friday morning.

No need to touch your watch. D.C. runs on Eastern time, same as home.

D.C. in May runs highs in the mid 70s, while Buffalo is still in the upper 60s. It feels like early summer. Pack a light layer and a rain layer.

Coming From Elsewhere in Western New York

From Niagara Falls, the Tonawandas, Amherst and Lockport

Same airport, same trip. BUF serves Niagara Falls as well as Buffalo, and neighbors across the river in Southern Ontario too.

From Rochester, Jamestown and Chautauqua

Rochester has its own airport, so you may not need BUF at all. From Jamestown and Chautauqua County, an Amtrak Thruway bus connects to Buffalo's Exchange Street station.

Or Milwaukee in September

Milwaukee, September 17-19, is another lake city, on Lake Michigan instead of Lake Erie. Check flights into Milwaukee Mitchell from BUF, since some routes connect. See yoga continuing education near Milwaukee.

What Our Graduates Say

Matthew Seibert, Liquid Breathwork certification graduate

Matthew Seibert - Healing practitioner, LBW graduate

“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.

Sisily Chevalier, Liquid Breathwork facilitator

Sisily Chevalier - Owner of Body by Sisily, LBW facilitator

“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.

Krystal, Liquid Breathwork facilitator

Krystal - Realtor, nurse, LBW facilitator

“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.

He now guides Liquid Breathwork along with practicing as a clinical psychologist.

“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.

Brittany Prince guiding a Breathwork class

Brittany Prince - LBW facilitator, owner of Awakened Prana

“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.

Bring a Breathwork Session Back to Buffalo

You already cue the breath in class. In D.C. you learn to hold a whole Breathwork session, from the active breathing through the holds to the rest that follows.

Each round, you guide a classmate and then lie down while they guide you, with notes from Ryan and Shelby. Back home, close a flow class with it, or run a Saturday workshop at the studio where you teach. This is the City of Good Neighbors. Your first breathers may be students you already know.

Between now and the weekend, practice on your own. A slow lap of Hoyt Lake in Delaware Park works. So does a walk along the Buffalo River at Canalside.
