This training is available for 24 hours of Yoga Alliance® Continuing Education credit through the Subject Matter Expert pathway. You must be a current RYT to log the hours. The Milwaukee weekend is 24 live hours. Yoga Alliance asks for 30 every three years, so one trip covers most of a cycle.

By Boat From Muskegon, or Around the Lake

We do not hold a training in Michigan. Milwaukee is the closest, and on a map it looks close. Lake Michigan sits in between, so you cross it by ferry or go around the south end through Chicago.

The Lake Express

Muskegon is about 40 miles away, where I-96 meets the lake. The Lake Express, a high-speed ferry, covers the roughly 80 miles to Milwaukee in 2.5 hours. Walk on or bring the car. Both terminals have parking.

The 2027 schedule is not posted yet. In mid-June 2026 the boats made two round trips a day with no evening sailing. If 2027 matches, the morning boat lands after our 9am start and the last one home leaves before we finish. Cross on Thursday and sail back Monday, or take the ferry over and drive home.

Two Trains, by Way of Chicago

The Pere Marquette leaves the Vernon J. Ehlers Station once a day. It stops in Holland and St. Joseph and reaches Chicago Union Station in about 4 hours.

From Union Station, the Hiawatha gets to Milwaukee in 1 hour 29 minutes, with 7 round trips a day (6 on Sunday). Build a night into the trip instead of betting on a tight connection.

Driving the whole way? Go around the bottom of the lake through Chicago and up into Wisconsin. Chicago traffic swings the drive time a lot, so check it for the day you leave.

Milwaukee in September runs low 70s by day and mid 50s at night, about the same as a Grand Rapids September. The lake cools the Milwaukee shore, so pack a layer for evenings.

Starting Somewhere Other Than Grand Rapids?

From Muskegon, Holland and Grand Haven

Live in Muskegon? The ferry leaves from your town, so the I-96 drive drops out of the trip. Grand Haven, where the Grand River meets Lake Michigan, is a short run up the shore to the dock. Holland is a Pere Marquette stop, so the Chicago train starts close to home. Want a local class first? See Breathwork near Muskegon.

From Kalamazoo and Battle Creek

Kalamazoo and Battle Creek sit on the Wolverine, which ends at Chicago Union Station, the same building the Hiawatha leaves from. That is two trains and one change. Reach Milwaukee the evening before so Friday morning never rides on a connection. Closer to Lansing or Metro Detroit? See yoga continuing education near Detroit.

Or D.C. in May

Gerald R. Ford International, Michigan's second-busiest airport, flies nonstop to D.C. Washington, D.C. runs May 21-23. Same three days, same 24 live hours to log. See yoga continuing education near Washington, D.C.

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 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

Bring a Breathwork Session Back to Grand Rapids

You already teach students to follow the breath. In Milwaukee you learn to lead a full Breathwork session: the active breathing, the holds, and the quiet rest after.

You guide real breathers in the room, and Ryan and Shelby give notes. Back home, end a class with it or build a weekend workshop around it.

Four lessons that carry straight into a studio class.

  • Phrases for Guiding a Session
  • Structuring a Session: The Energetic Arc
  • Trauma-Informed Facilitation
  • Events, Booking & Payments

Your own practice comes home too, whether that is a bench at Meijer Gardens or a walk along the Grand River. For the full certification picture, see Breathwork certification near Grand Rapids. To try a local class first, see Breathwork in Grand Rapids.
