Getting to South Lake Tahoe

We are based in Phoenix, and Tahoe is the one place we teach in the Sierra. Our first Lake Tahoe training ran August 21-23, 2026, and we come back for one weekend in 2027.

  • Flying in. Book Reno-Tahoe International (RNO). Lake Tahoe Airport has no airline service, so skip it.
  • Around town. Lake Link runs free on-demand rides on the South Shore, booked in the app.
  • At 6,200 feet. Drink more water than you think you need, and arrive rested. Summer can bring wildfire smoke, so check AirNow.gov that week.
  • Late July weather. Highs near 80, mornings near 40, almost no rain. Pack a warm layer for the first session.

Coming From Nevada, Oregon and Across California

In 2027 this is the only training we hold in Northern California, and the only one in the Sierra. The lake sits on the California and Nevada line, and we teach on the California side, at the south end.

Carson City and Reno, Nevada

Carson City is about 40 minutes. From the Carson Valley, Kingsbury Grade is the steeper two-lane way in.

Reno is about an hour: I-580 to Carson City, then US-50 into the basin. No car? The South Tahoe Airporter runs daily from RNO to Stateline.

Truckee and the North Shore

Truckee is about an hour.

From Kings Beach or Incline Village you drive around the lake to reach the South Shore, so give yourself extra time.

Sacramento

About 2 hours up US-50, one road the whole way. Come up Thursday, because Friday starts at 9am.

No car? Amtrak Thruway buses and El Dorado Transit both run from Sacramento to South Lake Tahoe.

San Francisco and San Jose

The Bay Area is 3.5 to 4 hours: I-80 to Sacramento, then US-50 over Echo Summit, down into Meyers and on to the Y.

San Jose is about 4 hours.

Portland, Las Vegas and Los Angeles

Fly into Reno-Tahoe. Alaska flies nonstop from Portland, and Southwest gets you there from Las Vegas in about an hour and a half. From LA, fly to Reno and drive about an hour.

Honolulu

There is no nonstop to Reno. Hawaiian and Southwest fly nonstop to Sacramento, and from there it is US-50 into the mountains.

Rather a different date or region? The nearest other 2027 training is Salt Lake City, April 30 - May 2, 2027.

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.

“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.
