Penn Station to Union Station

We don't hold a training in New York City right now. From the City, Washington, D.C. is the closest, and Amtrak gets you there without a flight.

  • From Manhattan. Board at Moynihan Train Hall. The Acela takes about 3 hours to Union Station, the Northeast Regional about 3.5.
  • From North Jersey. Board closer to home at Newark Penn or Metropark.
  • In D.C. Union Station sits on the Metro Red Line, so you won't need a car.
  • Pack for May. Highs in the mid 70s, lows near 60 and a few rainy days, so bring a rain layer.

Coming From Nearby States

Yoga teachers from New York State, New Jersey and Connecticut all reach the same train south.

  • The Tri-State

    LIRR from Long Island into Penn Station, Metro-North from Westchester into Grand Central and a short subway ride across, or NJ Transit from North Jersey.

    From there it is one Amtrak ride to D.C.

  • Hudson Valley and Albany

    Amtrak's Empire Service runs from Albany-Rensselaer, Hudson, Rhinecliff and Poughkeepsie into Penn Station.

    Change there for a southbound Regional or Acela.

  • Connecticut

    Stamford, New Haven and the shoreline sit on the same Amtrak line, so you can ride straight through to D.C.

    Hartford has its own page: yoga continuing education near Hartford.

  • Rather fly?

    Atlanta runs March 19-21 and Milwaukee runs September 17-19, each about a 2-hour flight from LaGuardia, JFK or Newark.

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.

A Full Session to Lead After Savasana

Most yoga teachers already cue the breath. This weekend teaches you to lead a whole Breathwork session: open it, carry the room through the rounds and holds, and bring everyone back.

Add it to the end of a class, or pitch it to a studio as its own evening workshop. You lead real breathers in the room, and Ryan and Shelby give you notes right there.

Four lessons for leading a room of your own.

  • Opening a Session & the Breathwork Script
  • Phrases for Guiding a Session
  • Music & Playlists: Building the Energy Arc
  • Trauma-Informed Facilitation
