Getting to the Phoenix Area

Liquid Breathwork is based in Phoenix, so this is our home training, taught in person by Ryan and Shelby.

  • Flying in. Phoenix Sky Harbor is a Southwest and American hub, and Allegiant flies to Phoenix-Mesa. Scottsdale is a short drive from Sky Harbor, but no light rail runs there, so plan a ride from the airport.
  • Across the Valley. Mesa and Tempe are a short drive from either city, so Valley teachers can sleep at home.
  • From Tucson or Flagstaff. Plan on two nights in town, because each day starts at 8:00 AM.
  • February in Scottsdale. Highs run near 71 and nights near 49. The Phoenix Open lands that month too, so book your room early.
  • Try a class first. Our Breathwork classes run around the Valley, including at InnerVision Yoga in South Tempe.

Coming From Nearby Cities and States

From Elsewhere in Arizona

Tucson is about two hours up I-10, and Flagstaff about two hours south on I-17. Each day starts at 8:00 AM, so teachers from either city plan on two nights in town. Prescott is about 90 minutes down the hill, out of the pines and into the Valley.

From Las Vegas and Nevada

LAS to Sky Harbor is about 75 minutes nonstop on Southwest, American or Frontier. To drive, US 93 is the shortest way, about 290 miles: over the Hoover Dam bypass bridge, through Kingman, then the Joshua Forest Scenic Byway toward Wickenburg. Reno teachers have a 2-hour nonstop from Reno-Tahoe.

From Los Angeles and San Diego

From LAX the flight is about 1 hour 20 minutes, or you drive I-10 in five to six hours. San Diego is about 1 hour 20 minutes nonstop from SAN, or about 5 hours east on I-8.

From the Bay Area and Northern California

Phoenix is a 2-hour nonstop from SFO, Oakland and Sacramento, and about 1 hour 50 minutes from San Jose. Your other option is South Lake Tahoe, a 3.5 to 4 hour drive from San Francisco: see yoga continuing education near Lake Tahoe.

From New Mexico and Utah

From Albuquerque, Southwest and American fly nonstop to Phoenix in about 1 hour 20 minutes. Utah teachers can stay closer to home with yoga continuing education near Salt Lake City, about 1 hour 40 minutes from Phoenix by air.

From Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado

San Antonio and Austin are each about two and a half hours nonstop, and Oklahoma City has Southwest and American Eagle nonstops. Arizona never changes its clocks, so Scottsdale runs an hour behind Texas and Oklahoma in February. Texas and Oklahoma teachers also have yoga continuing education near Atlanta. From DEN, Phoenix is about two hours nonstop and Salt Lake City about 90 minutes: see yoga continuing education near Salt Lake City.

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.

What You Bring Back to Your Classes

You cue the breath in every class already. Over three days you learn to guide a full Breathwork session, from the first active breath through the holds to the quiet at the end.

Close a class with it, or run it as its own workshop at the studio where you teach. You practice on real breathers in the room, and Ryan and Shelby give notes while it is fresh.

Four lessons yoga teachers use first.

  • Vocal Cueing
  • Breathwork Session Structure
  • Music & Playlists: Building the Energy Arc
  • The Nervous System & Polyvagal Theory
