Logging the Hours as a Portland Yoga Teacher

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 Seattle weekend is 24 live hours, most of the 30 that Yoga Alliance asks for every three years.

DatesAugust 27-29, 2027, Friday to Sunday
The clockDoors open at 8:45. We start at 9 and finish around 6. Seattle keeps Portland's Pacific time, so nothing to reset. A 3.5 hour train means arriving Thursday.

The four logging steps are listed on the Yoga Alliance Continuing Education credit page. Liquid Breathwork is not affiliated with Yoga Alliance.

Union Station to King Street Station

We do not hold a training in Oregon. Seattle is the closest, and our only Pacific Northwest date. You can get there by train or nonstop flight, no driving required.

By Train

Amtrak Cascades leaves Union Station several times a day. About 3.5 hours later you step off at King Street Station in Seattle.

Doors open at 8:45 on Friday, so ride up Thursday. Driving instead? It is I-5 the whole way.

By Air

Alaska and Delta both fly PDX to SEA nonstop. The MAX Red Line runs from downtown to the airport in about 40 minutes.

At SEA, the Link 1 Line reaches Westlake downtown in 38 minutes. The Seattle page has the rest.

August in Portland means highs in the mid 70s and about seven rainy days. Seattle runs a touch cooler, around 70 and mostly dry. Pack layers and a light rain shell.

Coming From Elsewhere in Oregon

From Hawthorne, Alberta and Close In

Teach off Hawthorne or up on Alberta? You are already in the city, so leave the car home, go to Union Station and ride the Cascades north on Thursday.

From Eugene, Salem and the Willamette Valley

Amtrak Cascades starts in Eugene and stops at Albany, Salem and Oregon City before Portland, then keeps going to Seattle. The whole valley boards the same train. By car, I-5 runs straight through.

From Vancouver and Southwest Washington

Vancouver has its own Amtrak Cascades stop, so there is no need to cross the river to Union Station first. I-5 heads north from there too.

From Bend, Hood River and the Gorge

Central Oregon has a shortcut: Alaska and Delta both fly Redmond (RDM) to SEA nonstop, which beats crossing the Cascades by car. From Hood River, take I-84 west through the Gorge to Portland and catch the train there.

Or Lake Tahoe or Salt Lake City

Lake Tahoe, July 23-25, is the next closest. Alaska flies PDX to Reno nonstop, then you drive up to the lake. See yoga continuing education near Lake Tahoe. Salt Lake City, April 30 - May 2, is a nonstop too, on Alaska, Delta or Frontier.

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

Weekly classes, held so consistently that three of her breathers came and got certified in Liquid Breathwork too.

Bring a Breathwork Session Back to Portland

You already cue the breath on the mat. In Seattle you learn to hold a full Breathwork session: the active breathing, the holds, and the quiet after.

You guide real breathers all weekend while Ryan and Shelby coach you in the moment. Back home, end a slow flow with it, or run it as a weekend workshop at the studio where you teach.

The lessons a yoga teacher uses the first week home.

  • Vocal Cueing
  • Structuring a Session: The Energetic Arc
  • Trauma-Informed Facilitation
  • Tetany & Why It's Safe
