Drive to Tahoe, or Fly to Phoenix

We do not hold a training in the South Bay. From San Jose there are two ways in: drive into the Sierra, or take a short flight to the city we call home.

South Lake Tahoe by Car

Plan on about 4 hours. Get to Sacramento, then take US-50 east over Echo Summit, down through Meyers and on to the Y.

Friday starts at 9am, so come up Thursday. Rather skip the mountain leg? Amtrak Thruway buses and El Dorado Transit both run from Sacramento to South Lake Tahoe.

Phoenix by Air

A nonstop out of SJC takes about 1 hour 50 minutes. Phoenix is where we are based, and our Arizona weekends run in Phoenix and Scottsdale.

One of them is February 5-7 in Scottsdale. Same three days, same 24 live hours. See yoga continuing education near Phoenix.

Picking Tahoe? The South Shore sits at 6,200 feet. Late July runs highs near 80, mornings near 40 and almost no rain, so pack a warm layer for the first session. Drink more water than you think you need, and check AirNow.gov that week for wildfire smoke.

Other Ways In From Northern California

From San Francisco or the East Bay

From the city it is 3.5 to 4 hours on I-80 and US-50. The Bay Area has its own page: yoga continuing education near San Francisco.

Breaking the Drive in Sacramento

Sacramento sits about 2 hours below the lake on US-50, and the mountain buses leave from there. A night in town turns one long drive into two short ones. See yoga continuing education near Sacramento.

Next Closest: Salt Lake City

After Tahoe, the closest in-person training to the South Bay is Salt Lake City, Utah, on April 30 - May 2, a few months before the lake. 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.
