Fly In, Then Take the Train
We are based in Phoenix, and Ryan and Shelby teach the D.C. weekend themselves. All three airports reach the city by rail, so you can leave the car at home.
- DCA (Reagan National). Its Metro station on the Blue and Yellow lines is joined to Terminal 2 by a covered bridge.
- IAD (Dulles). Ride the Silver Line about 50 minutes into the city.
- BWI. Take the free terminal shuttle to BWI Rail Station, then MARC or Amtrak to Union Station.
- By rail. Amtrak stops at Union Station. From New York, the fastest Acela takes under three hours.
- Already in the DMV. Arlington, Alexandria and Reston are on Metro, and Bethesda and Silver Spring are inside the DMV too.
- May weather. Highs in the mid 70s, lows near 60, about a dozen wet days, and humid by month's end. Bring a light layer and a rain shell. The National Arboretum's azaleas often hold into early May.

What Our Graduates Say
“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.
“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.
“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.
Hear from past students as they went through our June 2025 training.
A short look at what a full Liquid Breathwork session actually looks like from the inside.
Sells out a women’s only class every month.
Fourteen years a registered nurse, and Ryan’s star student. She has kept those classes full for over two years.
“I felt like that one session of Breathwork was more impactful than multiple sessions of EMDR that I received in therapy.”
He now guides Liquid Breathwork along with practicing as a clinical psychologist.
Leads Breathwork at music festivals.
Gem & Jam and Peak State in Austin, 20+ people on the grass.
“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.
“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 Breathwork Session You Can Teach
You already teach pranayama. This weekend you learn to lead a full Breathwork session: how to open it, build it through the rounds and holds, and bring a room back down.
Fold it into the end of a vinyasa class, or offer it as a stand-alone workshop. You guide real breathers in the room, and Ryan and Shelby give you notes on the spot.
Four lessons that matter most when you lead a room.
- Trauma-Informed Facilitation
- Structuring a Session: The Energetic Arc
- Phrases for Guiding a Session
- Insurance, Waivers & Contraindications
