Surrender to the Power of the Breath

Breathwork is a conscious breathing practice used for stress relief, emotional release, and mental clarity. Through guided breathing techniques, participants access heightened states of awareness, calm the nervous system, and release stored tension. Research from institutions like the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) shows controlled breathing practices can reduce cortisol levels by up to 25% and improve heart rate variability.

Liquid Breathwork is a surrender-based, inward journey that blends activation with deep relaxation. Unlike styles that encourage screaming or cathartic releases (which can distract from going deeper), our approach uses hypnotic guidance while empowering you to follow your own inner knowing. We integrate sound healing and Reiki into every session, creating an immersive, multi-sensory experience. Our founder Ryan McBurney developed this method over 9 years and 284 hours of professional training across SOMA Breath, Somatiq Breathwork, and Rebirthing traditions.

You'll lie down comfortably while your facilitator guides you through a breathing pattern set to immersive music, sound healing, and Reiki energy work. Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes. Most people experience deep relaxation, emotional release, tingling sensations, or vivid imagery. No prior experience is needed. Just bring an open mind, a yoga mat, and a blanket.

We hold weekly group breathwork classes across Arizona in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Flagstaff, Prescott, and Tucson. We also offer classes in Lake Tahoe, California. Check our full class schedule for times and locations near you. Can't make it in person? Our online membership includes guided audio sessions you can do from home.

Our Breathwork Certification is a 100+ hour facilitator training program, NCBTMB-approved for continuing education. It's designed for coaches, yogis, therapists, and healers who want to add breathwork to their practice. You'll learn to hypnotically guide surrender-based sessions, create immersive retreat experiences, and master the full spectrum of breathwork techniques. Co-taught by Ryan McBurney and Shelby Von Oepen, RN, BSN. Learn more about certification.

Breathwork is generally safe for most people. Our co-instructor Shelby Von Oepen is a Registered Nurse (RN, BSN), ensuring sessions are held to clinical safety standards. However, breathwork is not recommended for people with epilepsy, severe cardiovascular conditions, or those in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. If you have concerns, consult your doctor before attending.
