How Liquid Breathwork Is Different
Liquid Breathwork is a gentle, surrender-based style. We guide with hypnotic language while you follow your own inner knowing, and the session moves between activation and deep relaxation. Nobody gets pushed, and our prices are on the page.

Breathwork FAQ
What is Breathwork?
Breathwork is a conscious breathing practice for stress relief, emotional release and mental clarity. A guided session calms the nervous system and lets stored tension go.
How is Liquid Breathwork different from other breathwork styles?
Sessions are surrender-based and gentle, with sound healing and Reiki in every one. Co-founder Ryan McBurney has guided Breathwork since 2018 and built the method from seven training programs and four certifications, including SOMA Breath, Somatiq Breathwork and Rebirthing.
What should I expect in my first breathwork class?
You lie down while your facilitator guides a breathing pattern set to music, sound healing and Reiki. Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes. Most people feel deep relaxation, tingling, emotional release or vivid imagery. No experience needed; bring a yoga mat and a blanket.
Where are Liquid Breathwork classes held?
We hold weekly group classes in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Flagstaff, Prescott and Tucson, plus Lake Tahoe, California. The full class schedule has times. Can't come in person? The online membership has guided audio sessions for home.
How do I become a trained breathwork facilitator?
Take our Breathwork Teacher Training, a 24-hour facilitator training for coaches, yogis, therapists and healers. Ryan McBurney and Shelby Von Oepen co-teach it. Learn more about our training.
Is breathwork safe? Who should avoid it?
Breathwork is generally safe for most people. Our surrender-based approach is gentle by design, so intense cathartic releases are far less common than in many styles, and we have guided hundreds of sessions. Co-instructor Shelby Von Oepen is also a Registered Nurse (RN, BSN), a different lane from facilitation but good to have on the team. Breathwork is not recommended for people with epilepsy, severe cardiovascular conditions, or in the second or third trimester of pregnancy. If you have concerns, ask your doctor first.
How much do breathwork classes cost?
Drop-in classes are $44 in the Phoenix metro area and $33 in Flagstaff, Prescott, Tucson and Lake Tahoe. Private events, retreats and corporate sessions are priced separately.
