Breathwork Teacher Training & Certification- Lake Tahoe 2026
About this Event
Liquid Breathwork Teacher Training
What is the Liquid Breathwork Practitioner Training?
A 3-day immersive breathwork teacher training in South Lake Tahoe, California. Hands-on, intimate, and unlike any other breathwork certification you'll find. We cap enrollment at 10 people that way you get more one on one focus for learning.
What makes this different?
Most breathwork trainings teach one technique. We dive deep into Liquid Breathwork, but still educate you on other styles out there so you are full of knowledge. We also go over different breathing practices for different purposes for your client or yourself.
Our surrender-based methodology is not the intense, cathartic, screaming breathwork you may have seen online or tried yourself. It's fluid, intuitive, and gentle for your future clients AND for the people in your life who would never try "that kind of breathwork." Nothing is forced on you or the breather. We are here to cover safety as number one and how to handle people of all ages and of all nervous system states. We will dive deeper into your own practice as well.
It's nervous system friendly. It's trauma-informed. And it's led by a Registered Nurse which means safety is the foundation.

✦ The complete Liquid Breathwork surrender-based methodology
✦ How to safely facilitate 1:1 and group breathwork sessions
