Kalika Ahuja - Yoga and Philosophy

Kali started her yoga journey five years ago here in Fort Collins. Yoga offered a sense of calm, centering, and acceptance that she was searching for. Through her exploration of different styles she found her way to vinyasa. She had been taken away by the fluidity of vinyasa and sustained by the more subtle practices of pranayama, meditation, and mantra. The experience of being lost in her own moving meditation and a desire to deepen her practices pushed her to pursue teacher training, she received her certification in spring 2012. Kali teaches a creative, highly energetic vinyasa class which philosophy, focused alignment, and various meditation practices are threaded through. She is grateful to all the yoga teachers and students who continue to challenge and inspire her. Yoga has enriched her life in ways she never imagined and hopes to share her experiences with her students encouraging them to dive deeper into their own practice and create the space for change.

Daniel Parsons - Aerial Yoga

Daniel's yoga journey began in 2017 at a lovely yoga studio in Anchorage, Alaska - Deha Yoga. He fell in love with the physical challenges and mental benefits offered in yoga classes. In particular, he appreciates how humbling it is to go through a slow yoga flow, compared to lifting heavy at the gym! His favorite yoga classes are challenging but slower paced.

He joined Live Beyond Limit as a student in October 2021 and promptly found a love for aerial yoga - especially spending time upside down, and being able to access balancing poses that have not been accessible on the ground.

He is very active in yoga, aerial yoga, aerial silks, and lifting. He shares his home with 2 cats, Floppie and MrKitty. He is also a violinist, a birder, and loves to cook fancy, delicious meals.

Daniel's just starting to teach, and is looking forward to sharing his love of aerial yoga with others. He hopes to introduce more people to aerial yoga, especially those who are unsure they can do it. He is passionate about ensuring that all classes have ample modifications and are accessible to everyone!

Now you can fly with her in beginner to advanced-beginner sling and silks classes for kids and adults as she continues to work on healthy body mobility while having fun.

No matter your age, shape, or fitness level, Jen is here to help you move your body in classes that are dynamic, energetic and fun. Whether you’re already pumped to start, or want to take a class but feel intimidated, Jen is excited to help you begin your journey and to remind you that life doesn’t have to be a chore, and exercise doesn’t have to be dull!

When Jen isn’t in the air, she can be found writing for her online environmental news publication, reading, paddle- or snowboarding, playing with her family, drinking margaritas with her friends, or enjoying everything else that Colorado has to offer.
