Live Beyond Limit

Fantastic experience: At Live Beyond Limit there is an abundance of kindness and acceptance that is nearly impossible to find elsewhere. This community is at the forfront for providing a welcoming space for local performers and artists. Unspeakably grateful for LBL!

Fantastic experience: Love this studio! Kate is an awesome instructor and classes are available in person and online. Class sizes are small so you get personalized instruction. The community and atmosphere is so welcoming!

Fantastic experience: Love the classes and teachers and overall the community

Fantastic experience: Whether you’re looking for a local yoga studio, looking to get fit, or want to know what it feels like to fly, this is your place!! The instructors are friendly, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable particularly when it comes to safety, body adjustments, and injury prevention. They’re also adept at responding to the different needs and experience levels of students. They offer a wide range of classes, so it’s easy to find a time that fits your schedule. Kate, the owner, is amazing, and has cultivated an inclusive culture and thriving community. Trying a new place or class can be intimidating, but the welcoming atmosphere will quickly put any newcomers at ease. If you have even an inkling of curiosity about aerial arts, aerial yoga, or just deepening your practice, I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Fantastic experience: LBL is an amazing place. The classes are the most fun you'll ever have getting fit and the community is so wonderful.

Fantastic experience: Live Beyond Limit is my circus home! It's a wonderful community of wellness and movement students and professionals, truly the best game in town for adult aerial classes in Fort Collins, with regular performance opportunities as well as classes tailored to beginners!

Fantastic experience: Live Beyond Limit has the best classes, teachers and community! I feel very accepted and appreciated here!

Fantastic experience: Kate, the studio owner, is one of the kindest & sweetest human beings you will ever meet. Not only is she an amazing instructor but an amazing friend & mentor as well. The studio space is always so clean & organized. The classes are accessible, available at many hours & smaller too so it feels more personalized. My aerial strengths & skills have truly doubled since starting at the studio in April. I tell everyone about this place!

Fantastic experience: Live beyond limit is a great and welcoming community with teachers who really understand the mechanics of the body. Kate the owner of LBL is a fantastic resource for chronic pain and nutrition advice. She has helped reduce my chronic back pain with a private lesson where she taught me some rehab exercises.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE being a part of the Live Beyond Limit community! I have tried several of their offerings, all of which are amazing, but my favorites are energy work and aerial yoga with Kate and Buti yoga with Kali. Kate has helped me heal the difficult relationship I had with my body. She is always kind and empowering. She is so knowledgable about healing the body, mind, and spirit in an integrative way. And Kali’s Buti classes are so much fun! I always leave feeling happier and more playful. My favorite part about LBL is that they’re inclusive and adaptive to individual needs and preferences! As a plus size girl I’m always so nervous about entering into new health and wellness spaces but I truly feel at home at LBL. I’ve never once felt excluded or othered because of my size. Kate and LBL have been such an integral part of my wellness journey and I am grateful for the support. I’d give them a million stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: Beware - you will never want to leave! This welcoming community and supportive space will draw you right in. Kate’s aerial yoga was challenging yet restful. She made space for me to do the work I needed to. Her teaching is masterful. I dropped in while on vacation. I felt so peaceful. 10/10.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here over a year now. This is a two part review covering different services offered here, first being Kate’s integrative energetics bodywork sessions, and the second being the aerial and other classes. Both deserve more than five stars! So while I can only give 5 in the review, I’ll give in spirit a solid 12. Kate takes a multidisciplinary approach to healing in her bodywork sessions, including craniosacral, reiki, breathwork, and other skills. When I started these sessions I was chronically tight in my upper traps, had rounded shoulders, an anterior pelvic tilt, and other compensations in my daily movement patterns. To put it plainly, her work in session and advice for outside of session did more for me in just a few months more than a year of physical therapy ever did. Not only do I feel far more aligned and right in my body than ever before, an unexpected and phenomenally marvelous thing happened; my tinnitus got quieter, much much quieter. I do not have words to describe just how positively that has affected my life. The results to my body alone was well worth the money, and my tinnitus significantly improving was a giant bonus! I will always remember what Kate had done for me here! While I mainly focus on aerial Lyra, I took many of the classes with a variety of the instructors, and they are all top notch. They are kind, attentive and offer alternative motions when you can’t quite do a thing. I’ve had a blast in the classes, as the energy and culture of the people there is so fun and accepting! I couldn’t ask for a better place to learn circus arts and yoga from. This place is aptly named Live Beyond Limit, for I now live a life now that’s far past the limits I had before I started coming here!

Fantastic experience: Live Beyond Limit has beautiful energy, and Kate is patient, attentive, incredibly talented, and knowledgeable about all things yoga and mind, body, and spirit balance. You will not be disappointed by the experiences in any classes, and you will join a wonderful community of people while getting in some playtime and having a lot of fun! Most aerial yoga classes are great for any level and a good way to relax after a long day!

Fantastic experience: I've struggled with neck and shoulder issues for a long time, which kept me away from aerial activities for several years. After meeting with Kate, I decided to try out the two-week ground and aerial yoga pass. With Kate's expert guidance, I have not only surpassed my physical limitations from the past several years but have also experienced a remarkable 50% reduction in my neck and shoulder pain. My flexibility, strength, and confidence have all significantly improved, leading me to purchase an annual pass and attend classes multiple times a week. The rest of the instructors are excellent too and I highly recommend this studio.

Fantastic experience: I moved to Fort Collins in August 2017 and sought Live Beyond Limit out for a local aerial program. I immediately felt at home with a warm group of staff and students. The main studio has a homey yet creative feel that always allows me to get in touch with my creative process in the air and on the floor. From the start I was impressed with their variety of classes ranging from aerial technique, different yoga practices, conditioning, flexibility and dance/choreo flows (and more)!

Fantastic experience: Live Beyond Limit is a gorgeous studio filled with the most incredible community. I could not recommend this studio enough if you’re interested in learning aerial or yoga the Fort Collins area!

Fantastic experience: Went to Live Beyond Limit to do aerial yoga with my teammates. Kate was amazing and was very accommodating to us as complete beginners. It was a brand new and wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I wish I could put into words what an incredible place this is. Aerial Arts was always something I admired and never thought I could do. I finally put my fears and excuses behind me when I decided to find an activity to build core strength and tone my body. The studio greeted me with open arms. Each of the teachers are encouraging and supportive. The other participants are an amazing support system as well; reminding me that they all started where I am at. In addition, my oldest daughter has decided to follow in my footsteps and try Aerial. She is incredible at it and inspires me every time I watch her. This commitment has built a confidence and a mental health release in her that I never expected and am so grateful for. I encourage any of you looking to try this. The reward has been beyond amazing and the studio has lived up to its name; reminding me that I too can live beyond limit!!!

Fantastic experience: Everyone here is so friendly and accepting. It has become one of my safe spaces and I am so grateful I found them. I highly recommend giving their classes a try even if it is something totally new to you!

Fantastic experience: My daughter took three silks class and two aerial hoop classes before I enrolled her in the five-day circus camp. At the end of the five days she gave a four-minute choreographed silks performance that left me with tears streaming down my face in front of all the parents gathered to watch their children. The peaceful and patient instructors encourage exploration and creativity while guiding skill development and confidence. 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic experience: Live Beyond Limit is not just an aerial studio. I it is a community. I joined about a year ago taking lyra lessons, and I had no idea I would become so involved! I was immediately welcomed and supported. I have never been flexible or good at gymnastics-type moves that I thought were required for aerial acrobatics, but the intro lyra instructor, Nicole, was so helpful and accommodating. Then the studio owner, Kate, recoginzed my dedication and asked me to be a part of their ambient art night performance. Being considered for their performance boosted by confidence substantially, and I felt very supported! One night, I chatted with Kate and mentioned that I wanted to teach hoop dance classes. I wasn't even thinking about teaching at the studio, but she told me that she wanted to create a community and would be open to letting me teach there too! Now I am an instructor, and I couldn't be happier to share my skills with the community. The owner makes sure that classes are affordable for everyone. Many classes and packages include a sliding scale so that people can pay what they can afford. There are also donation classes in which people can pay whatever they are comfortable paying. As a low-income graduate student, I very much appreciate this consideration! Aside from lessons and performances, the studio often has workshops, game nights, parties, and other social events. Community members frequently seek advice from each other and exchange items no longer needed with each other. I'm very glad to have joined this community. If you want to get involved and don't know how, talk to any instructor or member. Or just walk through the door! You will likely be greated by the wonderful desk staff or the owner herself, maybe her dog too!

Fantastic experience: I joined this community shortly after moving to Fort Collins and am so glad I did! I had never done aerial or aerial yoga in my life, and all of the LBL instructors are so patient and supportive as I learn and grow my skills. The community here in general is just so kind and welcoming! The "regular," on-the-ground yoga classes also have such a great balance on both physical and mental form, and I've been able to learn so much. Highly recommend checking out any class here - I've loved them all!

Fantastic experience: It’s been hard for me to find a studio in Fort Collins that isn’t hyper fitness focused or heated classes. I FINALLY feel like I found a studio that actually has traditional mind, body, spirit connection. Kate is just sunshine in human form talk about a genuine and kind human.

Fantastic experience: This class was wonderful. I have wanted to try this for years, and I am so glad I did. Everyone should try it! The classmates and instructor are friendly and sweet, and very encouraging. I am so glad I tried it!

Fantastic experience: I’d never tried aerial yoga before. I did my third class today, and I’m feeling pretty hooked. The instructors at Live Beyond Limit are so helpful for newbies, without seeming to slow down the more experienced folks, and Kate especially is awesome at recognizing that when I’m not doing a thing, it’s probably because going upside down is scary but a spotter is all I really need - her reassurance let me try everything even the first class, which was really invigorating and fun. I’m loving that the silks let me get into inversions, something I’ve never managed on the floor. I’ve gone to a few non-aerial classes here too, and they’ve been really nice too - the vibe I look for in relaxing yoga classes.

Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful place filled with great people sharing what they love! Instructors are always available to assist with amazing knowledge and safety first!! Time to try something fun, new and different! If you get a chance to practice with Sean Kirkpatrick, prepare for a life changing experience!

Fantastic experience: Kate has the most beautiful soul.. I walk away from every class energized and relaxed at the same time. Love love love this place . Going on my 4th year year of upside down yoga.

Fantastic experience: Kate is an amazing teacher! Her hatha classes are the best way to start the day and her aerial yoga classes are so relaxing. I am so happy they are offering online classes during this time, I highly recommend scheduling a zoom class if you are looking help support an amazing and special small business. Thank you, Kate, your classes always bring me so much joy and needed grounding.

Fantastic experience: Live Beyond Limit has a special place in my heart. I met Kate when I lived in Fort Collins a few years ago. After moving West, I was able to reunite with Kate in Costa Rica for one of her yoga retreats. A week of pure healing and bliss! Not only is Kate one of the most caring, thoughtful and intuitive healers and instructors, she attracts like minded spirits at her studio that share their own unique talents and gifts. Live Beyond Limit’s Virtual classes have been such a treat for me to reconnect. Although the ambiance of the studio and the guidance isn’t in person, you’ll still receive the session you need as if you’re physically there if you can’t be. I highly recommend this studio whether attending on site sessions or virtually as they support you to live beyond your limit.

Fantastic experience: Kate, the owner, is one of the best yoga teachers I've experienced in 20 years of yoga practice! The studio offers so many different, cool options for practice that there is something for everyone!

Fantastic experience: I love training here! The instructors are awesome ❤️

Fantastic experience: The owner and staff here have amazing welcoming and warm energy! I've made friends with the fellow students, who along with staff inspire me. Overall a well rounded group of compassionate people. The instructors have a magical nitch for meeting students where they're at while also pushing to continue to grow. An absolute gem of a place. Everytime I go to a class it feels like a breath of fresh air. I've been a member at live beyond limit for almost a year and I just cannot suggest it enough!

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere and instructors here are terrific. From injury through recovery Kate listens to me and challenges me to reach new levels of health and fitness. Thanks LBL!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to explore the yogic system in it's many facets. The owner has a compassionate and highly informative teaching style, as well as a great instinct for teaches. I see Jean Parker-Renga fairly regularly for energy healing sessions and she has helped me more than I can state here. I have also taken class with her and have always been very pleased with the experience. If you are familiar with the terms "light worker" or "indigo" this place will definitely have a lot to offer you and likely be a boon of grace. It certainly has been for me.

Fantastic experience: I took my first class this week with Jessica . It was an aerial skills class. It was so much fun, the environment is so welcoming, I felt so comfortable during class and Jessica’s energy is very captivating! I’m so glad aerial has found its way to Fort Collins !

Fantastic experience: Live Beyond Limit is a studio unlike any other in Fort Collins. Beyond the yoga and aerial class offerings there are other modalities available to help care for you in a more holistic way. As a teacher I find the studio and community a nurturing place where I have clarified my voice and become a more thoughtful and creative instructor. As a client I have been supported and loved though two pregnancies and the recovery after. The classes have helped me reconnect to my body and gain strength back. Energy work with Kate allowed me to find peace though the changes and uncertainty. I am forever grateful for the family I have found at Live Beyond Limit.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Kate for over 6 years now. She is an amazing professional, mentor and friend. The entire studio staff are knowledgeable and dedicated to personal growth and wellness. I am the emotionally and spiritually healthy person I am today due to Kate's guidance and support .

Fantastic experience: I moved to Fort Collins after an initial year of aerial yoga classes in Portland, and found this studio to continue with my new love of aerial arts. I was immediately embraced, supported and encouraged. I have learned a lot and grown in this studio, and have dabbled not only in aerial yoga and other yoga classes, but in aerial silks and circus arts as well. I have formed friendships with staff and students here, and have even trained as a teacher recently and have begun teaching classes. This yoga and circus family is a key component to my feelings of belonging in Fort Collins and feeling empowered to become the best version of myself and challenge myself to overcome what I previously saw as limitations. The name is true! At Live Beyond Limit, there is no limit to where one can go and what one can become-- body, mind and spirit.

Fantastic experience: This place is Awesome!! I’ve been doing Reiki with Kate for almost 2 years now and it’s been great. Honestly I was a little skeptical about Reiki - but I’m really glad I decided to go for it. Kate is a great teacher/guide. She has helped me work through some really difficult personal issues. I’m in a much different (BETTER) scape now and I could go on and on about how awesome it is!!!! Anyone else out there who’s curious about Reiki like I was I highly, highly recommend going to see Kate. It’s a game changer for sure!! I’ve also done some of the journey work - which I was skeptical about as well - and those were some really great experiences. Not just the journey work but connecting with people who are on their own journeys is a really powerful thing! All of the people I’ve met at LBL have been awesome and I’m really grateful to this place. I’m running out of adjectives - go check it out for yourself!! You won’t regret it!! Thanks Live Beyond Limit!!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! I get personalized instruction that is tailored to my level, and every instructor brings a new perspective to the craft. I feel like I have grown so much in just a few months, and made good friends along the way. So glad I gave this a try!

Fantastic experience: Took one aerial class 3 years ago, and I was hooked! Kate's knowledge of the body is astounding, and the instructors are masters of their craft. The studio is fun and welcoming, and it feels like a family.

Fantastic experience: Live Beyond Limit has diverse offerings from yoga, aerial yoga, therapeutics and energetics, all the way to the unique offering to the Fort Collins area of giving one the ability to explore circus arts at any age. They emphasize form and technique for longevity of movement and cross training. They meet clients where they are at and what you are prepared to explore in one’s health, movement and spirituality. I have felt embraced with community from my first time here in 2015 and have met some of my closest friends under their roof. In that time I have advanced in my fitness, flexibility and life drive. Thank you for feeling like a home and family in some of the most challenging times of my life!

Fantastic experience: Live beyond limit is not just the name but their way of life here!! The staff is incredible and tilt wish to help each individual reach their potential physically, mentally and spiritually. If you are ready to push your limits and beyond this IS the place for you... oh and be ready for hugs

Fantastic experience: After my second lower back surgery two years ago, I met Kate, we talked in depth about what they did with my back, and how a specialized yoga therapy could help with my back by increasing my core strength. We started slowly and carefully based on my issues. Two years later, I'm doing aerial yoga, inverting in silks and feeling much stronger and confident about my back. All the ppl here are great. I've taken privates from Kate and others. They talk so each one knows my situation before training. I've referred many to come here, my wife for one. She has been going almost two years as well. I'm so greatful to have met this amazing group of people!

Fantastic experience: I have been frequenting this studio for almost two years now. As a 20+ years yoga practitioner and professional dance artist, I feel LBL's classes are quite diverse and empowering. My passion for movement is supported and developed here, with integrity. I am challenged to grow physically and spiritually. I have found friends and family here. Love this place

Fantastic experience: After hearing about the aerial and acro yoga classes from an instructor at another studio, I decided to try the 2 week trial for $30. Being who I am, I was determined to try as many classes as possible with my free trail. From the moment I walked in the door the staff were warm, happy and welcoming. The classes are diverse and each practitioner brings a unique set of gifts and talents to their specific classes. I quickly became friends with several instructors in a very short time. The many like minded, open and caring people are just what I have been searching for for a long time. This studio is now a key part of my life and home for me. Since I have joined the community I have participated in the Bali yoga retreat, a journey breathwork workshop, and mountains of Arco, aerial, and infrared therapeutic yoga classes. All amazing. All to be repeated. I have also recently begun the Journeywork/Reiki energetic practitioner mentoring program to begin to learn how to take much of what I am learning and experiencing into the community as a practitioner myself. This place is wonderful and incredible. I love the community of people that have become part of my family. Thank you LBL! Love you all.

Negative experience: I have had a TERRIBLE experience with Live Beyond Limit. I was interested in purchasing an aerial pass for my little sister to attend classes there, and had some questions. I called the number for the aerial instructor and left a voicemail. After three days with no return call, I called again. Nothing. TWO voicemails and no call back! Then I tried the main line for Live Beyond Limit, hoping they could answer my aerial-specific questions. The message says "We'll get back to you within 24 hrs." That is a joke. Their voicemail was proclaimed full BOTH times I called, so I was unable to even leave a message. This business is ill-run and has zero customer service. Be warned!

Fantastic experience: We had a big trip to Colorado and Wyoming planned. The trip was to include hiking and sight-seeing. We flew into Denver and spent Wednesday and Thursday in the Boulder area. We hiked for a few hours on Thursday. By the time we got to Fort Collins, my already injured right foot was throbbing. I knew about Live Beyond Limit and was planning on checking it out but now I really needed help. My husband and I wanted to see the studio and massage therapy rooms. The place is lovely and serene. We were unable to go into the studio itself because a class was going on but, the whole space creates a peaceful feeling conducive to personal growth. We had hoped to participate in Kate's Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga class later that day. Instruction and equipment rental for only $35 for an hour and a half class. But, my foot was complaining so Kate helped me evalutate my current treatment plan. We decided to forego the class this time around. She spent time evaluating my walk and how I was doing my previously prescribed physical therapy exercises. After observing and evaluating, she showed me little adjustments to make my current regime more effective. She also showed me new stretches and breathing techniques to help me. Kate's philosophy is holistic and healing. She is also extremely knowledgeable. I am an RN, so I appreciate her command of anatomy and physiology. She also practices what she promotes as evidenced by the ease at which she performs the yoga positions she teaches. I wish I lived near Fort Collins! I would attend classes here every week.

Fantastic experience: I came to Live Beyond Limit after spending almost two years cycling through various western medicine treatments and therapy's, for injuries I sustained in a car accident. After two months at LBL I am staring to feel huge improvements! Kate has really helped me settle back in to my skin and reconnect my mind with my body. Some of my injuries are lifelong ordeals, in my sessions with Kate I am receiving the tools I need to continue to get better and to maintain a healthy life. I think the toolbox you build with LBL is what really sets them apart from other practices, I now know that I am capable of mending myself, and that is huge.

Fantastic experience: Tried out their Intro to Silks & Lyra class and fell in love! Can't wait to see how the rest of their classes are :-)

Fantastic experience: I often get a sore neck after sleeping wrong the night before. Josh helped me locate the specific muscles that were bothering me, and I've been able to fix the problem myself ever since.
