Whatever Nicole did, sending Reiki vibes my way worked! I went from having the fertility office suggest cancelling an upcoming IVF appointment to having six follicles that are ready for retrieval.

This was my first reiki session and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Nicole guided me through the experience and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed to give and receive energy. Nicole is very gifted at her craft and genuinely cares about her clients throughout each session, before and after. I can't wait for my next session!

Nicole doesn’t just know the poses – she understands the human body. My hips were destroyed from sports, and surgery left me with flexibility issues. Nicole found counter-intuitive movements that worked magic, released the muscles, and made my hips looser than they’ve been in years! Even my
physical therapist couldn’t deliver the relief she did!
Beyond Studio: Therapeutic Somatic Yoga & Embodied Practices
Restore your body, calm your mind, and connect with community - one breath at a time​
​
Beyond Studio is more than a space to move, it’s a space to belong.
​
Our weekly therapeutic group classes are intentionally small, limited to eight participants, allowing space for safety, connection, and self awareness to naturally unfold. Each class is rooted in trauma informed principles and somatic awareness, offering an embodied approach to healing rather than a one size fits all workout.
​
Weekly offerings include Vinyasa Flow, Yoga Sculpt, Yin Yoga, Reiki and Restore, Beyond Release, and Mindfulness Meditation and Breathwork. Classes such as Reiki and Restore blend restorative yoga postures with Reiki energy work, while Beyond Release integrates myofascial release techniques with yin yoga to support deep tension release and nervous system regulation.
Complementary practices such as meditation, breathwork, and somatic techniques are woven throughout classes to support regulation, embodiment, and inner balance. These offerings are designed to meet you where you are and support both physical and emotional well being.
​
Beyond Brain and Body is first and foremost a wellness and retreat center. While therapeutic group classes are offered weekly, they are not the sole focus of the space. The heart of the work lies in one on one sessions, small group work, retreats, workshops, trainings, and programs designed to support deeper healing and integration. Group classes exist as an accessible entry point and a supportive complement to this broader work.
​
This is not a traditional studio model. It is a space created for intentional practice, meaningful connection, and whole person healing.
​
"With over a decade of teaching experience and more than 15 years of personal practice, I consider myself a lifelong student. My teachings draw from a wide spectrum of wellness disciplines, rooted in the belief that your body is your greatest teacher, listen to its wisdom. My goal is to share what I’ve learned as my truth, while empowering you to uncover and honor your own." - Nicole Starr
