About Us
MOVE BEYOND isn’t just Pilates. It’s a return to your body.
Most studios focus on sweat, stretch, or sculpt. We focus on something deeper: helping you feel safe in your body again. Because real transformation doesn’t come from pushing harder—it comes from moving with intention, presence, and precision.
​
At MOVE BEYOND, we combine clinical physiotherapy with mindful Pilates to help you move better, feel stronger, and live with more freedom in your everyday life.
Whether you're healing from pain, rebuilding after burnout, or simply ready to reconnect with your strength, this is movement designed for your whole system—body, mind, and nervous system.
​
Why We’re Different
Generic classes won’t heal what’s misaligned. Big rooms, vague cues, zero feedback—that’s how injuries happen and progress stalls.
​
At MOVE BEYOND, we do it right:
-
Private or micro-group classes (4 people max)
-
Every move adapted to your body, not a standard sequence
-
Hands-on corrections and crystal-clear instruction
​
Every cue has a purpose. Every session is adapted. Nothing is random or rushed.
​
New to Pilates?
Perfect. You don’t need to be flexible or experienced. You just need to be willing to learn. We meet you exactly where you are—and build from there.
​
No performance. No pressure. Just real movement that works.
​
This is more than a workout.
MOVE BEYOND is for people who want to:
✓ Get out of pain—for good
✓ Build strength, flexibility, and balance without strain
✓ Move with more ease, clarity, and confidence
✓ Release stress and regulate their nervous system
​
Because when your body feels safe, it begins to heal. When it moves well, everything shifts. And when you trust your body again, you stop holding back in life.
​
Our mission is simple:
To help you move with awareness.
To help you build trust in your body.
To help you live with strength, presence, and freedom.
The Heart Behind MOVE BEYOND
Mayra Kaneshiro isn’t just a physiotherapist or a Pilates educator. She’s a guide—for anyone ready to return to their body and live without the weight of pain, fear, or limitation.
​
With over 20 years of experience across hospitals, studios, and private practice, Mayra has worked with people of every age, background, and ability. But what sets her apart isn’t just expertise. It’s presence. Intuition. The way she sees beyond the injury and into the story.
Her work isn’t about fixing a body. It’s about helping people feel safe in it again.
​
Every session with Mayra is a space of recalibration. Of softening what’s held. Awakening what’s been dormant. Strengthening what’s true. Clients don’t just leave with better movement—they leave with restored trust, renewed confidence, and a deeper connection to themselves.
​
Through MOVE BEYOND, Mayra offers more than exercise. She offers return. To wholeness. To strength. To a body that feels like home.
Most people think losing mobility is a natural part of aging. Mayra knows better.
​
She’s worked with people in every chapter of life—from life support in ICU wards to fragile elders struggling to stay independent to office people who needs get rid of pain and stay sharp at work. And one truth remains: when movement is lost, life shrinks. Confidence fades. Possibility closes.
​
That realization shaped her life’s work.
​
After years in conventional rehab settings, Mayra saw the gaps that standard physiotherapy couldn’t fill. Healing wasn’t just physical—it was emotional, neurological, and deeply personal. That belief led her to create MOVE BEYOND: a space where strength isn’t measured by reps, but by how deeply you can reconnect with your body.
​
Founded in Stockholm in 2020, MOVE BEYOND is Mayra’s response to a system that treats symptoms, not stories. It’s where movement becomes medicine. Where pain is met with presence. And where people of all ages rediscover their power—without shame, pressure, or fear.
​
This isn’t just rehab or fitness. It’s a return to yourself.
