Tara Kelly

Tara fell in love with Pilates during her 15-year career as a professional dancer. She received her BFA in Dance Performance from Butler University in Indianapolis, after which she danced professionally in the Gregory Hancock Dance Theater and Carnival Cruise Lines. For 13 years, she traveled the world on many CCL ships as Dance Captain, managing and performing in multimillion-dollar-production shows.

Pilates made such a huge difference in her balance, performance ability, strength and endurance, extending the length of her dance career. After retiring in 2013, she decided to make it her new career choice. Tara completed her BASI Pilates comprehensive teacher training and has been teaching at Beyond Zen since 2014. Her main focus in her practice is proper muscle recruitment, form and mind-and-body connection and balance.

She is looking forward to sharing her knowledge and is honored to be a part of the Beyond Zen family.
