A bit about Beth Domino

Beth has moved to New Zealand from the United States of America with her two daughters, proud Aotearoa residents. A former ballet dancer, she attended the North Carolina School of the Arts, The Harid Conservatory and The School of American Ballet where she performed with the American Ballet Theatre.
Beth became a Pilates student while dancing in New York City in 1993 to assist her recovery from a foot injury. She continued to include Pilates as part of her fitness routine while working as a professional ballerina in Centra Pro Danza in Cuba, The Milwaukee Ballet Company and Dance Alive in Florida.

In 2000, Beth decided to turn her passion for Pilates into a career. She completed her Pilates Inc. Authentic Pilates Teacher Certification with Master Teacher Romana Kryzanowska and since then she has taught Pilates at her studio in Florida, until moving to New Zealand. For over 20 years she has taught a wide variety of clients of all ages and levels. Beth is passionate about passing on the Joseph Pilates Method of Contrology and is focused on helping people reach their full potential, whatever that goal may be.

Beth is recognised as an extraordinary and talented teacher by many professional athletes, Ballet, Irish and Ballroom dancers, Olympic Athletes, including Ladies Pro Golf Association (LPGA) and International Equestrians.

Currently her love for helping others and being apart of an amazing community has landed Beth in The Bay of Plenty where she teaches group lessons, privates, duets on all apparatus and helps others in the pilates journey of becoming a certified pilates instructor.
