Mendocino Pilates is conveniently located in the heart of Mendocino, California. We opened in 2014 and quickly became a staple in the community. In 2018 the business was purchased by instructor and Mendocino local Simone Smith.

Simone Smith, owner and instructor

Simone was born and raised here in Mendocino, California. She grew up an athlete, playing volleyball and basketball from fifth grade until the end of high school in 2009. After high school, she moved to San Luis Obispo briefly before packing up and moving to Hawaii. In 2011 She settled on Maui and spent her time there enjoying everything the island had to offer. In 2015 she decided to move back to Mendocino to be closer to her family. Here she tried for the first time and fell in love with Pilates. She was a client of Mendocino Pilates until the previous owner asked her if she’d like to try her hand at teaching it. She is trained in the Stott Pilates method and focuses on proper posture and alignment, while still giving a well-rounded, tough workout. She loves what she does and truly enjoys teaching others all the benefits of Pilates.
