Patti Mehl

PATTI MEHL, owner of MINDFUL CORE PILATES, is a Third Generation Pilates instructor with over seven years of experience. She is a Balanced Body University certified Mat Instructor, and BBU comprehensively trained in Reformer, Chair, Cadillac/Trapeze, Barrels and Small Apparatus. In addition, she recently completed a year of intensive training through the Personalized Pilates Apprentice Program under Legacy Teacher Trainer, Katrina Foe in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Pilates was recommended to Patti by a Physical Therapist as she rehabilitated from several surgeries including a spinal fusion in 2006. Patti suffered from debilitating chronic back pain for years initiated by a serious car accident in her late teens and antagonized by several disc injuries, arthritis and frozen shoulder.

Her love of Pilates grew as she recovered through the wonderful exercises designed by Joseph Pilates which emphasizes the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility, and awareness in order to support efficient, graceful and pain-free movement. Eager to share her experience of wellness and with a desire to help others she left her career in Operations Management and Marketing to become a full-time Pilates instructor.

Her passion is helping others find the amazing mind and body connection that Pilates provides. Her approach is to connect the mind to the body and breath creating a synergistic “Mindful Core” to correct and maintain balance within the body, mind and spirit. Patti remains active in continuing education courses and is a current member of the Pilates Method Alliance.

Along with Pilates, Patti is a Young Living Independent Distributor and incorporates a commitment of uniting ancient traditions and modern science to promote health and longevity through essential oils and natural supplements into her wellness practice. Through extensive research and commitment to quality, Young Living is dedicated to growing, distilling, manufacturing, and marketing the highest- quality organic essential oils and oil-enhanced products in the world. Patti is a mom of four children and enjoys the benefits of clean living for herself and her family. She loves the outdoors, hiking, swimming, reading and visiting her hometown of Newport Beach, California whenever possible.
