THE TEAM
Karen Jackman
Pilates - Mat
Inspire was founded to create a space where movement transforms lives. After years of teaching in borrowed spaces, we renovated a barn in Chatillon sur Cluses - laying the floors by hand and restoring the beams ourselves.
Our mission: help you move well, feel well, and enjoy life to the fullest. Every class is friendly, inclusive, and designed with care. We believe everyone deserves to feel strong, flexible, and confident—at every age.
