Founder

Maison Élan is the heartfelt creation of Ingrid, whose vision was to build something truly beautiful — not only in the physical space, but in the people who bring it to life.

Every detail of Maison Élan has been thoughtfully considered, from the serene design to the energy that flows within it. Ingrid has personally handpicked each instructor for their warmth, expertise, and shared devotion to mindful movement. For her, this studio is more than a wellness space — it’s a collective of kind, inspiring souls who embody the essence of Maison Élan. Together, they create an environment where every class feels grounded and graceful.
