About our Founder

InspoWellness was founded by Brandy Byrd, who uncovered both the challenge and ease of Pilates exercises in 2004. Earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Clemson University and a Master of Science degree in Technical Communication from NC State University, she began her Pilates training with Power Pilates, where she received Beginner and Intermediate mat certifications. She is comprehensively trained by Balanced Body in Reformer 1,2, and 3; Tower, Cadillac, Chair, and Barrels. She also has training in Gaea Yoga School’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. Since starting her journey with Pilates, she has taught classes in Raleigh, NC; Southlake and Dallas, Texas and some of the most remote places, like Jujuy in Argentina.

While teaching and practicing Pilates, Brandy built a full career at a global technology company, where she led as a Program Director of Software Engineering. Leading in tech, while consistently focusing on health and whole-body wellness, led Brandy to use her background in business and wellness to create InspoWellness, a place where everyone can belong and be confident in their own body. 

Every client is honored in this studio through both movement and stillness, which are essential for optimal health and wholeness. Join InspoWellness to practice Pilates and discover what inspires you to be well.
