Biography

Irène Popard was born on 30 September 1894 in Paris. She completed her studies at the University of Boston.[1] On her return to Paris, she started studying pure gymnastics, and became a teacher of physical education.[2]

She was a student of Georges Demenÿ, who was “a pioneer of a more natural form of gymnastics.”[2] According to Sharma, she took Demenÿ's “basic exercises and designed an outstanding educational and corrective programme for women.”[3] In 1916 she started 'school of Popard gymnastics' through which she introduced ‘harmonic gymnastics'.[4][5]

She died on 30 April 1950 in Marcigny.
