Khetanya’s passion for fitness began during her performing arts career. She discovered Pilates and began teaching in NYC and LA — working with A-list celebrities, reputable online fitness platforms, and premier studios. Eventually, her passion brought her home to Atlanta, where she continued to evolve the wellness space in holistic and purpose-driven ways. In 2023, she established KKRU, a comprehensive Pilates & Wellness brand that highlights the classical work and intentional practice, as originally defined by Joseph Pilates. Khetanya’s ‘KRU’, stands for her motto, Keep Reaching Up, and promotes her goal of empowering strength, from the inside out. Khetanya is driven by a deep commitment to creating a unique wellness space. Her adaptability, empathy, and deep-rooted expertise allow her to tailor each experience with intention. Her mission is to empower the mind and body toward a better lifestyle through movement, practice, and self-love.
