The KKRU Team
Our Teachers
Khetanya
Founder and CEO
Visionary movement expert and community builder leading KKRU with heart, purpose, and over a decade of wellness experience.
​
Born and raised in Atlanta, Khetanya’s passion for fitness began during her performing arts career. She discovered Pilates and became a fitness instructor in NYC. Her talent in the arts led her to LA, where she worked with A-list celebrities, reputable online fitness platforms, and premier LA studios — solidifying her impact on the wellness space.
​
Khetanya is driven by a deep commitment to creating holistic wellness experiences. Her adaptability, empathy, and deep-rooted expertise allow her to tailor each experience with intention. This calling led her back home to Atlanta, where she continues to build empowering online and in-person communities, sharing the movement practices she believes in with heart, purpose, and vision.
In 2023, she established KKRU, a comprehensive wellness brand, with the goal of expanding the boutique fitness industry in new ways. Khetanya’s ‘KRU’, stands for her motto, Keep Reaching Up, and promotes her goal of empowering personal growth for like-minded and forward-focused individuals.

Amy Robbins
Yoga Teacher
Born and raised in GA, Amy lives in East Atlanta Village and practices as a therapist in Kirkwood. She specializes in seeing clients with trauma, as well as couples. She has been practicing yoga for over 25 years and finally gave herself the gift of completing Yoga Teacher Training. She loves teaching a fun, edgy Hatha/Vinyasa class or settling into the stillness of Yin.
Chelsey Reese
Yoga Teacher
Chelsey is a trauma informed therapist and wellness practitioner blending therapeutic insight with yoga, sound healing, and breath work. She creates restorative experiences that help people drop into their bodies and uncover deeper connection inside themselves and within the world. She truly believes body-based practices allow us to tap into some of our greatest strengths.
Inga Harmon
Yoga Teacher
Inga first began practicing yoga in 2016 out of a need to slow the mind. The pace and ebbs and flows of entrepreneurship, life changes, looking for something that quenches the thirst of working out while centering the mind led Inga to the mat. She found her place with the combination of heat and movement and completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. Inga is a powerhouse of movement, mindset, and motivation. Merging sweat, self-realization, and strength to create an experience that goes beyond the mat. Known for her high-energy flows and grounded presence, Inga leads with purpose, helping students tap into their inner fire through intentional movement, deep breath work, and unapologetic self-awareness. Rooted in her mantra #KeepItMovin, Inga’s approach to yoga is about more than flexibility-it is about showing up for yourself, moving through resistance, and reclaiming your power in every pose.
Izzi Jaiyesimi
Yoga Teacher
Izzi was a student athlete growing up and developed the habit of movement early on. Her first yoga class felt native to her and once she started, she simply kept going. Her first teaching certification came in 2020. The day after her graduation, she hosted her very first class. Over the years she has come to teach and practice Vinyasa, Yin and Hatha yoga. Off the mat, she enjoys anything creative, time spent in nature, travel, good food, and the people she loves. Her personal practice is not only physical, but spiritual. She believes that yoga is a practice of deep breathing, discipline, and emotional regulation used to change the outside world from the inside.
Sue Osagie
Mat and Reformer Pilates Teacher
Sue began her Pilates journey in 2020 with a contemporary certification, later deepening her studies under Master Teacher Joel Crosby of Vitality Method Pilates. As a third-generation instructor in direct lineage from Joseph Pilates, Sue’s teaching honors the integrity and precision of the original method while maintaining an approachable and supportive style. Sue is currently pursuing her 700-hour comprehensive classical certification, and her continued education reflects a deep commitment to mastering the method and sharing its transformative power with others.
Outside the studio, Sue balances her passion for movement with a thriving corporate career as a Senior Accountant at a mid-sized data center company. Her analytical background informs her teaching; she approaches Pilates with the same attention to detail, structure, and discipline that defines her professional life.
