The Pilates Journal Expo with Lise Kuecker and Khetanya Henderson

As studios invest heavily in creating beautiful sanctuaries and upscale environments, what ultimately matters to flourish is clear purpose, real community and smart leadership. 

Get a candid look at how that plays out with Khetanya Henderson, founder of KKRU, in Episode 708: The Pilates Journal Expo with Lise Kuecker and Khetanya Henderson.*

  • Make a difference: build where you’re needed most and can give back 
  • Get creative with capital: tell everyone, leverage community and pop-ups 
  • Design for experience: prioritize how clients feel over aesthetics every time
  • Nurture relationships: support vulnerability, check in often, personalize outreach
  • Win with mindset: keep reaching up, embody strength + joy, grow thoughtfully

With creativity, energy and thinking outside the box, anything is possible. Dig deep, reframe obstacles as opportunities and look at the big picture. Inspiration awaits in Episode 708. Follow Khetanya on Instagram at @khetanya.
