About Hanu
Hanu is about community.
Hanu Wellness was created for those who seek more than movement — for those who crave balance in every dimension of life. For those who know the body is only one doorway, and true transformation happens when mind, heart, and community step through it together.
We are not here to follow trends. We are here to protect the integrity of ancient practices, blend them with modern wisdom, and offer an experience where your well-being is not a luxury — it’s your foundation.

Our history
From Green Monkey to Hanu Wellness.
Katrina “Kata” Bilanchone founded Hanu, pivoting from the challenges the pandemic created for Miami’s longtime yoga staple, Green Monkey Yoga. Soon after, she partnered with Desmond Bryant to guide Hanu forward. Together they saw what Miami’s booming wellness scene lacked: a true sanctuary — not fragmented, performative, or transactional, but a space of real integration embracing the full spectrum of transformation. Hanu Wellness was born.
