Kajal’s Bio
Even when Kajal was following the corporate path, she was in a field that, 20 years ago, was still uncommon in the South Asian community. She began her professional career as an Organizational Management Consultant with a Masters Degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology. During her time as a consultant, she co-founded Doonya, a dance company that transitioned into the first large-scale Bollywood dance and fitness company. Through her role at Doonya, Kajal has presented and appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Oz Show, LIVE with Kelly and Michael, The Today Show with Kathie Lee and Hoda, and Great Day Houston. Though Kajal is no longer running the Doonya business, she still leads weekly classes, creates choreography for, and trains other instructors in the program. She also continues her work in fitness, wellness, and dance by teaching mindful movement classes and workshops to kids and adults. Kajal's goal is to spread dance far and wide - for everyone to have the chance to feel the joy of movement and strong connection to the present.
Dr. Sumeet Bahl’s Bio
As a physician and 20+ year meditator, Dr. Sumeet Bahl operates on one guiding principle in his work and interactions: loving kindness.
Sumeet is an Interventional Radiologist in Brooklyn, NY, where he performs minimally invasive image-guided procedures for uterine fibroids, venous disease, kidney failure, pulmonary embolism, and cancer. Early in his career, little did he know the COVID-19 pandemic would fall on his doorstep and he would be performing life-saving procedures on patients with the disease in an epicenter hospital that gained international media attention.
Aside from his own daily kriya yoga meditation practice, Sumeet has performed clinical research on meditation with the Emory-Tibet partnership, under the leadership of the Dalai Lama. His greatest passion is sharing the science and practicality of daily meditation, having led guided sessions at Doonya, Yelp, New York City hospitals, and on social media. He combines his love of health and music as a physician representative for NYC Hip Hop is Green, promoting health and wellness in hip hop culture and beyond via a vegan/plant-based lifestyle. In an alternate universe, if he wasn't a physician, he would be a hip hop star. Sumeet resides in Brooklyn with his wife and 8-month-old son.
