Each element targets different parts of the body, creating a well-rounded and effective workout.

Founded in 2005 by Priya Pandya, a certified yoga instructor, and Kajal Desai, a certified fitness trainer, Doonya started out as a Bollywood dance troupe, and graduallly transformed into a fitness class as Pandya and Desai noticed that students were losing weight and toning up.
