~ Harveen Gill (she/they) is a Punjabi-American, interdisciplinary dance artist and storyteller exploring south asian ancestral memory, liminality, identity, and translation in the body. Her work explores reclamation of the erotic brown body and connection to south asian spices, veils, and language(s) in choreographic inquiries. 

With communal care and liberation at the forefront, her work practices touch, transformation, and storytelling. Through memory, migration, and metamorphosis she investigates ancestral activations and archivals. While integrating holistic practices that encourage slowing down and maintaining our nervous system, her mission is to create spaces that hold nourishment, vitality, balance, and community. 

As a daughter of Punjabi ancestors, her mixed eastern-western heritage and dance training is a guiding compass to creating works and third spaces that tell shared stories of people experiencing liminal lived identities. 

~ Divya Malviya (she/they) Divya is a dancer, artist, and a lifelong student of movement. Rooted in a childhood shaped by yoga and raised within the rhythms of Indian culture, her creative practice lives at the intersection of body, breath, and imagination.

As an immigrant of Indian origin, her work is a playful yet intentional exploration of identity, belonging, and self-expression. She moves fluidly between mediums and styles, using art as both a laboratory and a homecoming, a space to experiment freely while reconnecting with her roots and her inner child.

Divya is deeply community-driven and finds inspiration in shared spaces, collective joy, and the quiet magic of human connection.

At its core, her art is an offering: a celebration of curiosity, color, and the courage to be fully, unapologetically oneself.

~ Vinita Mundluru (she/they) is a multi-disciplinary artist, educator, and movement facilitator with over 25 years of experience in dance and 8 years of teaching yoga. She was a member of the contemporary dance collective Indique for two years, where she deepened her exploration of movement as storytelling and collaborative performance. 

In 2024, she founded Kutuhala Yoga Shala & School, a space devoted to integrating traditional yogic teachings with modern expression. Her work bridges discipline and creativity, inviting others into movement as a pathway to awareness, connection, and transformation.

~ Sunaina Madhav Dasi  (they/them/she) is a multidimensional practitioner walking the sacred paths of yoga, devotion, and collective liberation. Born in Bangalore, India and currently based on the unceded lands of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute Nations (colonially known as Denver, CO), Sunaina’s work is deeply rooted in their lived experience as a neurodivergent, queer South Asian of mixed Indo-Aryan and Dravidian ancestry, with Tamil as their mother tongue.

Initiated into the Hari Bhakta Sampradaya by Sri Paramahamsa Vishwananda, Sunaina’s spiritual foundation is grounded in Hinduism, Bhakti Yoga, and a commitment to social justice. They have mentored over 1,000 yoga students—primarily BIPOC—on their journeys toward 200- and 300-hour teacher certification with cultural reverence and integrity.

Sunaina specializes in somatic dance coaching, ancestral healing, and decolonizing yoga spaces through a trauma-informed, heart-centered lens. They believe that liberation begins with self-awareness—and that the body holds the ancestral wisdom we need to return home to ourselves.

Through 9A Yoga, rooted in Tamil ancestral knowledge and modern mindfulness, Sunaina is creating new models for reclaiming traditional practices, restoring cultural memory, and dismantling energetic and systemic oppression.

Beyond their healing work, Sunaina thrives as a creative in modeling, photography, dance, and artistic direction. 

~ Vidya Shaker (they/she) is a multidisciplinary artist whose dynamic movement practice encompasses a wide range of dance genres. A classically trained Bharatanatyam dancer with over two decades of experience, Vidya has spent the last ten years deeply immersed in the study and practice of street dance, learning directly from pioneers and cultural trailblazers. Since 2021, she has been training at the renowned Rennie Harris University, sharpening her foundation in various street styles. She earned her BFA in Dance Performance from Arizona State University in 2019 and is currently completing her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification to further expand her embodiment practice.

Vidya has been a member of the Kiki House of Felicity since 2022, competing across the U.S. in the Vogue Performance category at balls and ballroom events. She's currently affiliated with the Charlie's Denver Dance Crew and Rennie Harris University. Vidya continues to build her multifaceted portfolio as she performs, choreographs, and educates nationwide in the realm of performing arts.
