bpb Breakfast: Kriya Later!

Check out our NEW website at www.bpbweekend.com!

Get your fill of pretzel twists at Cosmic Fusion, the newest yoga studio and wellness centre in Bandra, which offers everything from a kriya cleansing room and crystal healing expert to Buddhist chant Sundays and physiotherapist-induced muscle massages. Gimmicky? Maybe. But we like the whole-istic package.


Ommm-y God!

This week-old wellness studio was founded by Payal Gidwani along with husband Manish Tiwari, the duo who has all of Bollywood - from Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan to Rani Mukerjee - gaga over yoga. It’s nice however, that despite the starry connections and gimmicky set up, the yoga here is unadulterated. “We plan to stick to the more traditional practices that have better long term effects than the contemporary versions”, says Payal, who has been teaching yoga for eight years now.


Class Conscious

Predictably, the waiting area at Cosmic Fusion is adorned with Buddha busts and floating lotuses, but the clichés are calming and welcome. While the mirrored, wooden yoga studio is up and running practically every hour of the day, other features like muscle relief massage room are yet to begin functioning. Several therapies like the Japanese Theta Healing and Brick remedy will also make their city debut in the coming weeks.

We’re not sure about the exotic treatments, but with this celebrity trainer’s yoga asanas, looks like a Kareena-esque hot body is just around the bend!

Getting there: Cosmic Fusion, a/2 wing, 101, Lok Nirman Towers, Ambedkar Road, Khar (W), call 26488055/56 or visit www.cosmicfusion.in, Rs 3,500 a month for 12 classes.
