Bastian Wellness Club Celebrates International Women’s Day with a Free Yoga session by Shilpa Shetty at Juhu Beach

Start this Women’s Day with a promise of health, as Shilpa Shetty hosts a rejuvenating sunrise yoga session by the sea

Helmed by Ranjit Bindra, Bastian Hospitality’s Bastian Wellness Club celebrates the strength of womanhood this International Women’s Day. Fitness enthusiast and co-founder of Bastian Hospitality, Shilpa Shetty, will lead a complimentary yoga session at Juhu Beach. 

Open to all, the session invites attendees to bring their own mats and begin their morning with a calming practice by the sea. The yoga session will commence at 8:00 a.m. on 8th March, offering a mindful start to the day in a serene beachfront setting. 

Extending the event, an intimate gathering of 50 people for HNIs and influencers will be organised at Bastian Beach, followed by curated hospitality from Ammakai and Blondie, with matcha and coffee served complimentary. 

Talking about the initiatives undertaken by Bastian Wellness Club, Ranjit Bindra, Founder and CEO of Bastian Hospitality, said, “At Bastian Hospitality, we have always believed in creating experiences that go beyond just hospitality. International Women's Day felt like an opportunity to bring people together to celebrate wellness in a way that also reflects the brand's evolving nature. This session, led by Shilpa Shetty, truly aligns with the brand's vision of providing experiences that are an amalgamation of hospitality and mindful lifestyle experiences.” 

Bastian Hospitality has now entered into the wellness space, expanding its presence beyond food and dining to embrace a more holistic lifestyle offering. This evolution reflects the brand’s lifestyle-driven philosophy, seamlessly integrating fitness and well-being into its hospitality ecosystem.

City’s favourite Mangalorean Food Destination Bastian Ammakai Now Serves you Early Breakfast and a New Pre-Drinks Menu!

Bastian Ammakai, part of Ranjit Bindra’s Bastian Hospitality, has extended its operating rhythm with early breakfast hours and the introduction of a pre-drinks menu with Appa, further underscoring its all-day positioning. 

Mornings at Ammakai now begin earlier, with breakfast service running from 9 AM to 12 PM. The refreshed format draws from comforting South Indian flavours such as Masala Dosas, ghee podi Idlis and Stuffed Paniyaram, complemented by a few global breakfast favourites, including waffles and wholesome breakfast bowls. The shift reflects evolving dining patterns, as hospitality spaces increasingly cater to early social meetings, work catch-ups and morning-led gatherings. 

In the evening, the restaurant has introduced a Pre-Drinks Menu with Appa, creating a dedicated early-evening window before dinner and late-night plans. The menu features a 2+2 offer on select spirits, applicable to the first order of the same drink. Designed for guests who prefer starting their evenings out, this reflects the growing pre-drinking culture in urban cities, where socialising begins at restaurants rather than at home. 

Commenting on the development, Ranjit Bindra, Founder and CEO of Bastian Hospitality, said, “As a hospitality company, we’re constantly observing how urban social habits are changing. There is a growing demand for well-curated morning breakfast spreads and early-evening experiences. With Ammakai, we saw an opportunity to address both within the same space, while keeping the food and beverages rooted in character.” 

Notably, Ammakai marks Bastian Hospitality’s debut into Mangalorean cuisine. Conceptually rooted in the tastes and sensibilities of South Indian mothers, the restaurant positions itself around comfort-driven flavours and nostalgic memory-led cooking.
