September , Pune: India's foremost Pilates expert and celebrity fitness instructor, Yasmin Karachiwala, has inaugurated her new studio, Yasmin Karachiwala Body Image (YKBI), in Pune. Opened in partnership with Muscle Bar, a calisthenics gym, the studio brings together two complementary approaches to strength, mobility, and mindful movement under one roof.
With over three decades of experience, Yasmin Karachiwala has played a defining role in shaping India's contemporary fitness landscape. Recognized as the country's first BASI-certified Pilates instructor, she has trained some of India's most celebrated personalities, including Alia Bhatt, Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday, and Hrithik Roshan. She is also the author of acclaimed fitness titles such as The Perfect 10: 10-Minute Workouts You Can Do Anywhere and co-author of Sculpt and Shape: The Pilates Way.
“We are delighted to partner with Muscle Bar to bring YKBI to Pune and make Pilates more accessible to the community in this city. What makes it so effective is its versatility. It can benefit everyone from children to senior citizens, from desk-job professionals to homemakers and elite athletes,” said Yasmin Karachiwala at the launch. “Pilates is not about how much you can do, but how well you can move. It builds strength with control, improves mobility and creates a deeper understanding of your body. I have seen how the right Pilates practice can transform the way we train and recover.”
“When we started Musclebar in 2019, our focus was building an Open air gym with calisthenics and functional fitness as prime focus. Over the years, our vision has evolved into a space where people can find different forms of training and recovery patterns. Pilates was a very natural addition to that vision, and partnering with Yasmin Karachiwala’s Body Image allows us to bring it to Sopanbaug with the right expertise and experience. For us, this launch is another step towards building a complete fitness ecosystem for everyone, regardless of their age, fitness level or preferred way of training,” said Murtaza Fakhruddin Nasir, Co-founder of Musclebar and Musclebar sports club at the launch.
Yasmin Karachiwala's Body Image Pune studio offers a wide range of classes, including mat, reformer, chair, tower, mixed equipment, and small equipment sessions, recommended based on what will benefit each client most. The studio is equipped with Reformers, Chairs, and Towers, along with small equipment such as magic circles, strength straps, power pods, and booty bands.
To welcome new members, YKBI Pune is offering an exclusive introductory package: a single session for Rs 999, 4 sessions for Rs 2,999 (valid for 10 days), or 7 sessions for Rs 4,999 (valid for 20 days).
The partnership with Muscle Bar gives Pune's fitness community a space where Pilates and calisthenics complement each other, helping members build strength, control, and body awareness. With YKBI, Pune, it's time to move, breathe, and embrace a stronger, more balanced you.

Mumbai, September 2026: This September, Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai brings the Italian tradition of aperitivo to the city with Aperitivo Week from 15 to 22 September 2026. This experience at Opus and AER is created for the guests looking to ease into the evenings over cocktails and sharing plates, whether before dinner or as an occasion that carries on later into the night.
Five cocktails set the tone for the week, each offering a different interpretation of the drink. La Spiaggia, Terra Rossa, Il Tramonto, Negroni Sbagliato and Cardinale move from the roasted depth of cold brew coffee and the zest of grapefruit to juicy peach, delicate floral notes and the botanical character of gin. Served in distinctive glassware and finished with details that complement each drink, the menu brings fresh interpretation of the classic aperitivo ritual.
"Every drink on this menu has been built with intention," says Sher Thakur Singh, Director of Beverage, Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai. "“At the Aperitivo Week at Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, you will find familiar aperitivo ingredients alongside less expected touches, with differences in glassware, method and garnish allowing each drink to express its own character. It is this attention to detail that makes the experience feel elevated, while still retaining the easy, generous spirit of aperitivo.”
Aperitivo Week is the latest expression of Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai’s approach to creating distinctive experiences for its guests. From the food and drinks to the setting and service, every detail brings the expertise of the hotel’s culinary and beverage teams to an Italian ritual, reimagined for Mumbai.
"We have noticed guests increasingly want an occasion that sits between a quick drink and a full dinner, and aperitivo offers the perfect way to embrace that moment," says Nitesh Gandhi, General Manager, Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai. "It gives Opus and AER a new rhythm through the evening, a reason for guests to walk in earlier, stay longer and treat the hotel as part of their everyday plans rather than an occasional destination."
Across Opus and AER, Aperitivo Week offers guests the opportunity to discover this Italian ritual through the lens of Four Seasons Hotel Mumbai, where thoughtful cocktails, food, setting and service come together to create an evening that does not need to be rushed, or even have a defined end.

Dates: 15–22 September 2026

The much-loved specialty coffee destination marks its first venture outside Delhi with a month-long residency at one of Mumbai's most iconic luxury addresses.
Mumbai, August 2026: In just over a year, Common Time has redefined the way Delhi experiences coffee. From becoming one of the capital's most sought-after specialty coffee destinations to building a loyal community around thoughtfully designed spaces, exceptional brews and everyday rituals, the homegrown brand has rapidly established itself as a modern hospitality success story.
Now, following its remarkable expansion across Delhi, Common Time is making its Mumbai debut through an exclusive month-long pop-up at the Café by The St. Regis Mumbai, Phoenix Palladium, running from 12th August to 12th September 2026.
Set within one of the city's most distinguished luxury destinations, the collaboration introduces Mumbai to Common Time's signature approach to specialty coffee. Guests can experience a carefully curated menu featuring the brand's bestselling coffee creations bringing together quality craftsmanship, warm hospitality and the understated luxury of slowing down over a great cup of coffee.
Designed as more than just a Café experience, the pop-up reflects Common Time's philosophy of creating spaces that celebrate modern rituals. Whether it's a midday coffee break, a catch-up with friends or a quiet moment between meetings, the residency invites Mumbai to discover the everyday culture that has made Common Time a phenomenon in Delhi.
The collaboration also marks a significant milestone in the brand's growth journey. As Common Time ventures beyond its home city for the first time, the pop-up offers an opportunity to engage with Mumbai's thriving specialty coffee community, introduce new audiences to its distinctive hospitality experience and offer a first taste of what the brand represents.
Speaking about the collaboration, Jaivardhan Bhatia, Director at Bhatia Hospitality Group, shares:
"Mumbai has always been a city we've admired for its vibrant café culture and appreciation for thoughtful hospitality. Partnering with Café by The St. Regis Mumbai allows us to introduce Common Time in a way that feels true to our brand, through exceptional coffee, meaningful experiences and the simple rituals that bring people together. We see this as the beginning of our journey with the city and are excited to share a glimpse of the Common Time world with Mumbai."

Morgans Originals by Ennismore marks its India debut with Roswyn, home to Fi'lia and Black Lacquer, two distinctive culinary destinations that bring together Italian hospitality, cocktail culture and music-led experiences.
In a city that is constantly on the move, finding a place that feels familiar is a luxury in itself. Arriving in Mumbai as the first Morgans Originals by Ennismore property in India, Roswyn introduces a new kind of luxury hospitality, one that feels deeply personal, culturally attuned and effortlessly lived in. Conceived as a home in another city, Roswyn brings together thoughtful design, meaningful hospitality and immersive experiences, inviting guests to move seamlessly between moments of rest, connection and celebration. At the heart of this philosophy are Fi'lia and Black Lacquer, two distinct culinary destinations that together shape Roswyn into far more than a place to stay.
At Fi'lia, Italian hospitality is experienced the way it has been for generations around generous tables, shared plates and recipes that have travelled through families before finding their way onto the menu. Rooted in home-style cooking inspired by generations of women, the restaurant celebrates handmade pasta, Neapolitan-style pizza and seasonal produce, balancing timeless Italian classics with dishes that are thoughtful, contemporary and ingredient-led. Rather than recreating the formality of a traditional fine-dining restaurant, Fi'lia embraces the warmth and familiarity of an Italian home, where every meal becomes an occasion to gather, reconnect and create memories.
The experience extends beyond the kitchen into the bar, where an Italian-forward beverage programme showcases wines from across Italy, signature spritzes and vermouth-led cocktails that complement the restaurant's honest, comforting approach to dining. Together, the food, drinks and inviting atmosphere create a destination equally suited to leisurely lunches, intimate dinners and celebrations shared with family and friends.
As the evening unfolds, Roswyn invites guests below the surface to discover Black Lacquer, an underground listening bar where music takes centre stage. Inspired by Japan's listening bar culture, Black Lacquer blends expertly crafted cocktails, Japanese-inspired bar snacks and an ever-evolving vinyl soundtrack into a singular experience where every evening feels different from the last. Carefully curated music programming moves effortlessly across genres and moods, transforming the space throughout the day while creating an atmosphere that encourages conversation, discovery and connection.
More than a cocktail bar, Black Lacquer reimagines the modern social club for a new generation. Every detail from the cocktails to the soundtrack reflects the same commitment to creativity, generosity and thoughtful service that defines Roswyn itself.
Together, Fi'lia and Black Lacquer embody Roswyn's vision of creating spaces that evolve with the rhythm of the day and the people who inhabit them. Distinct in character yet united by a shared philosophy of genuine hospitality, they transform Roswyn into a destination where every experience, from an afternoon meal at Fi'lia to a late-night vinyl session at Black Lacquer, is designed to feel intuitive, memorable and deeply personal.
