We experienced Mahati, the new wellness space in Bandra, and found a sanctuary for body, mind and soul in the heart of the city’s chaos

Mahati Wellness offers sound healing and posture correction amongst a host of other therapies
Off Carter Road in Bandra, as we walk through the bylanes of Shirley Ranjan Road on a warm November afternoon, we are transported to a tranquil zone. If you ignore the towering high-rises and focus on the beautiful bungalows, you feel you are in a sleepy fishing village. We walk into Mahati Wellness, a 6,500-sq-feet space with exposed red brick weathered walls, a pink paloda stone staircase and French doors. There are glass cabins to our right and a large golden trident to our left, enveloped in green beauty, seamlessly blending in with its surroundings, which includes a chikoo tree, laden with fruits, ready for the upcoming season.
Inside, architecture firm Rad Co+Lab has given ample importance to natural textures and earthy materials, interweaving them to create an experience for the senses that feels like a tactile embrace of nature. They offer a perfect backdrop to the various blend of programmes, including soothing sunrise and sunset sessions to sound bath meditation, body transformation, posture correction, breathing techniques, and more offered at the yoga studios, cabins, private yoga classrooms, and spacious terraces.
