THE LEELA PALACES, HOTELS AND RESORTS EMBARKS ON A JOURNEY OF HOLISTIC
WELLBEING WITH ‘AUJASYA BY THE LEELA’
Built around the 2Rs of
Wellbeing, Restore and Renew, the program focuses on healthy eating and
mindfulness
The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts today announced the launch of
their signature wellness programme - Aujasya by The Leela aimed at redefining
the road to holistic wellbeing. A unique blend inspired by traditional and
modern practices, Aujasya by The Leela encompasses a collection of authentic
experiences that build vivacity and promote the vigour of life, built around
the 2 Rs
of Wellbeing – Restore (Food) and Renew (Mindfulness). Taking origin
from the Sanskrit word, Aujasya - translated as beneficial to strengthening
vitality or energy, this initiative will truly allow guests to embrace an
enriching and healthy lifestyle.
The brand has launched the first pillar, Restore (Food), in
collaboration with renowned nutritionist and food consultant, Dr. Ankita
Jalori. The Leela has re- imagined culinary experiences across the country
by improving the nutritional profile of food menus and offering healthy
alternatives. Executive Chef, Simran Singh Thapar at The Leela Palace Udaipur
and Chef Rishabh Anand at The Leela Palace New Delhi along with their culinary
teams across the country have thoughtfully curated menus to achieve the right
balance between health needs and gastronomic expectations by focusing on
millets, lean proteins, low-fat dairy and whole grains.
Speaking about the launch, Mr. Anuraag Bhatnagar, Chief Operating
Officer, The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts said, “Challenges of the
contemporary world and our fast-paced lifestyles often pose a disruption for
our overall health. With Aujasya by The Leela, we are embarking on a lifelong
commitment to holistic wellbeing. Our first step with Dr. Jalori has paved the
way for a renewed take on
food and nutrition. Her expertise in the field combined with her
unmatched experience has enabled us to brew signature dishes with a renewed
nutritional focus. We are delighted to begin this journey on such a meaningful
note and will soon expand our wellbeing offering as we build on the concept of
the 2Rs of Wellbeing with a signature touch of The Leela, while staying true to
our brand ethos of placing
the guest at the centre of everything we do.”
Dr. Ankita Jalori, Food and Nutrition Consultant said, “Having worked in
the nutrition and food industry for over 20 years, I am delighted to work with
The Leela on conceptualizing Aujasya by The Leela. Today people have become
more aware and conscious of their wellbeing. Balancing nutrition with taste can
be quite a challenge. My science and knowledge and the skill and creativity of
the Chefs at The
Leela have come together to create this unique brand program for The
Leela and I am thrilled to be a part of this wholesome project and look forward
to its growth and expansion.”
