A decade at LLB – and now? For Roger Gmür, this is the perfect time to embark on an exciting journey into the unknown.

Roger Gmür is celebrating his 10^th anniversary at LLB this year – a milestone we are celebrating together, and for which we warmly thank him. As a token of appreciation for his long-standing commitment, Roger, like all employees celebrating an anniversary, has the option to choose between a cash benefit or time-out days. Roger chose the time-out days, but instead of spending them on a relaxing holiday, he has decided to embark on an extraordinary adventure: He will train to become a yoga teacher at an ashram in India.

Why India and yoga? We asked Roger why he chose this particular adventure:

“India is the cradle of yoga, and I want to learn the practice where it originated," Roger explains. “The spiritual heritage and deep tradition of yoga give my training in Rishikesh, at the foot of the Himalayas, a very special significance. The natural surroundings not only foster peace and mindfulness but also deepen the practice. Itʼs a place where people from all over the world come together to share their passion for yoga. This international community creates a unique atmosphere of learning and mutual support."

Rogerʼs journey will take him to Vinyasa Yoga Ashram, where he will complete an intensive 200-hour yoga teacher training course. “I will spend several weeks deeply immersed in the philosophy and practice of yoga," he says enthusiastically. “The intensive experience and the chance to fully concentrate on the training are a welcome break from everyday life."

But for Roger, itʼs not only about the physical practice: “I will also be following a purely vegetarian diet during this time, which will be a new experience for me," he adds. “Itʼs an opportunity to bring body and mind into harmony."

And the highlight of his trip? “At the end, I will visit the Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World."

We wish Roger every success during this extraordinary time and look forward to hearing about his experiences.
