Yoga for Michael Mayer every Sunday

Corporate India takes a timeout on Sunday, both from office and the gym. But Michael Mayer, head of passenger cars at Volkswagen India, makes it a part of his Sunday routine to have a session of yoga at his Bandra home. Mayer says those 60 minutes every weekend keep his mind and body balanced.

"I try to do yoga wherever I can. Even if I am travelling, I spend at least 15 minutes doing asanas and meditation," says the 45-year old. Mayer began practising yoga in 2008, when he was living in Germany. He moved to India in June 2014.

"In India, it is normal, but anywhere else, it is exotic. It has been an exciting hobby. It helps me develop serenity," he says. Well, balance and yoga are key "for a man who has been brought to India to keep Volkswagen in the driver’s seat.
