I was working full time, then teaching [yoga] in the evenings and at weekends and hardly seeing my husband Mike at all. We couldn't even have weekends away as that was a key time for my lessons.

This was in the February of 2020. Then when reality hit about Covid 19 and lockdown was announced in late March I had a heart stopping moment of thinking "OMG, great timing Vicki". How could my new business be over before I'd really got going?

Lockdown hasn't put the breaks on my business, if anything it's fast-tracked me in terms of what I feel is possible. I've co-run online yoga and wellness retreats with my holistic therapist friend Jo Tocher. In a way, lockdown has made me more resourceful and daring.
