We had to stop all in-person classes and quickly changed how we were working to adapt to the situation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the business also being their place of residence, the retreat was not eligible for a lot of avenues of financial support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe only thing we could apply for was a small bounce back loan,\u201d explained Sally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, in order to survive, it was time for the business to adapt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe had to transfer all our classes online for the local people, which was in itself a huge challenge as many of our customers in rural West Wales were not at all comfortable with technology,\u201d Sally commented. \u201cIt was a big learning curve for us all!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online learning was not where the innovation stopped, however, as the business came up with a new online course for their yoga-teaching community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt ended up spreading further and wider than we had initially imagined,\u201d stated Sally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe knew so many people were in financial turmoil \u2013 including ourselves \u2013 so we had an idea to offer an accredited course for a donation-based payment, according to students\u2019 income.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo, we proposed a year-long, online Yoga Therapy training, aimed mostly at yoga teachers. The monthly payments offered were anything from \u00a3150 to \u00a315! We trusted that everyone would be honest about what they could afford without taking advantage, and I think that course gave around \u00a32000 per month! It really did save us for a while!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd over the course of the pandemic, we adapted and were able to later run hybrid courses with a mix of in-person and online training, which we never would have considered before!\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28051\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/5-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/5-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/5-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/5-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The business\u2019 flexibility in the face of the pandemic was crucial in ensuring that it survived, like so many other organisations in sport and leisure and beyond.
