Adapted Yoga Case Study

Durham based mum, Nicola, an above the knee amputee of five years really suffered during lockdown. Being such a bubbly, social person that always loved a hug and seeing family, she felt absolutely broken when the rules came into place. Not being able to see anyone or have physical contact was soul destroying. Having lupus also meant she had to shield. She saw an email regarding the reVAMP programme and she signed up. However, being alone for most of the time and away from many loved ones completely took its toll on Nicola and she struggled with her mental health. She didn’t continue with the programme other than her yoga where possible. That weekly yoga was one of the only things that kept her going. She found that it really helped with her mind.
