After tasting the pace of New York, which “never fully felt like home”, New Farm yoga studio owner Aiko Neligan brought her big ideas back to Brisbane.

Desperately waiting for Irish police to send through the documents that would let her finalise her visa application and stay in New York, Neligan had an ingenious idea. She Googled the best cake shop in Dublin, and started sending desserts to the station to sweeten her appeal.

While size has restricted the scale of her business – “We only have five people per class” – Neligan sees that as a benefit. “I think it’s actually better for the space,” she says, pointing to the popularity of her one-on-one sessions.Sipping homemade matcha lattes from opposite sides of the kitchen bench, the next hour is spent moving through the decades that have, eventually, brought her full circle.

“They never confirmed that they did [rush the check through], but on the Friday, the American embassy reached out and I had all the paperwork they needed,” she recalls.
