#163 Alice Wilkinson & Susan Rollins-McEwen: Yoga Quarter & Refill Quarter

Published: Sept. 14, 2020, 4 a.m.

Alice Wilkinson and Susan Rollins-McEwen are the dynamic duo behind Yoga Quarter and Refill Quarter in East Belfast. \xa0 \xa0 They met while completing their yoga teacher training in 2016. One year later they launched Yoga Quarter in Ballyhackamore. \xa0 \xa0 Being both community-driven and environmentally-conscious, the pair were also inspired by the zero-waste shops popping up in towns and cities across Europe. So two years later they created Refill Quarter: Belfast's first zero-waste shop, located on the Belmont Road. \xa0 \xa0 Both the shop and the studio have been positively embraced by the people of East Belfast and have become an integral part of the community. \xa0 \xa0 In today\u2019s episode we talk all about:

  • Copying with style
  • Driving motorbikes and training to becoming a lay-preacher
  • The importance of community
  • How yoga changed their life
  • And the greatest challenges/successes they\u2019ve experienced along the way
\xa0 Enjoy! \xa0
