About Kelli Hastings, a/k/a "The Yoga Lawyer"...
Kelli is a yoga teacher, author, homestead farmer, artist, and lawyer with over twenty years of experience as a civil litigator and yoga instructor.
The personal tragedies of losing her brother and father 6 months apart to cancer in 2010 sparked within her a re-awakening. Her journey led her deeper into the practice and study of Yoga, and then to India. Kelli spent about six months total in India, over the course of 3 years. In India, Kelli connected to and felt deeply the Love that permeates all of existence. It transformed her and set her life on a different trajectory - from a material-minded, overworked attorney to a more fully integrated, spiritual human being.
She has studied Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga at its source in Mysore, Karnataka India, and is an E-RYT with thousands of hours of yoga teaching experience. Her school, Sister Lotus Yoga, is a registered yoga school with the Yoga Alliance, though her focus is not on the physical practice of yoga asana, but the integration of yoga practices and principles into everyday life.
Kelli's award-winning first book, "Rotten Minerva: Be an Unruly Warrior and Embark on a Spiritual Quest" is available in print at all major retailers, and is now available as on Audible as an audiobook read by the author!

Student review: Rosa from Longwood, FL
"Finding Wholeness should be every one’s business. If you look at human interactions you will notice that we are truly not done evolving.
"It was fascinating that at the time of most struggle for others I discovered Kelli Hastings: RYT 200 Apprenticeship class open the doors of pure bliss for me. I was able to learn the eight limbs of Yoga. The Actual Ashtanga according to the Mysore traditions. Applying these to my regular life came naturally with this class. It included a deeper understanding of The Yoga Sutra and the Sage Patanjali. And the Asanas will make you sweat but not the typical Superficial “Power Yoga” Western version of sweat.
"The most appreciative part of the class is to actually find someone that practices what she preaches all the Yamas. I’m not going to tell you what it means go find out in the class!"
