Founder/Director

I have known Kellie since she was knee high to a grasshopper and I was... younger... now, I'm older than some (rather youngish, upstart) mountains in Northern British-Columbia and she has become a yoga instructor in the land of green and purple neon (Florida) and squeeky sand (quartz crystal apparently). In terms of her "evolution," and "testimonies"... well, I guess I could say she's somewhat of an Old Testamental yoga instructor... a little Book of Job... a little "gnashing of teeth" (so, ok... maybe she spans both the Old and the New... in other words, she's a whole handful of Testaments--as far as yoga instructors go. In any event, I know Kellie's is a long time sort of love-affair with yoga... and she's a power-house, and a lot of fun as a teacher, so... if yoga's your thing, and you live in the flat-lands of squeeky sands, gators, and purple-green neon, then maybe she's the one to help rock your boat... ("ark" is probably more technically correct in the present instance, given the Old Testament background to this recommendation).

Kellie and Jeweled Lotus Yoga bring "big city" yoga to small town Central Florida. Her teaching style and the studio is welcoming to beginners as well as those with a long history of practice; there are a variety of classes for any ability level. The boutique at Jeweled Lotus carries a gorgeous selection of yoga and lifestyle clothing as well as jewelry Kellie makes herself. Jeweled Lotus is definitely a tremendous asset to the downtown area and the community as a whole!

Kellie is a gifted teacher who inspires and educates with her presence on the mat, while teaching, as well as in her life. I would recommend anyone new to yoga, or a seasoned practitioner to study with kellie, as they will certainly come away with more insight of the journey, while having their hearts touched as well. (did I mention she makes AMAZING jewelry and knits beautifully as well? check out her stuff @ anahata designs!) love you so much kel!

I wish I lived closer to Jeweled Lotus Yoga. Kellie is, by far, the best yoga instructor I've ever had. I miss her classes. If you are in the Leeseburg area and looking for great yoga, Kellie is your girl, you will leave feeling powerful and renewed. She has a way of describing poses that just makes sense. She also helps your body move into the correct postures with gentle adjustments that push you further. I found that my body could do more than I thought it could when in her class and it was never a struggle.

Kellie is one of the most devoted and educated instructors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and learning from. She not only loves yoga but she lives her yoga. She continues to infuse her community, one which had very little yoga before she opened Jeweled Lotus, with mind-body knowledge, beautiful flowing yoga, and tools for healthier, more mindful living. Kellie is truly a joy to practice with and to be around.

I've actually known Kellie for quite some years! To see Kellie evolve into this clearly beloved instructor and teacher in her community is a testament to the path she has committed to - a natural yet destined progression of what I can imagine are many years of dedication and study. It makes perfect sense when I picture her purely sweet and intelligent nature. Yoga is blessed to have Kellie.

Kellie is a loving, compassionate and joyful teacher. These attitudes pervade her studio. I began yoga nearly two years ago to help me with my rheumatoid arthritis. The benefits to my RA were immediate but that was just the beginning. To sum it up: after decades of physical discipline (aerobics exercise) and spiritual discipline her yoga teaching has merged to two. Kellie has a Gift. Leesburg is Blessed to have her. Thanks you Kellie.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kellie at the Rasa-Lila Fest in September, 2011. I credit her workshop on living a yogic lifestyle with expanding my knowledge immensely and for giving me tools on how to share my love for Yoga with those around me.

Kellie is such an amazing yoga teacher and person! She has changed my yoga practice from something I did to just workout and relax to a spirital reawaking within myself and a true desire to be and live better! She is just simiply a blessing to have in your life and yoga practice!

Kellie is a powerful presence in the yoga community with a focus on developing her students while contributing to the local community.

I have known Kellie since I was 12yrs. old-I am now 33....she is trustworthy, kind, caring, honest, hard working...there is nothing that she cannot do if she sets her mind to it....when you meet her she puts you completly at ease and what you say really matters to her-when you go its like a healing...

Kellie Adkins, is so welcoming to all her students, new and established. She has a way of making everyone feel at home, and always encouraging. Once you start, your hooked! A great workout, fantastic relaxation and clarity of thought. Jeweled Lotus Yoga is the place to be!

I was never into yoga much before I started taking classes with Kellie. She is very dedicated and very friendly! She made me feel comfortable each time I would fall out of a pose and feel awkward! She gives a lot of individual attention to each student!

I have the dear @[5259600:2048:Kellie] to thank for introducing me to and inspiring me with a practice that has transformed who I am on so many levels.

Every week I look forward to going to Jewel Lotus Yoga. Kellie has been such an inspiration in so may ways. Physically, mentally and spiritually. She is an amazing yoga instructor.
