Chicago Lawyer Magazine Profile Looks at How Steven Hunter Uses Yoga to Stay One Step Ahead in His Practice
Quarles partner Steven Hunter was featured in a Chicago Lawyer Magazine profile that put the spotlight on his passion for yoga and the positive influence it has had on his practice.
Hunter, a Chicago-based member of the Litigation & Dispute Resolution Practice Group, has practiced and taught yoga for several years, including to colleagues and other attorneys through professional organizations. He credits yoga with giving him the ability to better analyze and anticipate issues.
An excerpt from the article:
Daily yoga gives Hunter improved ability to identify persuasive arguments and to focus on solutions. It manages stress and provides a physically challenging workout.
“When you have to solve a problem, things may be easier when you are not in a hyper stress state and able to separate from all of it,” he said.

The ability to step back, make space and see what may be missing are skills Hunter has honed through yoga. It may take time to master a pose or increase a stretch. It may feel like an obstacle. But to Hunter, realizing a new strength and letting go of what holds him back from achieving his next goal makes it worthwhile.
