Judd uses yoga to combat depression. Contactmusic.com, 29 Aug 2005.
“Ashley Judd credits yoga for helping her conquer depression.
“The “Kiss the Girls” was diagnosed bipolar a decade ago and found her interest in yoga and all
that comes with it was more helpful to her than pills she was prescribed.
“She says, ‘My mat is a safe place. I’ll go into Child’s pose or I’ll simply sit on it and cry. It’s my
rock.
“‘I haven’t been depressed in a while, but it’s something I know how to look for in my life. Yoga
has made a big difference there... because when I feel that slippery slope, instead of just
monitoring it and being fearful, now I give thanks for my struggles.
“‘I try to remember that true happiness is not dependant on circumstances and conditions.. .’”

“Anodea Judith has mapped the striking connections between the yogic healing arts and modern
psychology and demonstrates how a combination of both traditions can be dramatically more
effective than using either one alone.”
