Ashley Judd

She was diagnosed with bipolar a decade ago and found yoga so much more helpful than the pills that she was prescribed with. “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” she said.

“I haven’t been depressed in a while, but it’s something I know how to look for in life. Yoga has made a big difference there…because when I feel that slippery slope, instead of just monitoring and being fearful, now I give thanks for my struggles.”

“I try to remember that true happiness is not dependent on the circumstances and conditions” commented Ashley.
