Ellie Goulding claims she does yoga instead of drugs.
The ‘Burn’ hitmaker admits she’s addicted to the traditional Indian discipline and can’t go a day without an intense workout session.
The 27-year-old singer said: "I get the biggest high when I do yoga. People don’t realise that there’s such an incredible drug in life that doesn’t involve any substances."
The British beauty added: "My training is part of my life. It’s something I need to do every day, because it affects my mood, my fitness, even my mind-set onstage."
Ellie – who is dating McFly star Dougie Poynter, who sought treatment in rehab for alcohol and drug addiction in 2011 – also enjoys running on a regular basis, even when she’s touring, because it helps her to feel more in control of her life.
She explained: "I don’t feel emotional when I run, and that’s what I love about it. It keeps me present more than anything else."
She also told Self magazine that exercise helps her to stay grounded despite her huge success.
She said: "I’ve gained slightly different priorities while being on this planet, and one of them is to respect my body and to do as much as I can with it while I’m here."
