Ashley Dupre: "Yoga Helps Me Focus"


Ashley Dupre, who brought down New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, is working through her karma utilizing yoga, with, of all people, mogul and music impresario Russell Simmons. Simmons, a vehement vegan who meditates daily and has spoken at yoga health events, has said that yoga is his obsession. From NYPost's Page Six:


"The past year has obviously been very difficult for me," Dupre tells Page Six's Neel Shah. "Yoga has really helped me turn it into a huge learning experience. I'm working hard to take what I went through and turn it into something positive. Yoga helps me focus."


Of Simmons, Dupre says: "He's become a mentor, and has helped me work through my issues. I feel liberated and honored that people like him support me. I'm starting to feel respected for who I am." Would you like to do the "Sun Salute" with the mogul? Simmons is presently offering a yoga lesson with him for the charity organization "Art for Life Miami Beach." The organization is "dedicated to providing disadvantaged urban youth with significant exposure and access to the arts, as well as providing exhibition opportunities to under-represented artists and artists of color." The event takes place on March 14th. Current bidding is at $1,000.
