Spitzer call girl Ashley Dupre: Yoga saved my life

New York, March 12 (ANI): Ashley Dupre, the former high-class call girl at the centre of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, has revealed that yoga sessions have helped her find "inner strength."

The 23-year-old credited yoga classes for providing her with the strength to face the tempestuous row that saw Spitzer's resignation from his post of New York Governor last year.

"The past year has obviously been very difficult for me," the New York Post quoted her, as saying.

"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," she added.

The ex escort, who has been keeping a low profile since the storm, revealed she snubbed offers from Penthouse and Playboy saying she was "not the person that the media created".

Hoping to pen a tell-all-book, she added: "I'd really like to tell my own story on my own terms. I'd love to be able to help people work through their own issues." (ANI)
