Ellie Goulding: 'Yoga gives me the biggest high - it's an incredible legal drug'

'Starry Eyed' songstress Ellie Goulding has confessed that doing yoga is something she finds incredibly fulfilling because it gives her a drug-like high and takes her out of herself.

The beauty told Self magazine that she loves to work out and it's very important to her as it keeps both her mind and body in peak condition:

"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. 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."

Goulding then added that running is also one of her favourite types of exercise as it prevents her emotions from rising to the surface: "I don't feel emotional when I run, and that's what I love about it. It keeps me present more than anything else."
