At an event promoting the book, What Happened, last week in New York she explained what she did to get through one of the most grueling periods of her life.

Clinton herself had this to say about it: ’I can only say from my personal experience that if your sitting cross-legged on the yoga matt and your doing it, and you’re really trying to inhale and hold it and have a long exhale, it’s very relaxing.’
