The Four Weddings star told Yoga magazine that she started practising 25-years ago to help her with pregnancy, and tries to do some every day.
MacDowell, looking amazing at 53 on the magazine cover, gushed about how it has totally transformed her life.
'Yoga's helped everything,' she said.
'It's helped my outlook, how I interact with people, it's made me more conscious, it's helped me be able to focus, make better decisions, think on my feet. I don't know what I'd do without it. It's my sanctuary.'
She also said that she has taken yoga beyond the physical and is 'moving into a more spiritual path'.She said she has undertaken the cleansing system of Panchakarma 'several times', calling it 'something that's really important for grounding myself especially if I've been stressed out at the end of a movie'.
She added: 'I've also been practising Ayurvedic medicine and I've read the Bhagavad Gita and Rumi and these are very important.
'I will do simple cleanses and have a day where I'm quiet and don't talk.
'I need to have this experience, especially after work has been really intense.'
