Ashlee Simpson credits yoga for baby bond

Ashlee Simpson has credited her yoga classes for nurturing her close bond with baby Bronx Mowgli.

The 24-year-old, who gave birth to her first child with Pete Wentz nine months ago, revealed that being pregnant has made her extremely health conscious.

"Your body is changing, and it's such an amazing time to feel that connection," she told Redbook. "I did prenatal yoga, which was a nice way to mellow down and focus on me and Bronx. Being pregnant was the healthiest I've ever been in my life. Except for the cupcakes!"

Simpson added: "I've grown up so much. The great thing about being pregnant is that you have nine months and it really does prepare you.

"Being a mum's so empowering and incredible. I'm one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that's where the best moments come from."

As previously reported, the couple are considering leaving Los Angeles in order to shelter Bronx Mowgli from unwanted media attention.
