Ashlee Simpson credits yoga for close bond with son

Washington (ANI): Singer Ashlee Simpson-Wentz says yoga has helped her bond with her nine-month-old son.

Contactmusic quoted her as saying: "Your body is changing, and it's such an amazing time to feel that connection. 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!"

The 24-year-old star said the nine-month pregnancy prepared her for motherhood, which she calls 'empowering'. She told Redbook magazine: "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 mom'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."
