Yoga to Improve Breast Appearance

2 July 2013

No need to hide your droopy breasts by wearing push up bras any more. If you’re looking for a good solution for saggy breasts, try yoga practice. Yoga asana can give your breasts excellent lift and refined contour.

A woman’s breasts are generally taken as an indication of her overall beauty and body fitness. Sagging or drooping breasts can take away your confidence and make you feel overly self-conscious, especially if you’re in the nude or in loose fitting, skimpy clothes. This can also lower your self-esteem. In these situations, you may be tempted to fall victim to all the ads and commercials claiming to tone and firm breasts, going so far as opting for cosmetic breast lifting surgery. Things like padded bras and other absurd “boob boosters” are not only expensive but also cumbersome to wear.

Maintaining proper physical posture, regular breathing exercises and practicing mediation will all help to achieve a more perfect body appearance, so you can walk gracefully with a nice youthful body presence.

Breast toning can be a problem in itself. Sagging breasts are a common complaint among aging women. However, many women notice it to a great extent after pregnancy, breastfeeding, and/or losing weight. Breasts are primarily made up of fatty tissues and milk producing glands, but they lack muscle mass. This makes it nearly impossible to tone or shape the loose skin in sagging breasts. When breast tissues are no more capable of holding your breasts up, the result is saggy boobs. So, this begs the question; what you can do to improve your bust-line?

There are yoga asanas that can firm, tone and strengthen the underlying muscles that your breasts rest upon. Stretching and strengthening the upper chest muscles (pectorals) and the chest muscles surrounding the breasts will tighten and lift them up. Regular yoga practice works for nearly all breast problems and bestows a more curvaceous look.

Yoga asana practice is a completely natural method which has direct impact in improving both breast shape and breast health. Yoga exercises, especially those with special stretching techniques help to streamline top-heavy figures and give breasts a “perkier” look. Good breast shape with enhanced cleavage can heighten your sense of feeling beautiful, plus it boosts your confidence.
