You’re not happy with your breasts because they sag or are “out of shape”? Then try these 7 yoga exercises, which are especially effective for your breasts.
1. The warrior
The Yoga Warrior (Sanskrit: Virabhadrasana) is a Yoga exercise that refers to the great warrior Virabhadra. It is not only very strenuous, but also helps your upper body to become elastic and active. In the pose the left leg is bent 90 degrees, the knee is just above the ankle. The arms are stretched to the side parallel to the floor, the palms of the hands point down. The hip is turned to the left, creating tension in the thighs.
2. The triangle
The triangular pose (Sanskrit: Trikonasana) strengthens your chest, stretches your spine and improves blood flow. Here’s how it works: place your feet far apart on the yoga mat, the left one turned 90 degrees, the right 15 degrees. Touch the left ankle with your left hand and stretch your right arm up. Both arms should form a line. The knees are extended, the face is looking up. The exercise can be repeated with the other side.
3. The cobra
Bhujangasana, or also called “The Cobra”, has great effects on your body. The yoga exercise increases your lung volume, stretches your chest muscles, strengthens your abdominal muscles and improves your posture. That’s how it works: Lie on your stomach and take a deep breath. Slowly lift your upper body and balance your weight on your arms. Raise your head and look straight ahead. You should be able to hold yourself longer each time.
4. The bow
The bow pose (Sanskrit: Dhanurasana) is one of the basic postures from Hatha Yoga. It helps to stretch the entire spine, strengthen the upper back muscles and steel the arms and thighs. At the same time it also shapes your breasts. How does it work? You lie on your stomach while your hands grab your ankles and the chest is bent upwards. Sounds easy, but it’s not.
5. The wheel / The bridge
The yoga exercise Chakrasana, or wheel, develops a strong flexibility in the abdomen, chest, shoulders, thighs and back. It is an exercise that releases neck tension, improves venous blood flow back to the heart and helps digestion by stretching the abdominal organs. And this is how it works: Your hands and feet are on the floor during this asana, your head is turned around, your upper body stretched towards the ceiling. Beginners start from the floor and lift themselves into the bent supine position, advanced students can bend backwards from a standing position.
6. The headstand
Salamba Sirsasana, or headstand, stretches the muscles of the spine and upper body in general. It is said to help improve breathing and blood flow. If necessary, you can practice against a wall at the beginning to maintain balance. In this yoga exercise you bring both legs up so that one leg after the other touches the wall, then you stretch both legs. The whole body is perpendicular to the floor, the spine straight, the shoulders raised. Stay in this position for at least one minute.
7. The camel
The camel pose (Sanskrit: Ustrasana) is effective in fighting back pain – and effective for beautiful, firm breasts. Why? Because this exercise strengthens the chest. This is how it works: Ustrasana is a backward bend, where you grab your heels with your hands one after the other. The arms are stretched out, the hips remain above the knees. Head and neck are relaxed, the pose is held for several breaths.
If you repeat these exercises more often, you will soon notice a strengthening of the chest muscles, which in turn is reflected in a beautiful chest shape. Just try it out – and devote yourself to the power of the asanas.
