Yoga with a large chest!

[slipperyeel]

I’ve started re-doing yoga again after a gap of about 15 years. I’ve always had big boobs but now I’m 40 they feel much heavier and are really starting to affect my posture.
Will/can yoga help this? Standing properly is much more difficult now than it used to be.

I’ve got good sports bras but they just seem to transfer the weight elsewhere.

For context I’m size 10 with a G cup.
I’d like a reduction but not something I can afford either money or time wise.

Hi - I'd definately say it's worth doing... I'm a similar age and size and started yoga a couple of years ago. I had really bad posture (made worse by sitting at a desk all day) and issues with my neck and back.

It's a gradual process but I'm noticing I'm more aware of my body
and alignment, even off the mat. I find it much easier to stand and sit up straight now and feel stronger in general. Yoga also helps unlock my spine and ease out any tension thats built up in my back and shoulders and always makes me feel mentally better after a rough day.

I aim to do a bit every day (doesn't always happen!) even if its just a few minutes of calming moves. I usually do Yoga with Adriene - she has loads of free videos on YouTube of varying lengths and themes. Try seaching 'YWA upper back'.

In case you fancy trying a different sports bra, I find Inspire by Bravissimo really comfy (I wear it all day sometimes) and it gives a great shape.

Hope that helps

Yeah, yoga is brilliant for your core, really good for back issues. Have fun!

I'm a size 12 with a 34KK chest. I do yoga and ballet. I wear a normal underwired bra plus a sports bra on top.
