Breasts are intimately connected to a woman’s overall well-being.
While we are all beautiful in our own skin
no matter what the size,
there are ways to achieve
a toned chest without undergoing treatment!
Hi, I’m nishtha, a certified yoga teacher,
and practicing yoga everyday can be very effective
in firming, toning and maintaining the health of your breasts.
So let’s begin!
Stand with your right side close to the wall,
extend your right arm up, behind your body,
with your palm up on the wall.
Turn your breast bone away from the wall
to feel a stretch deep in the chest.
Hold for 7-10 breaths.
Release and repeat on the other side.
This will help you to stretch the shoulder
and the arm and create an opening in the chest.
It's a great preparation before moving into deeper poses.
You can be in a standing or seated position
with your spine comfortably lifted.
Bring your palms joining in together in Namaste,
in front of the breast bone.
Make sure your elbows are pointed out to the sides
and start to press your palms strongly into each other.
Let your shoulders and neck be relaxed all throughout.
Hold for 7-10 breaths,
then release and repeat 3-4 times more.
The Palm Press will help you to create
space in the chest cavity, expand your lungs,
open the rounded shoulders
and help in firming the breast tissue.
Start by lying on your belly.
Place your palms lower than chest level and feet together.
Press your palms to lift your chest and lift off the ground.
Straighten your arms and bring the shoulders and wrists in a line.
If possible,
press your toes on the mat to lift the knees off by an inch.
Make sure to not shrug your shoulders
and avoid rounding the chest.
Hold for 5-8 breaths.
Release and repeat once again.
This asana helps to lengthen your spine,
opens the chest and shoulder,
improves posture and
gives a natural lift to the breasts.
Bring yourself on your fours
and keep your feet flat and relaxed.
Start to slide your palms forward on the mat
and bring your forehead or chin on the mat.
Maintain the hips and knees in one line.
If your chin comes to the mat easily,
then try to press your chest down to the mat.
But avoid sliding forward too much,
which will bring you out of the pose.
Instead press the chest downward.
This asana helps to really open the thoracic
and cervical spine while stretching the shoulders,
triceps and armpits.
Once the upper spine learns to open,
it gives the breasts a fuller and healthier look.
Hold here for 7-10 breaths.
Release and repeat once again.
Get started by being in a kneeling position.
Keep your feet flat and legs close to each other.
Slowly raise the right arm up,
circle it back to take the palm down to the right heel.
Arch open your spine more,
as you follow it up with the left palm
coming down to the left heel.
If comfortable drop your head back.
Stay in the pose by keeping your hip pushed forward
and chest opened up.
Hold the pose 5-8 breaths
While coming out of the pose,
circle the right arm back up,
following it up with the left arm.
Once you've finished the pose,
you can move into the child's pose
to relax your back.
Release and repeat once again.
If you have a stiff neck,
keep your chin pressed into chest instead of dropping back.
If dropping both hands to the heels
is not comfortable, then only drop one hand at a time.
This asana helps to open up your upper spine, shoulder & neck.
It helps in expansion of the chest and lifts up the breast bone.
Regular practice of these asanas
will ensure that you have an open chest,
toned breast as well as a better posture.
And find yourself strutting with pride!
Thank you for watching, hope you enjoyed!
I'm Nishtha, until next time stay tuned and stay Glamrs.
