Are you experiencing breast sagging? While many people think of saggy breasts as a by-product of old age, the muscles can become loose and sag in young women, too; there could be many reasons for it. According to Anshuka Parwani, celebrity yoga and holistic wellness expert, sagging breasts is a ‘natural process’ that takes place in every woman’s body. But, certain factors like ‘drastic loss of weight’, ‘not wearing supportive bras’, ‘lifestyle habits’ and ‘pregnancy’, etc., can speed up the process, she says. The expert adds that while yoga cannot change the shape of someone’s breasts, it can strengthen the muscles around the chest and improve posture which, in turn, helps tone and lift the saggy breasts.
In a post shared on Instagram, Parwani demonstrated some asanas with which you can take care of the problem of sagging breasts. She mentioned that while practising these asanas, one must focus on maintaining proper alignment and engaging the muscles around their chest and upper back. They must incorporate these poses in their daily yoga routine to see the best results. Take a look.

Extended Arms To Cactus Arms In Vajrasana
In this asana, you sit with your legs folded and extend your arms outwards, like shown in the video. Lock your fingers and thrust your chest in. Then, take your arms to your side with your elbows bent, look upwards and thrust your chest out. Repeat this motion for a few minutes. You can also change sides and continue doing it.
Reverse Table Top Pose
This is the second asana that can take care of saggy breasts. In this, you basically sit on the yoga mat first and then make a table-top with your body. Place your arms behind you and lift your body up. Place the weight of the body on your hands and feet as shown in the video and stare upwards. It is a difficult pose to master, so you might have to practise it a few times. It can open and stretch the muscles of the chest. Gently bring your pelvis down, relax, and assume the position again.
Cow Face Pose
The third yoga asana is the cow face pose. In this, you take your arms behind you, over the shoulders, and lock them on your back — with one arm bent over the shoulder and the other reaching it by bending at the rib cage. Hold this position by locking your fingers.
Cobra Pose
The fourth asana is the cobra pose. Lie down on your stomach and then gently lift your upper body up by placing the weight on the palms. Make sure your elbows are straight and your legs are relaxed.
Camel Pose
Finally, try the camel pose, wherein you stand on your knees, your legs bent backwards. Gently bend your spine and bring your upper body backwards so that your arms reach the heels. Look up and hold this posture.
