5 expert-approved yoga poses to firm sagging breasts

Most women have a love-hate relationship with one part of their body or another. This is especially true when it comes to breasts. If the pressure of society and the constant need to look “perfect” makes you think a certain way, think again! With so many things to worry about in life, sagging breasts shouldn’t be on your list. But if you still want to tone your chest and back muscles to make your breasts firmer, this article might help you!

First, you should know that saggy breasts are normal and your body goes through a myriad of changes as you grow. So, they tend to go down a bit as you get older.

Causes of sagging breasts

Breasts can change over time and come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Also, changes to a person’s breasts aren’t usually harmful and it’s nothing you should worry about. While the cause of sagging breasts or breast ptosis is unknown, studies have found causes that could cause it. According to a study published in the Annals of Plastic Surgery, some factors associated with breast ptosis include age, weight loss, higher body mass index, higher body mass index, pregnancies, and smoking. Breastfeeding, weight gain, and a lack of upper body exercise can also lead to sagging breasts.

Speaking of exercise, celebrity fitness trainer Anshuka Parwani recently took to her Instagram to share some exercises that can help improve your posture and make your breasts firmer.

Yoga for sagging breasts

In the caption, Anshuka writes, “There are certain factors like poor posture, lack of movement, which can lead to sagging breasts from a young age. A few movements will activate and tone your chest and back muscles, which will help keep your breasts firm and relieve stiff back muscles. A hunched or hunched back can cause the breasts to sag from their own weight, aggravating the sagging process. But when your posture is good, you’re indirectly putting less strain on your back and breasts.

Here are some fitness expert recommended exercises for sagging breasts that you can do every day if you want to see a difference:
