5 yoga moves to firm your breasts

With Breast Cancer Awareness Month at a close, yoga instructor Shakeera Tayob thought it well to share a few more tips to ensure residents stay healthy before the end of October.

“These simple yoga poses stimulate the vital energy through the lymphatic system. Our breasts don’t need to sag if we know how to keep the supporting muscles strong. Just think how much healthier your breasts could be if they can support themselves with their own muscles rather than relying on ‘supportive’ but tight bras, which can seriously constrict your vital circulation.

Here are few exercises to keep your breasts firm and lovely

The diagonal stretch: sit in this easy pose and place your thumbs on the pads of your hands at the base of your little finger. Keep your other fingers straight. Inhale as the left arm goes up and exhale as the right arm goes up. Breathe powerfully and quickly.

The snapping-back movement: sit in a rock pose and make a fist with your thumb tucked inside. Bring your hands to chest level with your arms by your side, elbows pulled back, powerfully extend your right arm and open your fingers as though you were grasping at something and exhale. Now do the same exercise using your left hand.

The bridge: lie on your back with your feet bent, place your feet flat on the ground close to your buttocks, hands on the floor, shoulder blades on the ground. Lift as high as possible with your chest pushed up, inhale and count to four then come down, exhale. Repeat.

 

Lastly, for good breast health, yoga teachings say breasts should be kneaded like bread daily.
