My friends always wanted me to join them for a run but being full on top; I was never very comfortable with running outdoors. I have always been too self-conscious about people ogling at me while I exercise. While I knew spot reduction was not possible, I started practising yoga and got amazing results in just six months. I appeared lean, and my upper body looked toned. If you are troubled by larger breasts like me, practise these yoga asanas recommended by yoga expert Abhishek Sharma.

Yoga will help tone your pectoral muscles which lie under your breast tissue and contribute to reducing the flab on your back and the area between your chest and underarms which will make your breasts appear smaller and firmer. Plus, yoga will also help tighten the core and chest muscles to make your upper body look lean. Also Read - Young women at high genetic risk of breast cancer, proves study

Surya Namaskar or sun salutation: Moving through the classic surya namaskar or sun salutations will help tone your entire body along with the muscles of your chest. Just 20 rounds of surya namaskar every day can contribute to reducing the flab around your chest and tighten and firm your breasts.

Setubandhasana or bridge pose: This yoga pose brings about firmness while improving the shape of your breasts. The intense backbend in the asana helps in expanding your chest and tightening the pectoral muscles. If you practice this dynamic yoga asana regularly, you can prevent your breasts from sagging. Hold this pose for fifteen steady, consistent breaths.

Ardha chakarasana or half wheel pose: This backward-bending yoga pose focuses on the areas of your upper arms and helps reduce fat below your breasts and your chest. Repeat the posture 3-5 times holding the pose for at least 15 seconds.

Padangusthasana or big toe pose: This yoga asana opens up the chest and shoulders. It is also an excellent pose to tone the lower abdomen and lengthen the hamstrings. Make sure always to perform this asana on an empty stomach. Also, ensure not to carry out the asana on a soft surface. Do it on a yoga mat instead.
