Just like wrinkles and fine lines, saggy breasts are also a part of the natural changes that take place in every woman’s body. However, certain factors such as drastic weight loss, exercising without wearing supportive bras, smoking, and multiple pregnancies can make this inevitable change come in before its designated time.

If you too have fallen prey to this change before time, here are 7 powerful yoga poses recommended by yoga practitioner and nutritionist Paramita Singh, to tone and lift your saggy breasts back up:

Try’em to believe ‘em, we say:

1. Bhujangasana or cobra pose
It works by increasing the lung volume, strengthening the abdominal muscles, and providing support to your chest.

So, lie down on your chest and inhale deeply. Now, slowly get up with the
help of your arms and rest your body weight on your arms. Lift your head up, exhale, and come back to the starting position. Try to increase your time of holding on to the pose gradually from 5 minutes to 10 minutes.

2. Vrikshasana or tree pose
Tall and strong as a tree, this pose can help you in firming up the loose muscles of your breasts and bringing them back in shape. All you need to do is give it a good stretch and hold on to the posture for as long as possible.

Start by standing straight, raise your arms above your head and clasp them
together, getting into the namaskar pose. Now, raise your left leg and rest it on your right inner thigh while resting your entire body weight on the right leg. Stretch your arms upwards and keep breathing. Hold this pose for 30 seconds and repeat the same with the other leg.
