All of you gals and guys crack me up with this boobie talk.  But anyway, I can totally relate to the whole breasticles getting in the way thing while doing yoga. It's sooo not comfortable to get the twins squished while doing yoga. As a fellow big-busted sistah, I find wiggling and maneuvering until the titties are comfortable after I've gotten into the lunge takes too much out of the flow of my practice as the wiggling sometimes can take a while if the "girls" are being disagreeable. I just go straight into the lunge, take a second to note if the twins (Mike and Ike) are comfy. If they are, I keep going. If not, well, I just take my hands and quickly lift and push them into a more bearable position before settling in completely for the pose, and then I'm fine. Lunges usually aren't a problem for me, now when I'm in Uttanasana (standing forward bend) and those titties flop in my face while my chin is tucking in towards my chest (I kinda get a sense that I'm suffocating myself w/ my own boobies), that's where my real problem is... | |||

I refer to mine as "the sisters." A few more years and I will need binoculars to see them, drooping down by my feet.  I'm so happy you posted that link to the sports bra site! I had finally found one that a) fit, and b) held them up so you can actually tell I have a waistline. Then, it got discontinued!! WAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!  Ladies, clearly there is a need for us to get together and work out a yoga program for the big busted ladies. We also need to get back to the drawing board on designing that bra to hold the girls DOWN during inversions. We'll be millionaires! | |||

| Just saw Echo's comment about Crocodile pose in another thread, but thought I'd reply here as to not detract from the main subject of that particular conversation. For us big-busted types, you will find that any pose requiring you to lay face-down on the floor will result in arching your lower back (sometimes painfully so). It can be EXTREMELY helpful to position a folded blanket beneath your hips and to gently engage your abdomen, to decrease the curve in your lower back. I learned this one the hard way!  | |||

Yeah... with the face-down poses we're kinda back to "the resultant titty squish"! I feel okay without the blanket, tho my dvd instructor did mention it as an alternative to just the mat. I just have to make a quick little rearrangment of the girls before I carry on! In other news, I'm working hard at my new style of lunges - keeping my forward knee between bust & arm. It's tough! I never thought I had short arms before! Namaste to all! Echo | |||

Funnily enough I don't have issues with the face down poses, it's more often inversions or seated twists that give me more issues as there's nowhere to put the 'girls'  I find them an advantage in some situations. EG the version of corpse pose where you're face down is actually extremely comfortable for me, even more so than being on my back at the moment due to a pesky SI injury that's still healing.

| Fee, have you tried doing savasana (face up) with a bolster or rolled blanket propped beneath your knees? My S.I. joint is weak and I have found that to be helpful in relieving discomfort. But, it has not sustained any specific injury so your situation may be different. The "sisters" can pose a whole different problem in savasana that had never occurred to me - see my post under "Yoga Teachers" in the thread about issues adjusting students! Boy did I have an interesting class last night!  | |||

| Thanks for the tips. I'd not heard of the 'logpile' . I have done the knee contorsion one though, but haven't for a while so thanks for the reminder! White girl thing? And I thought folk were just being rude when they described me as a 'tight-ass'  Fee | |||

Now THAT's a brilliant idea!!! Go Itchy!  So... do any of us know anything about microchips...? (And think of how these babies would sell in Vegas! ROFL!) Would we call it the "push-around bra"?!LOL | |||

| Love it!!!! Mind you, it'd have to have a safety feature in the event of failure.... you wouldn't want it constricting until you looked laminated or, perhaps worse, explosively loosening so that everything went everywhere at once *ggggg*!!!
