Yoga vs. Big Breasts

I love Yoga.  On a great week, I make it to class 3-4 times a week.  Usually I average about twice a week.  I also love my boobs.  We've been hanging out together 24-7 since I was 15.  Unfortunately, bigger boobs and yoga don't always go together.  I usually wear yoga pants and a fitted tank top ( the longer kind that comes down to my hips) and I sometimes find myself  offering a semi-peep show during class.  As I am practicing, the following questions run through my mind:

Are they going to fall out the side of my shirt during side plank?
During low lunge, do I position my knee in between them or push them to the side?
While I be suffocated again during downward facing dog when they fall on my chin?
Will they fall to the left and right during corpse pose?

LOL, I am making them sound like I am Dolly Parton's  sister.  I'm not, they aren't even "huge" by any standards just average/big enough to have to wonder about these things. 

Of course I wear a sports bra, but even if it fits perfectly, it's just like trying to stuff a full size meatloaf into a quart-sized baggie.  You are bound to have some "meat" spilling out of the sides somewhere. :)  It doesn't bother me that much during Zumba and hip hop dance, because the more shaking, popping and locking you've got going on, the better.

Last week during low lunge, I snuck a quick peek in the full length mirror during class and discovered I was one of many women offering a semi-peep show.  It's an entire tribe of us! 

I still love yoga and I still love my boobs. They will both be in my life indefinitely.  A few minutes of uncomfortableness a few times a week  is nothing.  Maybe I'll make make the rest of the tribe T-shirts for our next class.

Do you love it?  I do!
