Yoga cannot reduce your breast size without reducing weight over all. Increased breast size is normal after the birth of a child, and generally your breast size will return to close to normal with a few months after you stop breast feeding. However,if you are not finding that this is the case,you can try yoga that will help you lose weight over all (as it is very difficult to target a specific area without gaining muscle in that area and muscle will only increase your breast size). Try practicing the more high energy yoga styles such as Power yoga or Ashtanga yoga. These styles will increase your heart rate and ultimately your metabolic rate. This will increase the number of calories you burn which will help you lose weight. Power yoga and Ashtanga yoga focus on Sun Salutations at an increased pace which will cause you to breath harder and get your heart beating faster. Both styles may be done in a heated room for added effect.
You will want to avoid asanas that may build muscle in your chest area. This includes planks and potentially handstands and even upward facing dog. Building muscle in the chest area will only enhance your breast size.
