I'm a Yoga Teacher With a 42G Bust — These Are My Go-To Low-Impact Sports Bras

I own seven of Girlfriend Collective's Tommy Cropped Bra ($42) in several colors. This is one of my go-to bras for low-impact workouts because it offers support that can take a little bounce. So I reach for this for all my low-impact workouts, from Vinyasa yoga to dance class. I wear an XXL.

I own Knix's Longevity Bra ($50) in an XXL and I thoroughly enjoy wearing this alone or under cropped sweaters when I'm teaching yoga classes.

The Superhold Sports Bra ($65) is another bra that is low impact, but it can handle a little bounce without having my chest fly into my face. I own the 2XL size.

When I first saw the Women's Medium Support Seamless Bra — All in Motion ($20) on the shelf at Target, I immediately thought, "That won't be able to support me," yet the more I looked at it, the more I wanted to try it.

I now own two pairs in an XXL, and they both hold my chest without hurting my shoulders. I also like wearing this one with shackets in the warmer months so I don't have to make a big fuss when changing for my low-impact workouts.

The Refine Bra ($55) from Balance Athletica is a great top for teaching in because it doubles as a bra (shelf bra inside) and a top. I wear an XXXL. Bonus: when you're not working out, it makes for a great crop top with a pair of high-waisted jeans.

Before the Tommy Bra (slide one) was released, I owned the Paloma Racerback Bra ($42) from Girlfriend Collective in every color they made in the size XXL — no, that is not an exaggeration. The long-line design of this bra allows for my chest to feel both supported and fully covered. It's also the bra I'm wearing in the main image of this post!

Truly a classic in the activewear world, Athleta's Conscious Crop D-DD+ ($64) is on this list because it is a bra I find myself reaching for when I know I have to work out in the morning, teach yoga in the evening, and then go out with friends after class. It is a great full coverage crop top (with a shelf bra) that I own in a 1X.

Nike's Dri-Fit Swoosh Icon Clash ($35) is one of the first types of sports bras I've ever owned. A quintessential full-coverage style, the sweat-wicking fabric makes this a great bra for hot yoga classes. I'd wear a 2X.

While the silhouette of the Shefit Low Impact Sports Bra ($65) is similar to it's high-impact counterpart, this version is definitely much softer. It had adjustable straps to still secure my chest for when I want to practice my headstands. I wear the size 4Luxe.

The soft full-coverage fabric on Carbon38's T Back Bra in Diamond Compression ($78) combined with the "T Back" is what makes me love this bra so much. The T shape in the back takes the pressure off of my shoulders, which is the main reason why it made the list. I wear an XXL.

The Flare Bra ($50) from Balance Athletica is the bra that's on my wish list. I already own the coordinating shorts. What draws me to this bra is the sizing. This bra is made for A-C cups and D+. Knowing the stretchiness of this fabric, I'm sure it would support my chest as well. I'd probably wear a XXXL.
