My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, soft tissue.
I want to write some thoughts on this bra before giving my full review after wearing it for exercise. First of all, this bra is extremely comfortable! It pretty much feels like I have nothing on. Both the band and the straps have some very soft padding and the material of the bra itself is very soft.
The straps are adjustable with a hook and eye closure and can be worn crossed or regularly. The ends on the straps sort of have this overhang on them which looks kinda funky, but hasn’t ... really bothered me. The band is okay on the loosest hook, but I might try the second set of hooks and play with the strap height some more before putting it to the test.
The cups are very wide, way to wide for me, but I think with my soft tissue it feels okay. The underwires feel comfy, I can’t even tell they’re there to be honest. The gore doesn’t really tack at the very top, but it comes up very high so that might be why.
This bra was a steal in price so I thought I would give it a go seeing as the sports bras I have are all 2 cup sizes too small. I don't love the white color, but it was all I could find.
When I jump there’s still some jiggle, but it’s almost all contained by the cup. I wonder if I got a smaller cup I would feel even more contained.
Editing to add some updates: I've know used this bra three times, twice for kickboxing, and once for yoga. Definitely a win bra for yoga class. Breasts stay put in downward dog, forward folds, etc. Plus, it is really comfy in the regular bra strap style so it's really a plus for low impact workout. I can also see wearing this bra for cycling in the gym and lifting weights. Walking is also okay, my boobs stay pretty contained, slight bouncing.
For high impact activities like running and kickboxing, this bra is not enough. I love that it comes up very high on my chest and I thought it would contain me more, but I still get more bouncing and jiggling than I'd like to have in a bra. I tried this bra for kickboxing in two ways, both the regular straps and crossed, but it didn't really make a noticeable difference in the hold.
One negative: this is a thick bra and very warm! It got absolutely drenched and very sweaty! I only noticed at the end of my workouts, but I think when the weather gets really warm, it might be uncomfortable.
Overall, this is a great bra, it does stay put and I didn't get any chaffing. I do prefer to wear it in the regular strap position because it can cut in a bit under my arms.

I hate to be labeled as a nit-picker, but Is this supposed to be Power *Yoga* bra? You've entered *Yogi* bra (would that be Yogi Bear or Yogi Berra?). :)
