Did you know you could increase your height with yoga?
What's the story
If you are looking forward to adding a few centimeters to your height without any medical procedure, try yoga.
Yoga offers a multitude of benefits, one of which is also appearing taller when practiced regularly.
It gives a gentle nudge to the growth hormone when you indulge in some specific asanas.
Here are five yoga poses that you can try to increase your height.
Mountain pose
Tadasana
Stand straight on your feet, keeping your shoulders and neck aligned and straight.
As you inhale, lift both your arms up in the air and parallel to each other.
Slowly lift up your heels and then stand on your toes. Stretch your body as much as possible and keep your legs and arms straight.
Repeat this pose a few times.
Camel pose
Ustrasana
Kneel on the ground with your legs stretched back. Make sure your soles face the ceiling.
Place both your hands on your hips and take a deep breath in.
Bend backward to make an arch, place your palms on your feet for support, and let your head hang back.
Ensure your hands and neck are straight.
Hold this pose for about 10 seconds.
West stretching pose
Paschimottanasana
Sit on your yoga mat and stretch your legs outward as much as possible.
As you exhale, bend forward and try to hold your toes with your hands. If not, you can hold your ankles.
Now keep your back straight and try to rest your face on your knees.
While practicing this pose, do not bend your knees, and breathe normally.
Tree pose
Vrikshasana
Stand with your feet together. Place your hands at the side and breathe normally.

Balancing, raise your arms over your head and join them. Ensure your elbows don't bend.
Hold the pose for a few seconds.
Bow pose
