Unfortunately, yoga cannot increase your height. At 20 years old, you are probably as tall as you will get. However, you may wish to try to relax tension and stress from your spine, which may give you an additional centimeter to your overall height. Asanas for your spine can help in this manner. Asanas for your spine include spinal twists, bridge pose and threading the needle pose.In addition, when you stand in an upright yoga pose, imagine yourself being pulled up by a string attached to the top of your head.  Tilt your head slightly downwards and gently push your head up to the ceiling, straightening your back with your feet firmly planted on the ground.  All of these poses will help unlock tension in your spine.As stated, it MAY give you an added centimeter to your overall height. However, the benefits of releasing tension, not just in your back, but also all over your body, may mean that you stand taller.This may also add a centimeter or two to your overall height.  Additionally, you will receive the regular benefits of decreased stress, increased strength, energy and happiness from daily yoga practice.
