You seem to have been misinformed as human metabolism can not be cheated and there is no method that can safely promise to increase your height. In fact at your age this would be almost impossible, and anyone or any product that claims otherwise is misleading you. However, we can suggest a Yoga routine consisting of a set of practices that will definitely help enhance your overall health. If among the lucky few, you may also grow taller as these asanas do help with growth, but these effects are more visible in younger practitioners.

This Yoga package includes a series of Yogasanas (physical postures), Pranayamas (breathing exercises), Kriyas (cleansing techniques) as well as a Yoga diet. It is just possible that your condition is hereditary. For a start, you should do plenty of limbering up exercises, 10 to 15 rounds of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) and all of the Yogasanas (postures) in these positions, with lots of emphasis on the ones italicized. As an added measure, we suggest you take up swimming and cycling (high seat, low pedals) as these will help add to your muscular stretch.
