Yoga cannot help you grow. Most people have reached their ultimate height by age 18 or 19. If you are younger than that, you may grow on your own over the next few years. Try looking at relatives of yours to see what your final height may be. However,if you are older than 20, chances are you will not gain any more height. Yoga may reduce stress in your body and if you focus on your spine, you may gain an additional centimeter or two through asanas that release tension in your back. If this interests you, try doing asanas that focus on your spine, such as spinal twists,bridge poses and the thread the needle pose. If you are unfamiliar with the bridge pose, make sure you learn from a professional first. If you find your back tight or too tense, while entering a bridge pose, do not push yourself, as you will just end up hurting yourself. Hold the bridge pose for about 30 seconds if you are able and repeat up to four times in a yoga session.  

Also, while doing other standing poses, such as tree pose and prayer pose,try to imagine that you have a string attached to the top of your head and you are being pulled up to the ceiling. This will make you focus on standing taller and help release any stress in your back.
