Height increasing methods 

Below are some yoga exercises that will help you to increaser height, if you have not already reached adulthood.

  • Standstill like in the pose of “attention”. As you do so, take a deep breath through the nose and stretch out the arms. Slowly lift the arms to the shoulders. As you continue to stretch, maintain straight arms without bending them. Slowly stretch out the arms behind the shoulders in a backward manner as far as you can stretch them without straining yourself or feeling any pain. Take a deep breath again and slowly release your breath after five counts beginning anew the previous position.
  • In the second posture, stand upright with the arms stretched out at right angles to the body. Raise the arms in a vertical manner. A point to note - as you raise the arms do not exhale at the moment, but balance on the toes. The heels must be lifted as far as possible. Now exhale as slowly as possible as you slowly resume the former position.
  • Hold out your arms ahead of you till you reach the shoulder level. Breathe in slowly and expand your lungs to one-third of the lung volume. After a count of seven raise the arms above your head. Slowly exhale and resume the former position.
