Height increasing techniques 

Yes as you are still 16 it is possible to increase your height with some yoga exercises when done on regular basis. Try the following yoga asana to increase height –

  • Ardha uttanasana or half standing forward bend – touch your ankles and stand straight. Breathe in, bend from the waist slowly and place your hands on the ground (you can also touch your ankles if possible). Bend your head slowly towards your knees. Hold in this pose for 30 seconds and breathe normally. Now slowly exhale and return back to normal standing position.
  • Tadasana – stand on the floor with your feet together evenly balanced and hands on the sides of each thigh. Squeeze your thigh, pull up your knee caps and tuck your tail bone. Inhale and slowly stretch your hands upwards from the waist to the head. You can feel your spine become straight and long. Hold for 30 seconds and breathe normally. Exhale and relax, drop shoulders down, hands down slowly and relax your knees and thighs.
  • You can also try adho mukha svanasana, vriksasana, adho mukha svanasana, salabhasana, balasana, and garudasana.
  • Along with practicing these poses daily eat a balanced meal high in proteins and calcium daily.
