Height increasing technique in yoga 

A person's height stops increasing once he/she reaches adulthood. As you are already 22 years old increasing your height significantly through yoga may not be possible because at your age the bones are probably grown to its fullest. But certain poses can definitely help you to correct your posture which can make you look taller. Try the following yoga pose like balasana, vriksasana, tadasana, salabhasana, adho mukha svanasana, mukha svanasana and adho garudasana.

  • Balasana or child's pose – sit on the ground on a yoga mat. Fold your legs at knees and place them below your hips with heels toughing the hips and toes facing the floor. Lower your forehead on the floor by bending your head and trunk at waist. See to it that you don't raise your buttocks and keep them close towards the heels as far as possible. You can rest your forehead in your arms or can simply place your arms alongside the body with palms facing upwards. Breathe slowly but deeply. While inhaling press your belly against your thighs.
  • Salabhasana or locust pose – lie flat on a yoga mat on your stomach. Place your chin on ground and arms under the thighs. Now form a curved shape by lifting your legs and back from the ground, breathe deeply and hold for 20 seconds.
