Yoga Makes You Taller!

By , About.com Guide   July 20, 2010

Follow me on:

Ok, so yoga won't actually make you grow, but it can noticeably improve your posture, making you look taller, thinner, and more confident. Many postural problems are caused by the hours spent each day hunched over a computer terminal at work or driving a car. These yoga poses can help counteract your tendency to slouch as well as increase body awareness, improving your posture.

I’m proud to say that a few years ago I was 5′5″ and 3/4 inch and am now 5′6″ and 1/2 inch – THANKS to Bikram and other yoga practices!
