Hi everybody…first p all,I would like to express my sincere gratefulness towards this forum, administrative; for giving such a nice n sincere service.Thanks!

Please help me out tru Yoga, I have a sweet girl friend,whom I love very much.
She is of 20,height of 5… mine is 6,1’. Im of army cadre. The height difference is a major factor between us now! Is it possible to gain height tru Yoga??

Please do suggest some useful n effective Yoga so that she can be benefited remarkably.

jonathen – welcome to the forums! I’m glad you found us.
I’ve heard more stories about people becoming accepting of their bodies through yoga than I have heard people changing things like height through yoga. So, while I have reservations about the idea that your girlfriend will gain height, I have fewer reservations about the idea that it will become less of a ‘factor’.

hi techne…thakns for ur kind responce…i jus heard it from some yoga practitioner,tat doing some stretching yoga of particular kind will lead to height gain… if so,please explain on it…

That’s outside of my experience. I have a 3rd hand story about someone with MS whose height changed (sometimes hourly) depending on the condition of her muscles, keeping them long and loose helped her stand with all her height.
That’s all I got.

Namaste,
I don’t have first hand experience with it but
Swami Ramdev has some exercises that he promises
will do just that. They can be found in his DVD
from divyayoga dot com.
Make sure you buy the right one.

I believe that DVD is on youtube as well

Namaskar

Hi Jonathen,

I think what I am about to offer you might not be what you are looking for, but here goes. I am busy with yoga now for about 12 years, when I started yoga 12 years I ago I was 1.82m long. Yesterday I had to do a medical for some insurance policy and one of the questions was height. It was 1.82m. I do yoga 3-4 times a week for the last 8 years and I really can’t see how it will increase height. It might with a few millimeters, but not the increase you and your girlfriend might seek to overcome that difference you mention in your first post.

I would rather follow the advice of Techne here and try to overcome this issue in your heart and mind. Short and tall, is only a perception and all perceptions can be changed.
