Namaskar!! I have seen people saying that I wish I was tall enough, I want to have a good height, what if I was slightly taller than what I am now, these are common thoughts that come to mind specially in teenagers because good height gives you confident personality and good stature, so how to increase our height, so let me walk you through some. Very interesting set of asanas which can help you get taller.
These asanas will not only help you to increase your height but will also correct your posture and body alignment. Number one Talasana. So understand how to do.
Keep one foot distance between both your feet. Both legs should be parallel to each other. Your hands on the side.
Stand straight. Gently raise slowly slowly the heels up. Parallel to that lift both the hands from front above the head.
Keep a stretched posture. Stay there for 30 seconds and then rolling your hands backwards, turning them, bring them down. Repeat this three times.
This is a full body stretch asana. This will give a good stretch to your muscles and elongate, straighten up the spinal cord. It also corrects the binaural deformities of your spine. It also stimulates the growth hormones which is responsible for your height. So this is an excellent asana for young adults in their puberty growth spurts.
Second Bhujangasana. Lie down on your stomach. Keep your palms in line with your chest.
Keep the legs straight and now lift the head, neck and chest up. Hold it for 15 seconds and then gently come back. to the starting position. While lifting your head up, you should breathe in completely and while coming back, you breathe out completely. This backward bending asana will reduce and tone the back and stomach muscles.
This reduces the strain on the spine, giving a good stature to the body, making you look taller and lean. 3 PASCHIMMUTTANASANA Sit on the mat with legs stretched out. Lift your hands up, bend forward and try to touch your toes, hold the position for 30 seconds to 1 minute and now slowly come back, repeat it 3 times, this pose gives a good stretch to your hamstring and spine, it releases the strain in between the vertebrae, thus improving the height. Fourth, Parvatasana, sit in Sukhasana and focus at the point in front of you, now, place your palms beside your body, palms facing upwards, now inhale and bring your both arms in Namaste above your head and stretch yourself upwards, hold it for 30 seconds and come back slowly to the starting position. Those who can't sit in meditative pose, they should do with half Padmasana pose, so stretch your legs, hold your right leg and bring it to the left thigh and fold the other leg.
in this position do the Parvatasana and after doing one round of Parvatasana then change the legs change the left leg and bring it to the right thigh so this is how you are supposed to do both ways and do Parvatasana where you are stretching your spine up repeat this for three times this is one of the most effective asana to gain good height this particular asana stimulates pituitary glands. a gland responsible for the secretion of our growth hormone. Fifth, Surya Namaskar.
Surya Namaskar is a set of asanas which stimulates and activates the muscles from head to toe. It elongates your spine, reduces excess fat, tones the muscles and stimulates different hormones of our body. This should never be skipped from your routine. The sequence of postures which we are using in Surya Navaskar are Posture 1 Siddh Pratnasana Standing Prayer Pose Posture 2 Hast Uttanasana Raised Arm Pose Posture 3 Hastapadasana Hand to Leg Posture Posture 4 Ashwasanchalanasana Equestrian Posture Posture 5 Adhomukhsvanasana Downward Dog Pose Posture 6 Ashtabasana Tang Namaskar Knee Chest Chin Pose Posture 7 Urdhva Mukh Svanasana Upward Dog Posture Posture 8 Adho Mukh Svanasana Downward Dog Posture Posture 9 Ashwa Sanchalan Asana Equestrian Posture Posture 10 Hastapadasana Hand to Leg Posture Posture 11 Talasana Palm Tree Pose And posture 12, sit prathamasa, that is standing prayer pose.
Practice these asanas regularly and you will find considerable change in your height. All the asanas which I have spoken have multiple benefits. It takes care of your growth spurts.
It slows down the degeneration of bones. It releases muscle stress. It releases tension in spine. It brings strength to muscles.
Anyway, those who desire for height growth, keep this in mind that you accept yourself and love yourself as you are. Height and weight are just external, which you can manage with right exercise and right lifestyle. Do not let your mind get affected because of your shorter height from weight loss to height gain. Yoga asanas are for all. Keep practicing these asanas, bring a right attitude along with the asanas and grow well.
