Will yoga grow taller in adulthood?


The first time I heard that I will grow taller when practicing yoga. It was in a yoga teaching and training class. As a modern person who is not too old, is more rational and has received a little education, I don`t believe this statement in my heart. Even if you don`t take it seriously.

At the end of last year, my friend said that I had gained weight. I went to the supermarket to weigh my height and weight. As a result, my height ranged from 163 to 165. Then I remembered what the teacher said in the teaching and training class.

Later, I studied anatomy and found that it is possible to increase my height as an adult, and it makes sense in theory.

We all know that after the bones are formed, a person's height is fixed and will not grow taller. But as you get older, your height will shorten. Everyone knows this. There are many examples of this. Of course, it is not that the bones themselves become shorter, but the gap between the joints becomes smaller. In particular, the intervertebral disc is elastic, and it becomes thinner when compressed, and it becomes thinner when it loses water, so on the whole, people are shorter. Of course, the bone deformation of the hunchback is not the scope of discussion.

Conversely think about it, since the joint gap will become smaller, the intervertebral disc will become thinner if compressed, and will become thinner if it loses water. So does it mean that the gap between the joints may also become larger, and the intervertebral disc may also become thicker, resulting in a taller body?

Let's look at yoga again. Although yoga is not stretching, yoga has many stretching actions. And the practice of yoga pays much attention to the extension of the spine. Almost all yoga asanas are required to be completed on the basis of the extension of the spine, focusing on creating space for the joints during the practice. According to the old Chinese saying, the iron pestle can still be ground into a needle. From this point of view, it is entirely possible to practice heights of a few centimeters over many years.

Then someone may ask me, what kind of actions can make adults grow taller?

As I said earlier, almost all yoga movements are done on the basis of spine extension, and will try to increase the space of the joints, so as long as you keep practicing yoga, it is possible to grow taller, and there is no specific yoga movement. The effect is that it can grow taller.


There is another question, I think it is necessary to discuss it. I grow taller because of yoga. When you stop practicing, I think it is possible to return to your original height.

Because this height is an increase in space, rather than a change in the length of the bone itself, it is possible to retract. So I hope everyone can deal with this issue rationally.
