I am only 5’2” and always looking for ways to improve my height. A recent study done in Philadelphia has found a potential way to do that. They studied 24 women over 65 years of age and enrolled them in a nine-week yoga program. They did an hour and a half of yoga twice a week. After the women completed the program, they were more stable on their feet, walked faster, felt more confident and…..they gained an average of a centimeter of height!

I have taken many yoga classes and have to admit, there are other forms of exercise I prefer. However, if yoga can improve my health and become taller at the same time, I might reconsider!
