Grow Taller With Yoga Exercises

One of the best ways to balance our minds and bodies is through the practice of Yoga. This discipline includes a wide range of exercises that aim to help you mentally and physically, and it is spreading as a practice very quickly all over the world.

This article intends to review some of the most interesting exercises designed to stretch your body and thus increase your height or help boosting the growing process.

Rotate the Pelvis

Sit down, with your head high and relaxed in easy pose. Place the hands on the knees, no need to adopt a specific pose, just relax and do it your way. Deeply roll the pelvis around in a grinding motion. Relax into the movement. Make it a moving meditation.

Do 26 rotations or 1-2 minutes in each direction.
Among the main benefits of this practice, the pelvis rotation helps to open up the energy in the lower spine, massages the internal organs and aids in digestion.

Spinal Flex On Heels

Sit on the heels, as comfortably as possible. Place your hands flat on the thighs, it doesn't matter if it hurts a little, as long as you can take it. Feel your body as you do it. Continue spinal flex as below with a easy breath. Do this for a couple of minutes.

This exercise works on the mid spine, helping to stretch it out and distress the zone.

Side Twists

Sit down again on the heels. Place the hands on the shoulders, fingers in front and thumbs in back. Inhale, twist to the left. Exhale, twist to the right. Twist your head to each side as well. Gradually feel an increased rotation in your spine. Keep elbows parallel to the ground, allowing the arms to swing freely with the body.

Do this for two or three minutes, or make it a series of 24.

This exercise opens up the heart center and stimulates the upper spine. (Refer to the picture below)

Side Bends

Sit down again, hands behind neck in Venus Lock (fingers interlaced) and bend straight sideways at the waist, aiming the elbow toward the floor beside the hip. Inhale as you bend left, exhale right. Bend sideways only. This exercise can be done standing.

Couple of minutes or 23 times.

Side bends stimulate the liver and colon and increase spinal flexibility.

Shoulder Shrugs

Still on the heels or in easy pose, shrug both shoulders up on the inhale and down on the exhale. Repeat in the same sequence as indicated above.

This exercise loosens up the tension in the shoulders and relaxes upper back.

There are plenty of other yoga exercises to pick out from, so you can stay in shape, help your body to gain height, and allow your mind to be.
