Yogacharya
Surakshit Goswami gives you asanaa to increase your height. These asanas however
work best for those under 20 years.
Tanasana
Lie on your back. Bring your hands towards your chest,
fingers interlocked. Now raise your hands while inhaling and stretch them
straight behind your head. Keep your legs straight, toes stretched. Inhale and
stretch the hands and legs in opposite directions. Feel the stretch in your
entire body. Hold the posture as long as you can. Your body should be stable.
Return to original position while exhaling. Repeat this asana four times.
Benefits:
It strengthens all the nerves, veins and muscles of hands, back and legs.
It lessens backache and sciatica pain.
Matsyasana
Lie on your back and form the padmasana. Keep your knees on the
ground. Raise your head and bend the neck back, as much as you can. Place the
centre of your head on the ground, arching your chest. Raise the back and chest
while the knees continue to touch the floor. Now hold the toes of both feet
with the corresponding hand and rest elbows on the ground, as in picture. Take
a deep breath and hold the asana as long as you can, then return to original
position. Let go the padmasana and relax in shavasana.
Benefits:
This asana also makes the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal
glands healthy.
Padhastasana
Stand erect, inhale and raise your hands. Arms must be straight,
touching your ears. While exhaling, bend forward from the waist and try to
place both palms on the floor beside your feet. Try to touch your forehead on
your knees, without bending the knees (as in picture). Breathe normally. Hold
the posture as long as you can, then return to original position.
Benefits:
It also strengthens the back, abdomen and leg muscles and enhances
spinal flexibility.
