I have heard from multiple sources that yoga and hot yoga can help one gain an inch or two by straightening and correcting the spine. Has this happened to anyone? Thanks!

I have heard this too but not sure where and if it was from a credible source!

Hoping it is the case as I have 3 bulging disks in my lower back and also not the greatest posture in my neck/shoulders. Not sure if these things are responsible but I’ve definitely lost a couple of centimetres from my 5’4″ and a half that I have always said was my height.

Hi Rohan and Kerrin

I can attest that it is possible for some to actually become slightly taller. The brightest example in my memory is of a woman in her late 50s who went to class every day for several months and her improved more erect posture had her gain over 1/2 inch in height. This was measured by her physician. I am speaking of a friend/student who also attended my teacher training program so it’s not just a ‘he said she said’ story!

I hope that is suitably inspiring to you!

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
