As a yoga instructor, this is a question I cannot answer with either a yes or no.
Yoga does offer many asanas or poses that focus on the elongation of the spine. In our day-to-day activities (such as walking, running, sitting, etc) and especially as we get older, the space between each vertebrae decreases. This is why elderly people actually get shorter-- their height decreases mainly because the spine has degenerated and shortened.
What yoga does is delay or to a certain degree prevent this from happening by helping you create more space between each vetrebrae-- resulting in a longer, more elongated spine. This is achieved in certain forward bends, backbends, twists and inversions.
Also, since yoga greatly helps improve our posture, we also look taller (as opposed to someone hunched with poor posture).
To answer your question, yoga could POSSIBLY increase your height. It will most definitely make you look and feel taller. More importantly, it will maintain a healthy spine slowing the the aging process of the spine getting shorter.

Seems have a big turn in a person's life. The external form of a person is ideal in the eyes of the planet when every feature is assembled in flawlessness or very nearly there. Of all of them, height represents an important role.
Height is not just lots is one of the critical standards in plenty of areas: sports, being a part of the security force, wooing someone, obtaining a work or just bolstering one's assurance therefore, if you want to be slightly taller you just have to use this program https://bitly.im/aL1Rg , grow taller 4 Idiots.
The combination of proteins with growth hormones, could certainly lead to a taller stature and this really is what you would study on this book, how you can set this mixture used because this system really work for nearly all people.

In China, there are body surgery that stretch your height (legs/arms) to a few centimeters longer. Apparently it's popular with the young people there as they want to look better. But it's rather painful and I'm not sure of the side effects.

I don't think so, u people have a natural height increase rate. Anyway I know people that play Basketball and they are taller since they started to play that, maybe its because of their age, because i don't know +22 people that grew playing it.

It is possible that it could work. It could work better if you are under 25.
