Can't change nature: Height is determined by growth centers in your bones.In men, these usually close at 16-18.Once they close you cannot grow taller. A single x-ray of your wrist/hand could verify the closure of your growth centers.There are no exercises, stretches, yoga or meds to change what nature does to you.
