How Downward Dog Helps You Grow Taller

This dynamic flow combines two powerful spinal stretches: Downward Dog decompresses your entire spine while stretching your hamstrings and calves. The inverted position uses gravity to create traction on your spine, helping to separate vertebrae and rehydrate discs. This combination addresses both spinal compression and postural issues, making it highly effective for height optimization.
