Hello
Thanks for posting
I have studied your case carefully, Yoga not only improves the physical well being and posture but it also improves spiritual health. We as human being stop growing in height after the age of 18 years, so it is not possible after that.
You may do yoga exercises under guidance to make it safer at your age.
Hope this helps and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
