Like gained 0.5-1 inch as some myths suggest, by improving the spine?

Have gained height, but as do a lot of stretching and become more aware, have noticed posture improved, making me appear taller lol

Half an inch, much the same as you. Went for annual health check at work and they advised me of this so know I'm not making it up lol

Ah that's interesting to know :). I actually haven't experienced any height increase as haven't done yoga but heard it was 0.5-1 inch :)

Me too - when I began yoga classes as an adult in the early 1980's I was 5'5 and 1/2" tall. By 1997 ( when my height was measured at GP ) I was 5'6" having practised weekly between times.
