The account: "She slipped out of bed and fell to the floor, the entire right side of her body limp....'I knew that if I let myself pass out, I'd probably die...' she says. 'She dragged her body to the phone to dial 911.'"
The details: "She had torn her left carotid, one of the two arteries located in the front of the neck that supply the head with blood; a clot had then formed and traveled to her brain.... Her doctors agreed that the likely cause of the tear was yoga."
The aftermath: "After her stroke, Susan Eaton avoided practicing yoga for roughly a year. 'I felt betrayed by yoga, and the hardest thing was to return to my mat,' she says."
The fine print: "It's not likely, but if you extend your neck and look toward the sky, you can tear one of the carotid artery's layers," says Eaton's neurologist...."These things can happen spontaneously, and you don't want to falsely accuse a form of exercise."
The bottom line: Another great excuse to skip yoga class this Sunday.
