The latest headline: Woman suffers massive stroke thanks to yoga Don’t all freak out at once. The headline is, well, a bit much, but this is worth a read. Strokes are no joke, and knowing symptoms/signs is extremely important and potentially life-saving. That said, extreme poses are no joke, either. Please take care of yourself. [...]
