U.S. woman back on mat again after yoga-induced stroke

40-year-old Rebecca Leigh, who suffered a massive stroke caused by yoga, has bravely come back to her mat just one month later.

Rebecca was performing a yogic headstand when she ruptured a major blood vessel in her neck.

Just two hours before the life-altering injury, super-fit Rebecca had filmed an advanced sequence for her 26,000 social media fans.

Astonishingly, just one month after the devastating episode, Rebecca was back on her mat again and she still practices these ancient exercises for an hour every day.

Rebecca is now telling her story to raise awareness of yoga-induced strokes, so that other people may recognize the symptoms and seek medical help in a timely fashion.
