Only in the emergency department can yoga save a patient’s life. People snicker when I begin my story this way but it’s true. Once, a fifty year old African American woman was brought into our ED with one hour of facial droop and weakness. We were immediately concerned for a stroke, and the neurology team agreed. Imaging ruled out a hemorrhage, and neurology cleared us to use thrombolytics, but the patient’s blood pressure was a staggering 220/120. After maximum dose nicardipine therapy, her pressures still hovered above the threshold for tPA. Time ticked away and we grew anxious as the window for thrombolysis narrowed. I looked across to the patient’s room and noticed several of her family members bawling at the top of their lungs. “That’s not helping,” I thought. So I walked over to the howling family members and gently, diplomatically ushered them to the waiting area. Then I approached the patient and noticed how panicked she appeared. I asked her to follow along with me, and together we ran through a deep breathing exercise I learned in yoga class. Five minutes later, I rechecked her pressures and they had finally fallen below the threshold. The patient went on to receive her tPA and eventually left the hospital with mild residual deficits. Stories like this are the reason emergency medicine motivates and excites me: the patients’ acuity allows us to make an immediate
Before landing myself in Yoga Sunné’s studio in Cottonwood Heights, I had scheduled myself for several different yoga studios across the valley. I never went to any of them, because I scheduled classes titled “rejuvenating” or “relaxing” in the morning and then promptly slept through all of them. I found that Yoga Sunné offered a free class at night, and that is how I found out that 90 minutes of hot power yoga is not for me.
