Lots of caveats here... for sure, certain folks should never attempt sarvangasana or shirshasana... good to see exactly why. I actually have a friend who was lead into an extreme cervical extension in a yoga class, and (she thinks) damaged the carotid artery (she's a nurse). She thought this because subsequent to the class she suffered a mild stroke!!
