College student Alexa Terrazas fell 80 feet off her apartment balcony.

College student Alexa Terrazas, 23, survived a 80-foot fall last Saturday afternoon after practicing yoga on her sixth-floor apartment's balcony in northeastern Mexico. She was practicing a risky yoga pose and lost her balance.

Alexa often did yoga, using the railing on her balcony for poses. Neighbors recall seeing her practice poses on the railing, including hanging upside down over the edge (as pictured).

Alexa landed on the pavement below

her balcony and suffered multiple fractures in her legs, arms, hip, and head, EL Imparcial reported. Paramedics treated her on the scene and rushed her to the Zambrano Hellion Medical Center, according to El Sol de Mexico. Alexa then underwent 11 hours of surgeries, and she is currently in critical condition.

The Nuevo León Attorney General’s Office confirmed that Alexa's fall was an accident. There is no sign of damage on the rail or the balcony.

Though a friend of Alexa's tweeted that she no longer needs blood donations, Alexa will require additional surgery. Doctors at the medical center said her ankles and knees will need to be reconstructed before she can walk again. Portions of her face will also need to be rebuilt in surgery. It may take three years for her to be able to walk again, per the New York Post.

Alexa is studying nutrition at the Monterrey Institute of Technology, El Sol de Mexicosaid. Family and friends gathered at Guadalupe Shrine to pray for Alexa.
