A runner for 30 years, she was originally drawn to yoga because she wanted greater flexibility. After she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, Ms. Gagnier discovered the many other benefits of yoga. Since then, she has used yoga to strengthen her immune system, reduce stress and manage the side effects of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation. Ms. Gagnier teaches Repose Yoga classes at Focus Fitness in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, where women affected by breast cancer can come together to renew and restore the body, mind and spirit, both during and after cancer.
