Peace Yoga
at Home
Virtual yoga classes and private sessions
Before I found yoga, I was on a mission to get stuff done, check accomplishments off the list, and move on. I rarely noticed what was going on around me. I was most definitely not present because I was constantly preparing for the future. I had daily anxiety, frequent tension headaches, and a constant nagging worry-pit in my stomach.
When I took my first yoga class, I experienced a feeling of calm and peaceful stillness that literally changed my life.
Hello! I’m Heather Gagnon, ERYT, M.Ed., and I’ve been sharing yoga with our community since 2007. Being present, focused, and mindful is a daily practice, but yoga helps me balance the adventures of my life. I’d love to help you find peace within yourself!
Peace Yoga at Home will help you experience the benefits of yoga. The practice of yoga provides an opportunity to feel grounded, focused, and peaceful while building strength and flexibility. You will practice exploring the present moment by observing your breath, feeling sensations in the body, and noticing your thoughts in each yoga pose.
Peace Yoga at Home classes are designed to empower each yogi… YOU choose the intensity while breathing, moving, and noticing.

The Easiest Solution to Slow Down Your Life
How many unimportant things do you cram into your day? Do you need to know what your highschool classmate ate for dinner last night?

Feel Like You’re Not Good Enough? Change Your Mindset Now with These 5 Tips
If you’ve ever wondered whether or not you’re doing enough, achieving enough, successful enough, thin enough, sleeping enough, or good enough… you are NOT alone!
The phrase “good enough” implies that there is a standard we need to meet. But what is that standard? Who sets it, and who enforces it? Who decides that when I weigh xx pounds, I’ll be thin enough? Who will tell me when there is enough money in my bank account? Will someone show up at my house to let me know that the meal I prepared for my family was healthy and delicious enough? Will I receive a gold star when I can finally do a handstand in the middle of the room? Of course not. None of these things are true, yet we seem to spend a lot of time judging ourselves and then feeling inferior…

Testimonials
Yoga classes are for every BODY.
Thank you so much, Heather, for introducing me to yoga at HDS years ago when you so generously donated your time and talents to teach us and share your love of yoga. Your ability to teach such an inexperienced group with such joy and enthusiasm, as well as your total patience made every class so special and memorable. The rest is history! I have been with you and Peace Yoga ever since! The fantastic life-changing tools that you have given me are used with gratitude, and the wonderful benefits – physical and emotional, have seen me through obstacles with strength and optimism, as well as turning normal days into truly fabulous ones.
When things began shutting down in 2020, one of my biggest worries was not having access to yoga classes. But somehow, in a matter of days, you figured out (almost seamlessly) how to bring yoga to people virtually. Those virtual classes are what kept me feeling connected to others and what helped me learn to release my need for control in a quickly changing world.
I truly love the online classes, as well as the library that I pull from multiple times during the week. Heather has helped me with techniques and motivation to make it through some difficult physical and mental journeys. I always knew I could turn to Peace Yoga and regroup.
