About a year after moving into her storefront off East 15th Street, Yoga Tree owner Toni Farris will welcome another group of students interested in becoming yoga teachers in April.

With a staff of about 10 trainers, Yoga Tree offers yoga and tai-chi classes, a Chinese martial art also used as a slower meditative exercise.

The studio began offering a special class for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder in January. Cancer survivors and patients can also attend a customized yoga class at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. Farris was recently elected to the Historic Downtown Plano Association board.
