A Trojan native and former city school librarian, Borton opened Yellow Tree Yoga, 103 East Main Street, a few years ago. She was motivated to help area residents find an outlet for all the stress life brings each day.
Yoga is a holistic system that not only includes physical stress release but also helps a person get to an understanding of the causes and effects of that stress. Borton shared that yoga’s foundation is in deliberate breathing, and she teaches 30 different breathing exercises in the schools to teachers, staff and students. In addition to a focus of breathing, it is important to understand how movement, mindset and breathing patterns all contribute to a calmer approach to stressful events, the holidays and day-to-day life experiences. She noted that proper posture, relaxed shoulders, deeper breathing, and longer exhales all help in bringing a sense of calm to oneself. Her studio offers classes six days a week for all levels of yoga practitioners.
