NORTON — It’s that time of year again, when well-meaning people ask whether you’ve made a New Year’s resolution. Much as I hate to admit it, the clichéd idea of getting back to the gym after a whirlwind of celebrating usually makes my list.

The warm glow of family hearths fades quickly under those fluorescent lights, so this year, I’m thinking about yoga. The stretching and breathing go easy on the spirit while challenging the body as much or as little as you need.
