This is a beginner’s Yoga class, students should wear comfortable clothes, barefoot ( best option) or socks with grips. A Yoga mat is recommended with non slip flooring. Students should practice this class in an area clear of toys, furniture or objects, with room to move freely around the mat.
Don’t forget to have a bottle of water to keep hydrated. 
It will be helpful for me if you use the biggest screen you have and place it high not on the floor and with an angle so I will be able to see what the Yogis are doing.
