for starting yoga! I took it for awhile...and I really need to get back to it. Anyway, what I would advise is: making sure you have shoes you can easily slip out of, (I wore black leggings from Danskin *sp* - they make clothes for dancers) and a fitted black tank top (so the instructor could easily see if I was in the correct position. Plus, it's comfortable). Also, I would get your own yoga mat (the thicker the better) and a big tote to carry your stuff in. Also, bring a bottle of water with you. (Oh, and what I wore on top, before and after class...was a long crocheted sweater mini dress in cream or another color...so if I went out later, for bit with the girls, I would be kinda of covered. And that's about it! I hope you love it!
