Wear non-restrictive, work out type clothing such as shorts, bike shorts or footless tights & a t-shirt. Something that doesn't restrict your movements while stretching.
This depends on how much you would like to get out of your yoga practice. Like everything in life the more you put into it the more you get out of it. I encourage a regular once a week attendance initially for beginners. To get serious results from your yoga practice one needs to attend a minimum of twice a week.
Yoga develops strength, flexibility and co-ordination. It reduces stress, teaches relaxation and establishes mental poise. Along with reduction in pain and need for medication, increased energy levels, improved circulation and feelings of rejuvination.
The beauty of yoga is that it can be practised by people of all ages to ones own capacity.
