All you need is a space and either a Smart TV, tablet or laptop, heck even a smart phone would do the trick. Slip into something comfy you can stretch in, like leggings, or shorts and a t-shirt or sports top. If you happen to have a yoga mat do use that, alternatively yoga can be done on a floor or rug.
