Best lavalier microphone for online yoga teachers

Logitech Brio 4K Webcam
Great for teaching yoga on Zoom and livestreaming yoga classes
$128 USD
For simply teaching yoga on Zoom, this webcam is the best choice available. It plugs right the computer's USB port. It has great autofocus and a wide-angle lens so that you can frame yourself nicely even in a small room. The automatic lighting adjustment is incredible, especially in low light situations – however, a lighting kit is still highly recommended for the best quality.

Whereas most cameras cut videos off at 29 or 30 minutes, this one allows unlimited video recording, which means you can record full-length yoga class videos that are 60 minutes or even more. Please note, it does *not* have the ability to connect to live-streaming software or Zoom, and it cannot be used as a webcam. The battery capacity in video mode is 1 hour and 45 minutes.
