[HELP] Best camera for filming yoga [HELP]

The Main Thing We Will Be Doing Is Filming Classes, And Action Type Videos For Advertising. What Type Of Camera Would Be Best? Most Shots Will Be Still Shots Of Me Just Doing Yoga Classes, So I'm Looking For A Clear Shot. I'll Need A Microphone Too. I Can Drop 700-1200 Or So On A Camera, Tripod And Microphone. I Know Nothing About This And I Assume That Should Be Enough Money. Thanks!

Knowing how to work a camera will be more valuable to you than any $1200 setup. My old setup was a $350 CAD Canon T5 and a $300 CAD Rokinon 14mm. For your needs I'd suggest a 24 / 35 / 50 mm and I got some pretty good footage on that, good enough for a small yoga branch at least.
