Mark the real activity footprint
Use the actual mat or equipment to represent the activity, including how you enter and move around it. This is a space-planning exercise, not exercise instruction. Avoid relying on an empty rectangle that is smaller than the arrangement you personally use.
Decide which pieces stay fixed
Choose sofa and storage positions that can remain during the activity. Then identify the few surfaces that need moving. A plan requiring the main seating to shift every day may be much less sustainable than leaving the central area open and relying on side tables.
Assign temporary parking
Mark a destination for every table or ottoman that moves. Check that those places do not block doors or access needed during the session. Furniture is only practically flexible when its alternate location works as part of the same room.
Try the complete routine first
Use your current furniture or boxes for a few sessions. Notice whether moving objects off tabletops takes longer than shifting the tables themselves. That observation may favor fewer decorative items or a different surface arrangement instead of a special new furniture purchase.
A hypothetical room can clear a central mat by moving one light side table into an unused corner. If the same routine also requires relocating three trays and an ottoman, the plan may need simpler everyday surfaces.
