A photograph of a Yoga Sutras session in a hall with a dark blue curtain backdrop. A green banner reading "Yoga Sutras" hangs above a golden throne-style chair on a raised stage, where a seated figure in a yellow turban, black top and green beaded necklace sits with hands resting, a microphone stand beside them.
