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. Vases of flowers and white fans flank the stage. In the foreground, rows of shaved-headed devotees in white and yellow clothing sit facing the stage, many wearing headphones. The seated figure on the throne is a teacher giving the session; the appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but the identification is uncertain from appearance alone. A yellow fabric hangs at the top left.
