A group of men and boys lie on their backs on blue-and-white striped mats on a bare floor, legs raised high in the air with feet pointing upward, as in a yoga or physical exercise session. A man in a yellow t-shirt with a rudraksha mala looks toward the camera at left, and a man in white kurta pants lies in the centre. A boy in a light blue striped shirt sits with hands clasped in the foreground. Small brass items, a plastic water bottle and an orange cloth lie on the floor nearby.

A group yoga session on striped cotton mats over a red floor. In the foreground a man in a black t-shirt and white trousers lies on his back on a green-and-blue striped mat, lifting both feet high while holding his ankles. Beside him a man with grey hair and a beard, wearing a black t-shirt and dark trousers, bends forward to hold his toes on a yellow-and-pink mat. Behind them participants in black t-shirts stretch in forward bends and seated poses. Small folded towels sit on the mats. No teacher or deity is visible, and no one is identifiable as a person in this frame.

A photograph of a yoga session indoors on a tiled floor in front of gold curtains. In the foreground a person in loose light grey trousers and a dark wrist band performs a handstand-like balance, one leg raised high, hands planted on the floor. Behind them, other participants lie on folded mats and cushions, one in a dark top resting on a red striped bolster. A woman in a green shawl sits at left, smiling. No a person candidate is visible.

A photograph of a yoga session in a bright hall with cream floor mats. In the foreground a young man with short dreadlocks and a beard sits cross-legged, hands clasped on his feet, eyes open and looking to the side. He is bare-chested and wears black shorts. Behind him rows of bare-chested male participants sit in similar cross-legged postures on mats. Further back, a few people in dark and orange clothing and a figure standing at the top right are visible, with pink and white walls and framed posters in the background.

A photo of a person in a yoga practice inversion, balanced on both hands on a tiled floor with legs raised high, wearing light grey loose trousers and a black wrist band. Behind them, other participants lie on striped mats and cushions near a row of gold-toned curtains. A woman in a green sari sits smiling at the left edge. No a person candidate is visible.

A photograph of a yoga practice hall with a polished reddish-brown marble floor and a corrugated roof. In the foreground, a person in a black and red outfit performs an inverted pose with legs raised, and another person in a yellow-green outfit is inverted nearby. Along the right, seated men in white dhotis and white shirts sit in rows with hands folded, while children in white and red clothing sit at the left near striped mats. A standing man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at left and a shirtless boy stands near a pole. A plain blue sign with white text is on the back wall.

Indoor yoga session in a plain room with cream walls and children's drawings pinned to a bulletin board. Many children and a few adults lie or sit on red-and-white striped mats. A man in a white t-shirt and light trousers bends backward in a bridge-style pose, his forehead marked with a white band. A girl in a floral dress stands at the back, and a boy in a bright orange shirt and a boy in a pink-and-white checked shirt lie on the mats. A man in purple sits in the foreground, and a wooden table with papers and a laptop is at left.

A group of people lie on their backs on yoga mats in a bright indoor hall, legs raised straight up in the air, arms extended alongside the body. In the foreground a man in a white long-sleeved shirt and khaki trousers, on a green mat, lifts his legs high with his hands reaching toward his feet. Other participants in dark tracksuit trousers and grey or white tops perform the same pose on purple and orange mats beside metal dumbbells. Chairs are stacked against the back wall and a whiteboard hangs above. The glossy floor reflects the poses.

A seated yoga or stretching session in a bright hall with white floor tiles. Many participants sit on green and orange mats wearing white kurtas and pants, some with lanyards. In the foreground at right, a man in white clothes with a yellow shawl sits on an orange mat holding a microphone, leading the group. Rows of red chairs and seated attendees fill the background. Several people stretch their legs forward in unison, and the scene reads as a group satsang-style class. A possible guide appears to be the a person candidate, but the appearance cues (long hair, yellow shawl) are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the role is described as a presenter.
