A yoga class in a bright hall with pale tiled floor and red curtains. About a dozen women and a few men stand on colourful mats in side-stretch poses, arms raised overhead. A woman in black in the foreground has her hand near her knee, and an older woman with white hair wears black tracksuit bottoms. Small dumbbells lie on the floor, and a fan and a water bottle are visible.

A group yoga class in a bright, tiled hall with red curtains. Several participants on colourful exercise mats, in pink, green, blue and red, perform standing side-bending stretches with one arm raised overhead. The foreground woman with curly white hair wears black top and black trousers with white stripes and stands on a green mat beside a pair of grey dumbbells. Next to her, a woman in a black top and black trousers bends on a pink mat, and a man in a blue shirt and dark shorts stretches on a red mat in the right foreground. Water bottles and folded pink towels lie on the floor, with a few more practitioners in the background.

A group yoga class in a bright hall with polished white floor, where participants stand on coloured mats in a wide-legged warrior pose with arms raised overhead. In the foreground a woman in black top and black pants with pink side stripes, glasses and a pendant necklace, stands on a pink mat. Beside her a woman in black with curly grey hair holds a similar pose on a green mat. Others in black and white clothing fill the room, with a stanchion rope barrier and a red-draped table with flowers at the back. No a person candidate is visible.

A large tiled hall with many people performing yoga on colored mats in pink, purple, blue, green and red. Most participants wear black or dark athletic clothing, with arms raised overhead and torsos bent into back-bend or arching poses. Metal dumbbells sit beside several mats. A woman in orange robes stands near the back, and a row of metal crowd-control stanchions with red ropes runs along the right side. No speaker or a person candidate is visible in this frame.

A photograph of a yoga class in a bright studio with cream tiled floor and red curtains. In the foreground a woman with short dark hair and glasses wears a black top and black trousers, extending one arm upward in a side stretch on a green mat, with metal dumbbells nearby. Behind her several students on coloured mats (pink, blue, green) perform similar side-bending poses; one woman in a dark embroidered outfit stretches on a blue mat at right. A stack of red mats and storage bags sit at the back.

A large indoor hall with glossy white floor where a yoga class is in progress. Many participants in dark athletic clothes and some in red, pink and white stand on coloured mats (purple, blue, orange, green, red) with arms raised overhead in a standing lunge pose. Framed photo panels in red and gold hang on the walls, and a small statue and saffron cloth sit at the left edge. No single figure is clearly identified as a person; a distinct figure in white shirt and dark trousers stands at right without ornate saffron or rudraksha cues.

A photograph of a large indoor yoga hall with many participants on coloured mats performing a standing pose with arms raised overhead and hands pressed together, a warrior-style lunge. Participants wear white, orange, yellow, green, grey and black clothing; some wear orange robes. Dumbbells and water bottles sit beside the mats on a polished floor. Framed portraits hang high on the cream walls between red curtains, and a stack of folded mats is visible in the background.

A photograph of a large indoor hall with a polished floor where a group of about two dozen adults stand barefoot on colourful yoga mats, arms outstretched at shoulder height, holding small handheld weights in a guided exercise session. Participants wear mostly black, navy, white and blue clothing; a woman in the front left wears a dark dress, and a woman in the front centre wears a black top and black trousers. Behind them hang orange and multicoloured decorative banners and a row of curtains. No figure in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person, and the people visible are participants rather than a presenter.

A photograph of a yoga session in a bright, tiled hall with red curtains and white tables along the back wall. Around ten participants stretch on coloured yoga mats in a side-bend pose with one arm raised overhead. Most wear dark or white athletic clothing. Near the centre, a figure in a saffron-orange robe stretches on an orange mat; the robe is ordinary saffron clothing, and the image shows no clear cues for identifying him as a person, so the a person field is unsure. A blue water bottle and a green bag sit on the floor and a black dumbbell lies on a mat in the foreground.

A group yoga class in a bright hall with pale pink walls and maroon curtains. Participants in black, white, red and blue clothing stand on coloured yoga mats, many holding a balance pose with arms raised overhead while an instructor in a dark top stands at the left. Tall hanging banners with yellow fringe and geometric motifs flank the room, and stacked metal dumbbells and water bottles sit on the floor. A framed portrait of a saffron-clad figure hangs on the left wall, and rows of red chairs line the side. No ritual activity is visible.
