A seated pranayama session in a pale pink hall with white-curtained windows and an orange cloth hanging from the top edge. Dozens of participants sit on striped red-and-white mats, most wearing white clothes and white headbands over their eyes. A standing figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe with a draped shawl, long dark hair swept back, stands barefoot near the centre, facing the seated group. A person in a white dress stands near the back wall, and a man in a yellow-brown shirt sits at the lower right. The overall scene is a group breathing exercise with eyes covered.
