A large hall with a polished white floor and a draped grey fabric ceiling, supported by tall columns decorated with colourful geometric patterns in red, blue, yellow and orange with tassels. Many people sit on yoga mats in rows, some cross-legged and some kneeling, dressed in white, black, grey, green and pink. A white-clad woman in the foreground sits cross-legged with a water bottle beside her. Along the central aisle, white stanchions with rope barriers guide the way toward a far stage area with a television screen. Two people in orange near the centre, and a man in a black shirt kneeling on a blue mat at right, complete the scene.
