A yoga session in a large tented hall with red drapes, colourful hanging tassels and a projection screen showing a crowd. A man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a red tilak on his forehead, stands holding a microphone and faces a shirtless man with his arms outstretched. Behind them, many participants in dark clothing are seated or stretching on striped mats, some with arms raised. A silver-and-red ornate throne stands at left. The saffron-robed figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the role is described as a teacher leading the class.

He rests one hand on the head of a seated young man in a black t-shirt and extends the other hand toward him in a blessing gesture. Other seated attendees in black and striped shirts face the stage. Behind them hang red and yellow tassel decorations, a red curtain and a glowing screen, and a white ornate throne with red cushions stands at right.
