A photograph of a large outdoor yoga class on a sandy beach. Many participants sit on mats in white and light clothing, several with hands cupped over their ears in a practice posture. In the foreground a woman in a teal striped top and pink plaid trousers and a younger girl in white with a hair tie sit on mats; the girl wears bangles. A white gazebo with a red roof stands in the background beside trees and a playground frame. No single individual's identity is established here, so the scene is described by role as yoga participants.
