A large group of people lie on their backs on blue and yellow mats in a hall, legs raised straight up in the air with hands supporting and holding their feet, a yoga-style practice. Dark clothing dominates, with many participants in black. A digital clock on a red-draped stage reads 09:43, and a large screen above shows a close-up of a face. In the background, two women in orange and a woman in white stand near the red curtains. Brass plates or bowls sit among the mats. The scene is a mass yoga session.
