A photograph of a youth yoga gathering indoors. A man with curly dark hair, a vertical tilak on his forehead, an orange shawl over white kurta-style clothing and a rudraksha mala smiles while people in white clothes around him move and reach out their hands.

Several people in white clothing gesture and dance in the background.
