Three people sit cross-legged in meditation on a wooden floor in a yoga room. On the left a woman in a red plaid shirt and dark trousers sits with hands on her knees; in the centre a woman in a black top and dark trousers sits with hands on her knees on a blue mat; on the right a bearded man in white clothes and a pendant necklace sits with hands resting on his knees. Behind them a white banner reads a printed name, below it a framed poster-like photo of a bearded man in a dark setting. Other banners show chakra diagrams, a red-orange cloth draped over a low table holds a small arrangement of fruit and flowers, and a potted white flower sits nearby.
