A man with long hair and a full beard stands centrally in an orange-saffron top and a dark-orange lower wrap, hands on hips, facing the room; this is a robed figure whose appearance is consistent with a ceremonial teacher, but identity is not established from appearance alone. Around him, many participants in dark athletic clothing are performing yoga poses, including a person balancing upside down on their hands and another with legs raised, while others bend forward on mats. A man in a white dhoti with a gold border stands on the right beside a camera on a tripod. Colourful hanging lamps and ornaments fill the ceiling, and a large screen shows people at the upper left.2016-12-14December 16 20162016-12-16December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14A yoga session in a large hall with red mats and a silver throne at left.
