A large hall session with a standing figure in a saffron-orange robe and long dark hair, stretching one arm forward toward a seated audience. Many participants sit cross-legged on colourful striped mats and cushions, most in black t-shirts and track pants, some bare-chested. A red-and-white ornate throne with a red cushion stands at right beside a small wooden table, and red drapes, a projection screen and a red-and-white decorated backdrop frame the stage. The standing figure's dress and hair are distinctive, and the page identifies this as a person session, so the figure is a person candidate leading the yoga session. Roughly thirty to forty people are visible.
