Three people in plain white clothes perform headstand yoga inverted poses on a glossy white tiled floor in an indoor hall. Their bare feet point up and their hands are clasped on the floor. Behind them are white marble steps with a metal railing, a dark red curtain, a black speaker on a stand, a whiteboard on an easel, and a red chair. A fourth person in white stands at the right edge. The setting suggests an ashram yoga session.
