A photograph of a large seated audience at a yoga session. A standing man in a long saffron-orange wrap and a rudraksha-style red forehead mark, with long swept-back hair and a headset microphone, walks through the centre among seated participants in black clothing. Several people sit on the red mat, including a woman holding a small child in a blue top. A red throne-like seat with ornate silver trim stands at the left, and a white cloth backdrop hangs behind the hall. A sign reads Sadyojata, and a white fan is in the foreground.

He rests one hand on the head of a seated young man in a black t-shirt and extends the other hand toward him in a blessing gesture. Other seated attendees in black and striped shirts face the stage. Behind them hang red and yellow tassel decorations, a red curtain and a glowing screen, and a white ornate throne with red cushions stands at right.
