Outdoor photo of a large open concrete courtyard with a corrugated roof pavilion behind it, surrounded by coconut palms and red-brick walls. About thirty people in dark clothes lie prone on pink, yellow and blue mats in neat rows, heads down, as in a yoga or relaxation pose. A woman in dark clothing sits cross-legged at the left edge, and a few more people stand near the back. Red flowering shrubs stand at the right, and a tall ornate pole rises beside the pavilion.
