A large hall full of seated participants in yoga class on striped mats, many dressed in black t-shirts and dark trousers. In the foreground a shirtless young man sits cross-legged with both arms raised overhead, hands joined. Nearby a bald man in glasses in a black shirt sits with eyes closed, and an older man in white clothes and beaded necklaces sits with hands resting on his knees. Two large screens at the top corners show a close-up of a bearded man with long hair in a pink-tinted frame; the on-screen figure is a depiction, not a physical person. Stacked folded mats and red-and-gold hanging lanterns are visible at the back.
