A large hall with white draped ceiling and tall decorated pillars shows a crowd of practitioners in white clothes and white headbands doing yoga on mats. Many have arms raised overhead, some are bending forward or kneeling in prostration-style poses. A small monitor on a stand near the centre displays a video feed, and a person in a white top and pink headband in the foreground raises both arms. Pink and blue floral mats and striped mats cover the floor, with an orange cloth laid along the aisle. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in the scene.
