Beside him an older man in a black shirt kneels with hands on the mat, watching. Behind them rows of participants in similar stance on mats, several wearing orange lanyards, and a volunteer in black stands at the back.

Some wear pink or white tops. Camera tripods and a video camera stand at the left edge, and a draped dark table and a blue-cloth table sit toward the back of the room near folding chairs and wall-mounted pictures.
