A photograph from a seated yoga session in a large hall, seen from behind a standing figure with very long dark dreadlocked hair wearing a loose orange-red wrap over bare shoulders and holding a green-handled object in one hand. Many seated participants in black clothing with eyes closed or lowered face the front, including a man with light hair and a black headband and a man with a black shirt and rudraksha-style beads. A white electric fan stands at the left beside a gold-trimmed dais, and a cameraman in white is visible in the background. The page suggests a person is in the scene, but the standing figure's appearance is uncertain from behind. Approximately 20-30 people are visible.
