A yoga session in a blue-lit tent hall with a large projection screen behind. A bearded man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron robe and stands barefoot on a mat, one hand on his hip, with a silver-and-red throne at left. Around him, participants in dark athletic clothes perform asanas on mats and rugs, one person balancing upside down at right. Colourful hanging tassels and lanterns decorate the ceiling. Swamiji (probable): the standing man wears saffron robes and long hair, a presentation consistent with the page's reference to a yoga class taught by the Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
