A large group yoga session in a bright hall with a wall-mounted screen at top left showing a similar crowd of seated practitioners. Many people sit cross-legged on striped, colourful yoga mats and blankets, with stacks of folded mats and cushions at the back. Most wear black or dark tops, while a woman in the foreground right wears an orange sari and a woman at left wears light blue. Several participants have their eyes closed in meditation, and a few hold their hands in mudra. Small copper water bottles sit beside some practitioners. No individual is identifiable as the teacher from this view; the participants are the focus.
