A photograph from a yoga session on a red-carpeted stage. A bearded man with long swept-back hair and white forehead markings wears a saffron-orange robe draped over the shoulder and a dhoti, and walks barefoot across a striped rug toward the audience. Behind him stands a rock-like altar with a golden yellow cloth, lion-head decorations and a golden trident pillar on each side. Seated students in black and white clothing, many with their backs to the camera, face the stage, including a woman with blonde hair in a dark top. Weathered stone shrine figures sit in the background.
