Middle aged woman in a kneeling-meditation pose in a brightly lit studio. She is wearing red leggings and a white t-shirt. There are two windows behind her with bright sunshine shining through them, with white wispy curtains open, illuminating the room. She is kneeling on an olive green mat, which sits on a wooden floor.
