Here is an overview of the sky as it's shown in the dome during yoga!
Welcome: The room starts off as a warm orange to welcome folks with a little bit of the current sky they can see through the orange cove lights.
Start of Class: Once the instructor is ready to start the class, the orange glow will disappear, and guest will start the class seeing a blue sky accurate to the sky outside. Then the sun will work its way through the sky to set after 10 minutes have passed once we start.
Bulk of Class: As the sun is setting, you will start to see a sunset and stars come out. Once it is dark, deep blue cove lights come on and a picture of the Pillars of Creation: James Webb Space Telescope 2022 will appear. You can read more, or you can send this to the instructor, so they understand the setting of the space.
Image top suggested tips to point out: Viewers are looking at a stellar nursery, where stars are being born! This is a nebula, a place where dust and gas come together due to gravity to make stars shine. Themes could be rebirth, transformation, shine your light, gravity is grounding us.
End of Class: Once the instructor is ready for the last part of the class (shavasana) the Pillars of Creation will fade away as well as the blue glow around the room. Viewers will next see the current night sky and will stargaze for 7 minutes seeing current night sky constellations till dawn. The class will end with a sunrise of a new day and orange glow once again will appear around the room for the class to exit.
