The propagation of light in moving media is dragged by atomic motion. The light-drag effect can be dramatically enhanced by reducing the group velocity with electro-magnetically induced transparency. We demonstrate a systematic procedure to estimate the velocity field of the moving atoms, by holographically reconstructing the complex wavefront of the slow light and to simultaneously retrieve the absorption and phase shift. This large-NA, photon-shot-noise-limited inline coherent imaging technique may assist a wide range of cold atom experiments to access phase space information with in situ and minimally destructive measurements. By faithfully expanding the imaging data from real to complex numbers, the holographic technique also paves a way toward single shot spectroscopic imaging of atomic ensembles, even in presence of atomic density fluctuations.
