Five Elements Yin Yoga Night
오행 인요가 나이트

Escape the city in five minutes. In the quiet grounds of Bongeunsa, a 1,200-year-old temple surrounded by Gangnam's skyline, discover a Korean wellness ritual that harmonizes body and mind through the Five Elements.
도심에서 단 5분. 강남 마천루에 둘러싸인 1,200년 고찰 봉은사의 고요한 경내에서, 오행(五行)으로 몸과 마음을 다스리는 한국 전통 웰니스 리추얼을 경험하세요.

About the Program / 프로그램 소개
Five Elements Yin Yoga Night is a two-hour evening journey rooted in Korean traditional medicine and Buddhist stillness. Guided in English, the program weaves together the ancient theory of the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), gentle Yin Yoga that opens the body's meridians, traditional tea meditation, and a deeply restorative sound bath.
Set against the serene night atmosphere of Bongeunsa, this is more than a yoga class — it is an invitation to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself in one of Seoul's most sacred spaces.

오행 인요가 나이트는 한의학의 지혜와 사찰의 고요함에 뿌리를 둔 2시간의 저녁 여정입니다. 영어로 진행되며, 오행(목·화·토·금·수) 이론, 경락을 여는 부드러운 인요가, 전통 다도 명상, 그리고 깊은 이완을 선사하는 사운드 배스가 하나로 어우러집니다.
봉은사의 고요한 밤 풍경 속에서 진행되는 이 프로그램은 단순한 요가 수업을 넘어, 서울에서 가장 신성한 공간 중 한 곳에서 잠시 멈추고, 숨 쉬고, 자신과 다시 연결되도록 초대합니다.
