Sweat less, breathe more on Balwangsan

The Korea Herald article describes the wellness initiatives introduced by the Mona Yongpyong ski resort in Gangwon Province, South Korea, aimed at attracting visitors year-round. The resort, which opened Korea's first ski slopes in 1975 and remains the largest ski and snowboard destination, has expanded its offerings beyond winter sports. New programs include aqua barre classes in an indoor pool, yoga sessions, and forest therapy. These activities emphasize low-impact exercise, mindfulness, and holistic well-being. The article highlights the resort's efforts to cater to diverse demographics, including those seeking non-snow-related experiences. It notes the popularity of aqua barre, partly due to its association with actor Kim Hye-soo, and describes the serene environment of the wellness center, featuring amenities such as a transparent pool and meditation practices.
