By Ko Dong-hwan


The Seoul Metropolitan Government is launching a new series of evening yoga sessions for those seeking stress relief, fitness and peace.
서울시가 스트레스 해소와 건강, 평화를 찾는 시민을 위해 저녁 요가 수업 기간을 시작한다.


A space in Gwanghwamun Square at the heart of Seoul will be reserved for 100 people every Tuesday and Thursday night from June 27 to Aug. 31. To keep the event orderly, the city government is putting a cap on the crowd size.
서울 중심부 광화문 광장에서는 6월 27일부터 8월 31일까지 매주 화요일과 목요일 밤에 100명을 위한 공간이 마련된다. 서울시는 원활한 행사 진행을 위해 인원에 제한을 둘 예정이다.


"Gwanghwamun Moonlight Yoga," headed by the square's operation division under the city government's Balanced Development Headquarters, accepts participants from the city's pre-booking website, yeyak.seoul.go.kr. The one-hour sessions starting at 7:30 p.m. are open to all ages and available for those of all levels.
‘광화문 달빛요가'는 서울시 균형발전본부 광화문광장사업과에서 주최하며 공공예약서비스인yeyak.seoul.go.kr에서 참가 신청이 가능하다. 오후 7시 30분부터 시작돼 60분간 진행되는 세션은 모든 연령대와 실력의 시민에게 열려 있다.


The event kicks off in the month of the United Nations International Day of Yoga, which falls on June 21. The day is also the Summer Solstice, traditionally known in Korea as "haji," a time of the year when daylight is at its peak.
이번 행사는 UN(유엔)이 정한 ‘세계 요가의 날'인 6월 21일에 시작된다. 해당일은 일 년 중 낮이 가장 긴 절기인 "하지"와도 같은 날이다.


An opening ceremony for the event will be held on the same day on the northern section of the square. Organizers will provide yoga mats for the first 100 participants of the two-hour yoga session starting at 7:30 p.m.
행사 개막식은 광화문광장 북쪽에서 같은 날 개최된다. 주최측은 오후 7시 30분부터 시작되는 2시간 길이의 요가 세션에서 선착순 100명에게 요가 매트를 제공한다.


The ceremony's main events consist of endurance yoga challenges for participants, quiz shows and a music performance by a Korean traditional "gugak" fusion band. At the end of the ceremony, the city government will give away yoga tops to all participants.
개막식 주요 이벤트는 참가자를 위한 인내력 요가 챌린지, 퀴즈 맞추기 및 한국 전통 '국악' 퓨전 밴드 음악 공연이다. 개막식이 끝나면 서울시는 모든 참가자에게 요가 상의를 증정할 예정이다.


The pre-programs kick off from 11 a.m. and continue until 6 p.m. when visitors to the square can check out the moonlight yoga and hashtag events launched by the city government.
사전 프로그램은 오전 11시에 시작해 오후 6시까지 이어지며 광장을 찾는 방문객들은 서울시가 준비한 달빛요가와 기타 해시태그 행사를 확인할 수 있다.


Yeo Jang-kwon, chief of the Balanced Development Headquarters, said that Gwanghwamun Moonlight Yoga was designed to invite people to experience the summer nights in Seoul at the city's most iconic venue through the globally known practice for bodily and mental healing.
여장권 균형발전본부장은 광화문 달빛요가가 전 세계적으로 신체적•정신적 치유 실천법으로 알려진 요가를 통해 서울의 여름밤을 체험할 수 있도록 시민들을 초대하기 위해 기획되었다고 밝혔다.


"You will be able to feel the city's new kind of urban night groove at its full length," the organizer said.
주최측은 "새로운 서울 밤 도심의 분위기를 최대치로 느낄 수 있을 것"이라고 전했다.
