KOSMOS RING

A mystery that brings the energy of Yin and Yang together.

There are two Ring Chairs in KOSMOS where you can receive Yin and Yang energy respectively. In the Yin Ring Chair, you can receive abundant Yin energy while looking at the moon in the Songgotbong. When you sit on the Yang Ring Chair and watch the sunset falling over the ocean, you will fill with the energy of the Yang. During your stay, it is highly recommended to experience more than one energy bath in the KOSMOS Ring Chair.
