Walking into Art of Qi in Riyadh’s buzzing Al-Olaya district is an experience that transforms you, not only spiritually but physically. As you enter the space, you are met with a lush, green walkway, sounds of flowing water, and a bridge that leads you to the practice space’s entrance. Reminiscent of a Chinese garden, it sets the tone for what’s to come.
Art of Qi is the first official Qigong practice space in Riyadh and is founded by Majda Abunayyan, who believes in a holistic approach to modern life and has dedicated over a decade to research and practice in the wellness and yoga fields.
The space offers services such as sound therapy, yoga, dance meditation, red light therapy, breathwork, holistic sessions, self-development workshops, and enriching ceremonies, all intended to balance the body’s qi, or the flow of energy believed to be the vital force of all living beings according to Chinese philosophy.
For those looking to build up their stamina, strength, and balance, while also engaging their mind, coach Venus’ Power with Light yoga class is an addictive experience. With the coach’s spiritual knowledge, grounding energy, and close attention to each pose’s integrity, the class leaves you feeling not only challenged but empowered.
