The Sanibel Recreation Center is offering qigong classes now through March 21.

Qigong is a series of easy-to-do, non-strenuous techniques and movements that focus breathing, activate the body’s internal energy, foster relaxation, clear the “monkey mind” and help to reduce stress. When combined, the techniques lead to a meditation that generates a peaceful presence and overall “good to be alive” feeling.

The classes are available on Saturdays from 2 to 3 p.m.

Non-skid, closed-toe shoes are required.

The class is included with center memberships; a day pass is required for non-members.

Daily, weekly, semi-annual and annual memberships are available at the center.

The Sanibel Recreation Center is at 3880 Sanibel Captiva Road, Sanibel.
