Alexandra G. Taggart, certified instructor of Dragon's Way Qigong, leads a weekly thirty-minute class of standing movement and meditation. "Anyone who practices can create change and have a positive impact on one's health," she says. "It is good for relieving stress and offers relaxation. You can go home afterward and have a practice that you can do for twenty minutes a day. It is about energy and community."
