CCC Wellness Tai-Chi class is designed with the purpose to promote self-awareness and active social engagement with peers. The development of Tai-Chi Quan absorbs the Chinese classical Ying-Yang philosophy that embodies a health preventive culture and the long life theory. It accumulates energy and leaves you refreshed and relaxed.  The graceful movement, coupled with deep breathing and mental focus, creates balance, flexibility and calmness, relieves stress and allows an integration of body and mind. Tai-Chi Quan is a theory that we are an integral part of nature.

Luey Chang has had developed an interest in music since childhood. He worked as a professional musician during his high school summers before coming to study and later work in the U.S. After retirement, he decided to renew and share his interest in music. He has been involved with community singing classes, instrument jamming sessions and karaoke programs. When asked to come up with something fun to do for the Wellness Center, he figured learning to play an instrument and singing would be most stimulating and satisfying for seniors.
