David Schneider
 Born
in New York in 1955 and growing up in Westchester County
David had no idea of the doors he would pass through
and choices he would make in his early 40's that would
propel him into the career he has today. Educated at
The University of Vermont, and Copenhagen University
Denmark David graduated in 1980 receiving a Bachelors
Degree in Political Science with a minor in Psychology
and Studio Art and an Associates degree in Radiation
Therapy, which led him to a seventeen-year career starting
at Harvard where he served as clinical coordinator for
New England Deaconess Hospital and finishing his Radiation
Therapy career as Chief Therapist in New York City at
Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan. During his career
in health care David had also pursued alternative forms
of exercise with his major focus on Tai Chi and Chi
Kung as a remedy for his own stress from dealing with
the sick and dying and urban lifestyles and he began
teaching Tai Chi and Chi Kung in New York City privately
during that time while training with some of the best
instructors on the East Coast of The United States.
He has trained for over 35 years in Boston, Burlington
Vermont, New York City, Hong Kong and Beijing. He continues
to train to this day in Hong Kong.
David credits his emotional strength in general to
his personal practices and the years spent in spiritual
development through working with the sick and dying.
He believes these ancient exercises of Tai Chi and Chi
Kung and Meditation offer keys to the pathways to health
and happiness if one is willing to invest in them and
take the time to take a look at their lives and make
changes in a positive direction. Today David lives in
Hong Kong with his wife Ivy and their 14 month-old son
William. He teaches Tai Chi to locals and ex-pats with
a spirit of gratitude for the life that his personal
training and Tai Chi has led him towards. His teaching
style is no nonsense and modern. He firmly believes
that these ancient methods are easily accessible if
you can find the right teacher who has compassion and
commitment towards the student and if the student is
willing to take the time to invest in oneself.
Along with his wife Ivy
they have built two companies: Health and Fitness and
Waving
Clouds Productions Ltd. Waving Clouds was created
as a platform for Beijing and Hong Kong martial artists
to teach globally and allow their teachings to spread
for the benefit of all who have the opportunity to attend
seminars and study with them. David also serves as Secretary
of The Chinese and American Tai Chi Chuan Association.
He is certified
by The Beijing International Wushu Association to teach
Chinese Internal Martial Arts.
Currently David teaches Life Coaching Internationally
through the use of Tai Chi, Chi Kung and Meditation
to private clients and seminar groups by arrangement.
When he is in Hong Kong with his family he teaches by
appointment. Click
