Harvey Meisner

 

Harvey Meisner is a certified teacher and student under Wu Dang Master Yun Xiang Tseng, director of Chi for Longevity. Harvey has studied T’ai Chi and Qi Gong since 1996  with local Atlanta teachers as well as with Master Wei Lun Huang, of Florida.  Since 2001, he has been a teacher of T'ai Chi and Qi Gong, teaching for Rising Phoenix T'ai Chi, where he is Assistant Director, and all around Atlanta. He brings a keen understanding of internal process and meditation to his work, as well as deep understanding of translating powerful athleticism into the slow, controlled and fluid movements of T’ai Chi, as he has been an athlete all his life.  Playing high school football and pickup basketball, mountain biking and backpacking in the wilderness, he values Qi Gong for its stretching, strengthening, and loosening characteristics. He also has been an avid downhill skier for 30 years, crediting T’ai Chi and Qi Gong for the quick healing of a skiing knee injury. He is a very vocal proponent of T’ai Chi and Qi Gong as both healing and exercise arts. He is endorsed by Master Yun Xiang  to teach T'ai Chi 24 Movements and Qi Gong.

Harvey also has a deep understanding of the internal principles of meditation and internal qi (chi).

He has studied and practiced Transcendental Meditation for 29 years, traveled to 46 states and 20 countries, and appreciates learning of the diversities and yet similarities in the many cultures of the globe. 

Corporate offices, seniors and those with special needs have all benefited from Harvey’s caring, careful teachings. He is well liked by his students and respected by his peers, is patient, knowledgeable, and wishes to share the art of T'ai Chi with all.
