Practitioners
Bobbi Esmark began her Taiji studies in the Los Angeles area (1993 to 2001) with Tom Walters, a sifu of Grand Master Tung Kai Yang, with whom she studied periodically in LA. After retuning to the Hudson Valley in 2001, Bobbi joined Martha Cheo’s classes. Martha had also studied with one of Master’s sifus and thus had the same lineage and form. She assisted and substituted in Cheo’s classes. She continued to study with Master Tung when he traveled to the Northeast or when visiting California. Bobbi also studies with Alex Dong, the nephew of Master Tung Kai Yang and the son of Tung Zhen Chen.
Bobbi started studying Qigong Movement and Meditation for Taiji in 1993 with Master Tung and has subsequently pursued research and practice with many contemporary teachers including Ken Cohen, Robert Peng, Deng Ming Doa, Deborah Davis, and Mythosomatic Qigong & Movement with Zhenevere Sophia Dao and Sunny Smyth. Her studies with Cohen, Peng and Sophia Dao have been her focus since 2019.
