"As a Yoga and Dance teacher this essay gave me new tools and perspective of the space around me and the possibility to move with it. Tom has a wonderful talent of taking complicated movements and to explain it in a precise and clear way. The uncompromised study and research of Tom throughout the years helped him to create his unique movement language. This enables him to make any movement practice interesting and creative and as a student of this essay it added a lot of playfulness and fun which also helped me to find my own creativity.
Watching and practicing the content allowed me to develop new ways of seeing extraordinary possibilities in ordinary movement and space. In a way, I felt I was developing awareness of the special experience that is movement itself.
This essay is a must for anyone interested in movement and looking for refining and upgrading their perspective on the body, time and the space."
"Tom's rolling appears magical. Though I've seen him rolling for years, often I am compelled to suspect there is a secret ingredient in his technique. But here he deconstructs rolling so thoroughly, that nothing remains hidden nor mystified.
These essays are practical stepping stones. An example of a living practice. They invite you to enter the world of rolling at your own pace and for your own reasons. Doing that through time will present you with Tom's simple secret: Invest in what you love, and gifts will follow."

Physical Educator, Bodyworker
"I have come to know Tom as the personification of poetry in motion. Witnessing Tom's self-expression through movement and dance captured my imagination at first glance. The technical execution of how Tom moves in space is a showpiece in itself -- but there is more. There is an essence of wonderment and authenticity to Tom's being in movement. It appears that Tom has a unique relationship with gravity and space that is far beyond technicalities.
In his 'Essays on Freedom of Movement,' the student is introduced to the perspectives, concepts, and principles that Tom has harnessed through a lifetime of exploring movement. Not only are the classes produced in a pristine fashion, but the delivery of how a student can engage and integrate the content into their life is simply poetic.
The student is offered a view of the world, and suggestions of how to interact with it to bring one's own authentic physical expression to the surface. Loaded with pragmatic approaches to developing technical performance this piece of education can complement the seasoned dancer and turn the world into a playground for the general movement enthusiast.
I am personally delighted that Tom has created such a practical and wonderful resource that I can integrate into my own practice at any time, anywhere. I am particularly grateful for the profound insights into creating a practice inspired by wonderment.
Bravo Mr.Weksler!"
