"Tom somehow manages to challenge our minds, bodies and spirits in every class he teaches. -P.H.-"

Tom has been meticulous, patient and always cheerful in working me through the basics of yoga. My body is tight after years of weight training and, being in my 50s, I figured it was too late to learn new tricks. But Tom’s methodical approach over the past year has worked miracles, especially -at this stage- in terms of flexibility. He offers private lessons in my home, a big help given the time constraints of my job, and adjusts the program to address my strengths and weaknesses. I’m still not there, but I’m thoroughly enjoying the journey. I strongly recommend him.

We start our weekends refreshed and full of energy after Tom’s yoga class in the privacy of our home on Saturday mornings. Tom effortlessly adapts his teachings to our skills, which are starting to exceed initial expectations of our own potential. Tom brings a positive energy and a big smile, starting our weekends with a boost of “all that is good”

I look forward to every session with Tom. He manages to be both very easy to get along with and very clear and realistic about how to develop your Yogic practice. I finish every tutorial feeling both more relaxed and more focused with a distinct idea of the next step forward (in a non-aggressive way). I am a Yoga beginner who started by watching a few Youtube clips a few months ago and got addicted(in a non-attached Yogic manner, of course）. I started getting private tutorials with Tom after I was given a few as a birthday present. I found that I made a marked improvement thanks to his helpful suggestions and constructive feedback. Tom is an ideal teacher for beginners lime me because he is both very charming and patient.

Being a yoga beginner in my 40s, it was often intimidating and frustrating to dive into group classes populated by serene yogis gracefully pretzeling in and out of crazy looking asanas. That why I love doing private sessions with Tom. Tom is very patient and meticulous in his instructions. His sessions are challenging but never intimidating, upbeat yet meditative. After every session, I feel energized and relaxed no matter how exhausted or stressed before stepping on the mat. With Tom, I learn something new about yoga and also about myself. But most of all, I just love his smile and his energy!

Tom’s classes are always eye-opening! He guides us through what to keep in mind in every class, allowing us to focus our minds on the purpose of the movement. His deep yet gentle voice takes us through the pose in ease, allowing us to improve every time we participate.

I highly recommend his classes which are soothing & challenging, definitely friendly for beginners! And last but not least, his bright personality makes the class enjoyable:)

I started to coming to Tom’s yoga classes about 9 months ago, and I love them. One of the things I really appreciate is his knowledge of the various muscle groups and focus on ensuring correct form.

-Meditation in movement-
Tom’s dynamic classes help you get in the flow using body and breath. His calm and specific instructions help you to get in a meditative state while moving your body.

その他大勢の生徒さんよりクラスのコメント頂いております。いつも皆さん有難うございます:-)

アーサナの本来の目的は「心身の観察」であり単なるエクササイズではないことは頭では分かっていても 「なんで私だけ上手にできないんだろう！」と自分に対してもどかしさを感じることが多々ありました。 そんな私でしたが、トム先生のレッスンに出るようになってから 「ヨガは人と競争するものではない。地道に練習を続けていけば、いつかきっとできるようになる！」という 気持ちになれました。 トム先生がレッスン中におっしゃる「内なる目でご自身を見つめてください。」という 言葉に救われたのだと思います＾＾ ヨガの本来の目的を忘れてしまいそうだった私に、貴重な気づきを与えてくださりありがとうございました！

Tom is a dedicated Yogi who appears to float through movements with grace and ease. He exudes a positive energy that is infectious in his classes. When working with Tom it is hard not to be inspired by the flow of his movements and his calming presence. He is clear in his directions and conscious of where each of his students are at, gently guiding them when needed. Tom’s classes are dynamic and energetic, though Tom balances this well with pranayama and meditation. An adept Yogi, students working with Tom will learn through the pure enjoyment of doing a class together with him.

Tom’s a very patient and supportive teacher. It was my first time trying yoga so I was initially a bit nervous, but Tom’s instructions are not only easy to understand but also really effective in helping to do poses correctly. He’s very perceptive and even though it’s a group class, he still makes sure to help me individually. I always feel very relaxed after his class and it’s a really good way to start my week!

I wish Tom moved to New Zealand…

Tom somehow manages to challenge our minds, bodies and spirits in every class he teaches. His gentle manners and demonstrations -he seems to fly over his mat!- make you want to come back for more… I love how creative his classes are, it shows he puts a lot of effort and thoughts in his planning… perfect balance among asanas, pranayama and meditation… Always a delight to do yoga with Tom!

私は、京都と東京を往復する生活をしています。 日曜日の夕方に東京にいるとき、時々トム先生の荻窪クラスを時々受講させてもらっています 仕事で忙しく、緊張が強いられる日々ですので、体をリラックスさせたら、翌週少し穏やかになります。 トム先生のハタヨガのレッスンは、アシュタンガのレッスンほどキツくなく、しかし、体に少し負荷をかける？メニューも入っていて、私にはちょうどよいです。 不眠症なので、ヨガニドラなども試してみたいです。 これからもどうぞよろしくお願いします。

トム先生のクラスは、きつすぎずゆるすぎず心地よいペースで呼吸と共に楽しめます。 声のトーンがじんわりと自分の内側にはいってくるのでしょうか、余計なものに邪魔されず自分の内側に集中していられました。 トム先生の長年の経験をもとに教えてくれて、ヨガを通して丁寧に自分と向き合うことを教えてもらっています。瞑想や呼吸法、ヨガニドラも参加してみたいと思っています。

Melhor ioga que eu já fiz o professor Tom é fantástico muito atencioso explica tudo com atenção fiz algumas salas meu corpo ficou totalmente bem as dores que tinha nas costas sumiram pretendo fazer mas espero que esse ano tenha ioga na praia obrigado Tom

「Tom先生のヨガなら続けられそう」と始めて約7ヶ月。今では「Tom先生のヨガ最高！」と楽しんで参加しています。クラスではポーズ以外にも瞑想や呼吸法など、丁寧に親切に教えてくれます。他にもライフスタイルやヨガらしい考え方など、興味深いお話をして下さるので、とても学びの多い時間になってます。そして、何といってもTom先生の笑顔が素敵です。Namaste:-)

私はアーサナが好きです。 Tom先生のクラスは、流れるようにアーサナが続きアジャストありで、自分の身体の左右差を知ることができます。 最近心に残ったTom先生の言葉は「肩と耳を遠ざける」です。 アーサナを組んでいる時だけでなく、日常も意識するようにしています。 Tom先生がさわやかでCharming! 参加するのを楽しみにしています。

As someone who would never have considered even stepping into a yoga if it wasn’t for his encouragement, I found Tom’s classes to be exceptionally welcoming, judgement free and empowering and his teaching style to be both peaceful and eye opening.
