"The Way of the 4th Toe" is a work of genius. There is no one who cannot benefit from its wisdom and experience. It is exactly what we need to help re-connect to our physical being. Wiener prescribes the antidote to the many pains and disabilities experienced through ignorance of the natural self." Bernard Berkowitz, Ph. D. Psychologist-Psychoanalyst, Co-author "How To be your own Best Friend", etc.
A book filled with wisdom coupled with directions for working with body tensions. Wiener opens contact and flow of feeling and thought locked in actual body life. So often I would read, try out suggestions and say - beautiful! A lifetime of practical experience and know-how richly condensed. I like your cogent, nourishing remarks. An invaluable book you'll want to share with family and friends.

The Way of the Fourth Toe is a distinctive treatment of the relationships among dance, pedagogy, psychotherapy, and creative movement. Absorbing as a model of dance-as-therapy, and as a narrative of deepening self-insight.

I did the standing stretching exercise we do at the start of your classes twice every day while away in Tanzania this past winter. It made a terrific difference in my physical state and I'm dedicated to continuing that discipline here at home.
