About Tom Lev Tom Lev is a teacher and community builder who has evolved from air traffic control to dance to meditation, guided by the conviction that wisdom must be lived rather than understood. His background in dance taught him that presence and empathy transcend words, a principle he carries into all his teaching and work. He focuses on cultivating stillness and emotional awareness as ongoing practices, offering grounded instruction oriented toward helping people live with more ease and kindness. He serves on the board of Insight Meditation Houston.
