Natural Body
The body as it is before habit, restriction and effort reshape it.
The Book
The Body Efficiency Method
The opposite of exercise.
Ten chapters that build a single idea from first principles: structure, geometry, tension, elasticity and awareness, and how they combine so that you can use more of the body to use less effort. Around fifty illustrations, drawn directly from the companion app.
Coming soon
The book and companion app are in their final stages. Join Toby's newsletter below to hear the moment they are ready — or browse the shop for Toby's currently available books.
The book and the app
Two ways into the same system.
The Body Efficiency Method book explains the system from first principles. The companion app lets you explore the body's structure, geometry and movement directly.
They are separate. The book will be available through the shop. The app will be available to members, with membership opening soon on The Coherence Studio website.
The book provides the explanation. The app provides the practical environment in which to explore it.

Level 1 — The Foundations
What the first level of the app contains.
Available to members. Level 1 lets you inspect the canonical body, turn it, strip it back to its geometry, and watch the three neutral states derived from it.
Whole Body
Seeing the body as one connected structure rather than separate parts.
Floating Neutral
Every joint at the midpoint of its range — nothing pulling anywhere.
Neutral Stance
The same joint set, met by gravity and balanced over the feet.
Upright Neutral
The pelvis rotating under the spine until the axis stands vertical.
Structural awareness
Feeling where support comes from, rather than where effort comes from.
Basic geometry
The lines, angles and centres that quietly govern every position.
Cantilever structures
How the body holds weight away from its centre without strain.
Movement exploration
First experiments in moving from structure instead of force.
Coming soon — the app will be available to members through The Coherence Studio.
The method continues
The book establishes the principles. The first level of the app provides the foundation.
Further development will introduce progressive training programmes, new movement modules, experiments and deeper levels of practice.
