YouTube Library
800+ educational videos on posture, structure, tendons, breathing and awareness. Free, unhurried, and ordered so that beginners can start at the beginning.
Learning
Free lessons, written work, and books to come.
Everything begins with the video library — over eight hundred lessons, freely available, exploring the system from the ground up.
The Body Efficiency book
A complete presentation of the system from first principles — not another fitness book, but a different philosophy of movement.
Coming soon.
Series One — Introduction
The 9 Principles of Body Efficiency
An overall introduction to the training. Nine short lessons, in order, laying out the foundations the rest of the work is built on. Begin at the first and take your time.
Part 1
Hold Up the Spine
How the spine is supported from within, and why length precedes strength.
Part 2
The Cantilever Effect
Balancing weight across the structure so that load is carried, not lifted.
Part 3
The Concertina Effect
Folding and unfolding the body evenly, distributing movement through every joint.
Part 4
Elastic Recoil
Storing and returning energy through connective tissue rather than muscular effort.
Part 5
Structural Isometrics
Holding shape through alignment, where tension becomes organisation.
Part 6
Hydraulic Power
Pressure, fluid and breath working together as a source of quiet strength.
Part 7
Relax and Flow
Releasing unnecessary effort so that movement can travel through the whole body.
Part 8
Breathing Qi
Breath as the rhythm around which posture and attention arrange themselves.
Part 9
Mind Body Connection
Awareness as the instrument through which the body reorganises itself.
Articles
Ideas, principles and practical guidance.
Why the skeleton comes first
Bone carries load far more cheaply than muscle. Where the skeleton is arranged well, effort quietly disappears.
Tendons, springs and free power
Connective tissue stores and returns energy. Learning to use it changes what strength means.
Breathing as organisation
Breath is not only respiration. It is the rhythm around which posture and attention arrange themselves.
Attention is the training
The body improves in the direction of your awareness. Noticing is the practice, not a preparation for it.
