The RGFT Method for Yoga
Smarter Rotation • Deeper Stability • Stronger Practice • Lifelong Joint Health
The Rotary Ground Force Training™ (RGFT) Method brings a groundbreaking movement-science perspective to yoga by optimizing how the body generates and stabilizes rotation — one of the most essential yet least understood components of a safe and powerful yoga practice.
Even though yoga often appears linear or static, every flow, twist, bind, balance, and transitional movement is deeply rotational. When rotation is strong and organized, the practice feels grounded, fluid, and effortless. When it’s unstable, the body compensates through the lower back, hips, shoulders, and knees, increasing strain and limiting growth.
The RGFT Method redefines yoga by teaching practitioners how to move with authentic ground-up rotation, improved stability, and greater structural intelligence throughout every pose.

Why Rotation Matters So Much in Yoga
Most yoga injuries and movement limitations come from poorly organized rotation, such as:
- ❌ twisting through the lumbar spine
- ❌ collapsing through the hips
- ❌ overusing shoulders to compensate for weak core rotation
- ❌ forcing range instead of creating flow
- ❌ instability in balances, transitions, and deep poses
- ✨ rotate from the hips instead of the low back
- ✨ stabilize the spine through thoracic control
- ✨ strengthen rotational muscles that protect joints
- ✨ deepen poses safely
- ✨ flow with more grace, power, and ease
The Breakthrough: Locking the Upper Kinetic Chain
This concept is a game-changer for yogis. By briefly stabilizing (locking) the upper kinetic chain — ribs, thoracic spine, shoulders — the body is required to generate movement from the hips and pelvis, where rotation should originate. Why this matters in yoga:- ✔ safer, more efficient twists
- ✔ deeper hip opening without stressing the spine
- ✔ cleaner transitions in vinyasa
- ✔ improved balance in standing poses
- ✔ stronger integration in binds and advanced flows
- ✔ a healthier relationship between mobility and stability
The RGFT Method for Yoga
How it upgrades your practice:- Ground-Up Force Awareness: Learn to anchor through the feet to generate stability and rotational strength.
- Hip-Led Rotation: The pelvis becomes the engine of healthy twisting and deepening poses.
- Thoracic Stability & Control: Protects the spine and improves alignment in everything from Warrior poses to backbends.
- Core Integration & Breath Coordination: Movement becomes fluid, strong, and centered.
- Joint-Friendly Mobility: Gain flexibility without overstretching or creating instability.
