Description

Master the Pancake is a specialized module within the Stretch Therapy Mastery Course developed by Kit Laughlin. This program focuses on achieving the "pancake" position—a seated forward fold with legs extended to the sides and torso flat to the ground—by addressing the specific muscular and fascial restrictions that limit flexibility.
