Kit Laughlin  – Stretch therapy – Master the pancakehttps://stretchtherapy.net/videos/There are a number of signature poses in bodywork schools, and high on the list in all of them is the legs-apart forward bend; in gymnastics, the Pancake; in Yoga, upavista kona-asana; and other names in other disciplines. Master the Pancake is the second program in the Master series. An hour and a half of high-definition video, this is a comprehensive course that contains all the elements to gain you mastery in this foundational pose. Mastery of this position will guarantee side splits (Chinese, or middle, splits) in time, too.Here is the table of contents:1. L1: Skandasana.
