Pancake Progress

The entire Mobility & Flexibility Toolkit team learnt to have achieved belly to floor pancakes as an adult. This puts us in a unique position to teach having gone through the difficulties of learning ourselves.

We are practitioners who are constantly researching, testing and teaching. It’s been a pleasure to pass on the knowledge and methods to our loyal students who all put in the hard work themselves. You can see a few examples below.
