Special Guest
Slava Goloubov
As a young boy growing up in Russia, he was always drawn to movement and physical activity. He found joy in exploring his own body’s capabilities and pushing himself to new limits. As he grew older, this curiosity only intensified, leading him to travel the world in search of new challenges and experiences. From learning Capoeira from Brazilian masters to studying with Shaolin monks in China, he’s been fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented and skilled individuals in the world of movement. Each experience has taught him valuable lessons about the human body and its incredible potential.
His passion for movement has led him to create the Movement Flow System, which combines the best practices from various disciplines to make physical education accessible to everyone. He believes that movement is a fundamental aspect of life, and his goal is to help others discover their own unique abilities and potential.
