I am Slava Komakha – the founder of the stretching school “FlexDerekSchool“, and am a certified student of the most flexible person on the planet – Moukhtar. I have been teaching at my school since 2009 in Kyiv, Ukraine. I offer online stretching sessions and speak multiple languages such as Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian and English. I specialize in the development of body flexibility in adults, over the age of 25-30. When I started training at the age of 26, using the techniques I now teach, I was like this. If you are interested in improving your flexibility with me online – visit this section of my site.
The method I use to teach flexibility online to my students is the same as what I learned from my teacher Mukhtar. The online workouts will consist of stretching the entire body, and include elements of yoga, Pilates and an easy strength complex. You will not need any equipment for the workouts, so they can be done at any time and any place that is convenient for you.
With my method and instruction I will help you become more flexible, strong and even help you lose weight.
“Correct” development of body flexibility and plasticity is also a key element in recovery after various kinds of injuries. Along with making you less susceptible to injuries in the future.
I invite you to try my hour-long flexibility training by offering you a first free session. You may go here to learn more about my online program.
I also instruct in person and groups (in Ukrainian only). I perform trainings regularly at my flexderek.com school as well as in sports clubs in Ukraine and other countries.
If you are a beginner and would like to get started, or have questions go here online. Remember, the first session is free. Even learning to do the splits is not as difficult as you may think.

STUDENT REVIEWS
Classes give flexibility, energy, joy and strength, what seemed to have sunk into the past years returns. All this helps a lot to learn to love yourself for real. The coach is experienced, energetic, able to help overcome previously seemingly insurmountable barriers without injury. At the same time, he mows down under a nice boy with adult smiling eyes. It is worth a try to understand that the most exciting activity - knowing and developing yourself - is just beginning. Favorite student of a loving coach.

As a ballet dancer, flexibility and stretching are very important to me, because today there is no way to dance without it. I always considered myself inflexible, I was sure that it was not mine. After a month of working with Vyacheslav, I was convinced of the opposite. I have been to many stretching classes, but the most progress has been made here.

Why do I train with Slava? It's very simple - from classes you get not only pleasure, and a harmonious mood for a long time, but also the result in the form of a healthy, flexible and plastic body. There are no limits to perfection - you understand, looking at Mukhtar Gesengardzhiev, And Slava makes it possible to achieve these aisles through training is quite realistic. And as a result, something incredible happens, it's not just a workout where you came, did an hour and forgot until the next visit - no! Everything changes - thinking, mood, a sense of harmony with the world and a feeling of lightness))))) I really like it) for me it's already like a drug) Thank you!!!

Yogis say “We are young while our spine is young.” The validity of this statement can be confirmed by everyone who has crossed the line of adulthood. Studying at FlexDerekSchool, you learn step by step to win back youth and health from your body. And, which may seem completely unexpected, the perception of the surrounding world changes, you gradually return to harmony with nature and people, forgotten feelings of childhood come.

The very first thing that captivates in Slavik is his enduring, infecting enthusiasm, which only increased, as it seems to me, during more than 3 years of my regular classes with him. Stretching, to be honest, is not easy. That is, of course, in the performance of Slavik, stretching exercises seem quite easy, but if I, a sloth, have not died out over these many years, it is precisely because next to the burning Slavik the January snowman will inflame with a passion for stretching. And when the inflamed snowman discovers that in more than 3 years he has become pretty slim, he has become cheerful, like a young rabbit (a carrot-nose turned out to be very useful), and stretching from a business, of course, not an easy one, turned into a pleasure (it was already hard for me) , then you can’t kick a snowman out of FlexDerekSchool with a broom.

I never thought that I would do yoga. I know that for some people yoga is not just a type of activity, it is a whole philosophy of life. I discovered it for myself at first just as a physical activity. Last year I had a back injury that caused a lot of problems. As soon as I told my friends about my intention, they recommended a coach to me - Vyacheslav Komakha. It turned out that we have known each other for a long time on social networks. We met, started practicing and literally after the first workout I felt the result. I practice according to the method of Mukhtar Gusengadzhiev, this is plastic. You are constantly in motion, bending. And there is absolutely no discomfort! What happens to my body in the classroom, I call the "plasticine effect."

I didn’t come to you with the goal of sitting on a twine or throwing my right leg behind my left ear, it was just that my back hurt a lot. The massage didn’t help. In addition to being satisfied with my posture and healthy back, I lost 3 kg. This despite the fact that I do not really follow the diet. I think I'll take care of nutrition. The whole body tightened up. When health problems are gone, now you can think about twine :))) but this is not the main thing for me. I love your classes because I relax after hard work. You are a very positive person, so the atmosphere of the classes is very easy. Hour as a minute flies by. It seems that we are working, but my soul is resting. I always leave you in a very good mood. I pay tribute to your calmness and patience. I am glad that I chose your classes. Thank you for your professionalism and positive attitude.

I've been studying with Slava at school for about half a year now. All exercises are simple, but very effective - the result is visible almost immediately. I had problems with stretching as a child, I didn’t have innate flexibility, like most girls, I have never been able to achieve such an effect as Slava had in such a short period. Slava recently released video tutorials. I bought the Flexibility Course for Beginners and Flexibility in 5 Days. I work out almost every day at home, in the gym before and after training. The lessons are simple, clear, you watch the video and repeat everything. Glory is an example that you can achieve excellent results at any age, the main thing is to start 🙂 Anyone who wants to improve their flexibility, I can safely recommend classes at FlexDerekSchool.

Dear Vyacheslav! Many thanks to you and Mukhtar Gusengadzhiev for the unique methodology and very competent implementation of the presentation of the material. I have not seen anything more ingenious than your methodology either on the Internet or in face-to-face classes with instructors in elite fitness clubs. Good luck and prosperity!!!

Each person is unique in his universe and beautiful in his beauty! This is exactly what you will feel when you cross the threshold of FlexDerekSchool. You will immediately feel that you are loved right now, just the way you are, completely new and inflexible, but they will support you in every possible way in all your aspirations, in order to then admire your diligence and perseverance in achieving your goal. And most importantly, you will get something more valuable, going far beyond the theories and practices of stretching, you will learn to listen to your body and trust yourself in everything! Thank you FlexDerekSchool, I made it with you!!

All her conscious life, she suffered from being too tight (the banal exercise of reaching her head to her knees ended in disappointment. After getting into these activities, she was not attached to the result, but cherished hope) First of all, I liked the professional approach to everything and the personal approach to everyone, the recording system for training, help with heavy exercises. I studied for three months and had good results, but then I missed a lot due to business trips and came as the first time (it dragged on even worse than before. So my recommendation is not to miss it if possible! We go to work together with my husband and are very satisfied. Somehow manages to relax and clean up after a hard day's work, not to think about problems... Our family is very glad to know such a person as Slava!!!! We wish you further development!!
Katya and Yaroslav Yaroslavsky
For a very long time I was looking for a school for the development of flexibility, since in the capital's fitness clubs there is a very narrow concept of stretching at all. I accidentally stumbled upon Slava's contacts, and now))))) I've been doing it for 3 months now. I go to classes with great desire (considering that I like to be lazy). Thank you for the atmosphere, for your mood, for your knowledge that you share with us and for the results that are visible every time more and more)

Slavik, you combine two important qualities: as a person, this is your natural simplicity and at the same time strict directiveness as a coach. For me, this is an effective way to become more flexible both physically and mentally) with sincere gratitude, Lena.
