Vladimir Latocha

Former Olympic Swimmer & Feldenkrais Coach

Vladimir is passionate about exploring the mind-body connection in a pragmatic and light-hearted way. In his twenties, this curiosity led him to both compete in the 1996 Olympic Games and complete a PhD in Applied Mathematics. His next chapter included 15 years of Aikido practice—two of them spent living and training in Japan—alongside completing professional certifications in the Feldenkrais Method (2009) and Somatic Experiencing (2018). Still active as an associate professor in mathematics, he now devotes increasing energy to collective and one-on-one coaching, helping athletes and students develop calm sharpness, coordination, and clarity in both performance and learning.

Workshop Description

Elite performance naturally pushes athletes and coaches to the edge of their current knowledge and capacity. Plateaus are often seen as a sign that full potential has been reached, shifting training efforts toward marginal gains. Yet, untapped possibilities remain. The Feldenkrais Method offers a powerful way to access them. By drawing on the natural strategies of sensorimotor learning from early childhood, it helps uncover new degrees of freedom—enhancing performance while reducing the risk of injury. Movements and actions that once felt impossible can become not only possible, but easy, efficient, and pleasurable. In this webinar, we'll share of few examples of counter-intuitive strategies that we use in order to unlock news degrees of freedom (spoiler alert: no stretching and pain involved).
