A Swiss postgraduate program in movement, health & longevity for Pilates teachers, trainers, yogis and health creators. One year. Mostly online. Built to fit around a working life.
Whether you want to coach others or simply master your own health. This is education that changes you first.
They see you 2–3 times per week. They tell you about their sleep, their stress, their hormones, their injuries. They ask questions they'd never ask their GP.
This is a privilege. It's also a responsibility most fitness education completely ignores.
You learned the exercises. You learned the cues. But did you learn:
"Your clients are asking bigger questions. Are you equipped to answer them?"
They trust you with their bodies. They trust you with their health. Increasingly, they trust you with their longevity.
These aren't just outdated. They're what your clients see on TikTok, read in headlines, hear from friends. They come to you already misinformed.
This science is trapped in journals. Written for researchers. Inaccessible to practitioners. Until now.
These aren't abstract findings locked in journals. These are tools you can apply: to your own body, and to every client you work with.
That's why longevity is in our name. It's not a buzzword. It's the outcome.
The best Pilates instructor in the world knows movement: cueing, sequencing, flow, energy. That's their genius. But they're not biochemists. They're not sleep scientists.
University programs teach theory disconnected from practice. Weekend certifications teach exercises without the underlying science.
The problem: no one's been teaching this to practitioners.
We built the world's first academic degree that fuses:
One curriculum. Two faculties. A Master's degree that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Before you can guide others, you have to understand your own body. That's why every SGS student completes documented self-practice — not just teaching, but being in the work.
You don't just learn about sleep science. You optimize your own sleep and document what changes. You don't just study hormones. You understand your own cycles and patterns.
Anyone can buy a course. Anyone can claim a title. Anyone can have AI write their content.
Not what you know. AI knows everything. Not how much you watched. Videos are infinite. Not the certificate. They're printed by the million.
Not everyone is admitted. Not everyone graduates. That's what makes the credential worth something.
SGS uses the ATLAS formation method, designed for working adults who learn by doing, not sitting.
Most courses give you one voice: either a researcher who's never coached, or a coach who can't cite a paper. We give you both. By design.
We offer 60+ modular, science-backed electives across longevity, neuroscience, metabolism, performance, psychology, hormones, sleep, aesthetic health and more.
This isn't passive coursework. This is a living education, kept current by the Medical Board.

"We're looking for the right fit, not the right résumé."
That's less than a drop-in class. And it's the only degree of its kind in the world.
You can explain "why" in everyday words. You can spot red flags before they become injuries. You can adapt protocols when the textbook doesn't fit. You can read a study and know if it's relevant. You can charge premium rates. Because you've earned them.
They trust you with their longevity.
The education that finally brings it all together. Because your clients deserve a practitioner who understands the science, not just the exercises.

"Because movement mastery deserves a scientific foundation. Because you didn't get into this field to stay surface-level."
None. Start where you are. We're looking for the right fit, not the right résumé.
12 months standard, self-paced. Most students average 10–15 hours/week. There's an option to extend if needed.
No. Formation Portfolio replaces traditional exams: recorded classes, teaching practice, applied projects.
Each Master Instructor chooses how to deliver their track — online, offline, or hybrid. Their content, their format. SGS's own content (Foundation, Electives, Business) is online only.
Optional, by design. Partner studios worldwide host workshops (€150–200 each). Summer master classes and retreats at Otto Wagner Areal in Vienna start in 2027.
Master Instructors charge their teacher training fee (€3,500 per track), and SGS adds a €5,000 academic top-up for the Foundation, Portfolio framework, Electives, Business module, mentorship, platform, and credentialing. One fee. Two faculties. Twelve months.
You'll move faster. Everyone completes the Foundation. Recognized partner certifications (e.g. Balanced Body, BASI, Polestar) can fulfill the methodology track requirement.
Yes. €3,500 each, post-graduation.
PayPal & Klarna monthly (~€1,000/month). Full payment also available.
Evidence of real practice replaces exams. Three equal parts: documented self-practice, structured peer teaching, and your own teaching concept (positioning, sequencing, signature method, USP).
