SASKIA SCHILLING

Saskia grew up in Davos and developed a strong affinity for movement from an early age. During her childhood, she participated in a wide range of sports, which laid the foundation for her lifelong passion for physical activity. This diverse athletic background eventually led her to competitive cross-country skiing and to being part of the Swiss national squad with SwissSki.

Following the conclusion of her elite cross-country skiing career, Saskia took part in numerous endurance running competitions. Alongside her professional career in the banking sector, she completed her training as a group fitness instructor, specializing in aerobics and barbell training.

As a valuable complement to endurance sports, she discovered Pilates many years ago, which opened a new pathway to strength, stability, and body control. Mental resilience, focus, and the ability to push personal limits, skills developed through elite sport, are seamlessly integrated into her Pilates teaching. Pilates has helped her sustainably prevent injuries while improving posture and flexibility.

From the very beginning, Saskia was convinced by the BASI Pilates method. This conviction led her to complete the BASI Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Training, enabling her to share her knowledge and experience with others.

Despite her demanding career in banking and her role as a mother of two, movement has remained a constant and essential part of her life. It has accompanied her almost daily since childhood and continues to be an indispensable ritual and a vital balance to both her professional and family life.
