part of her professional dance training in New York. After a noted
international career as a performer, choreographer and dance master teacher,
Marla Bingham has focused for the past fifteen years on expanding her
understanding of the mind-body connection and of movement-based therapeutic
exercises through Pilates and
through the GYROTONIC®
method. Marla

Certified Instructor. She is a Pilates
Method Alliance Certified Instructor and has been influenced by both the

Marla opened the Marla
Bingham Studio in La Jolla in 2004 to provide equipment-based body conditioning
for clients of all ages seeking the long-term health benefits of Pilates and of the GYROTONIC® method. Over the years she has developed a strong
relationship with a number of very loyal clients who can count on her knowledge,
her empathy as well as her constantly renewed enthusiasm and her individualized
approach.
