A space built for you — only you
Movement Oasis is a studio nestled in a private setting in La Jolla — designed for quiet, focused, one-on-one sessions. There are no waiting rooms, no group classes, no distractions. It's just you, a skilled teacher, and the time and space to listen to your body.
Led by Yann Artero and Marla Bingham, every session is tailored entirely for you — your history, your goals, your pace. Each session develops from the last. Both teachers hold recognized certifications with many years of experience working with a wide range of age groups and body types.
Yann Artero is a certified Pilates, GYROTONIC®, and Yoga teacher with over a decade of experience helping clients cultivate strength, mobility, balance, and well-being through mindful movement. Raised in a family-owned Pilates studio in the heart of La Jolla, Yann developed an early appreciation for the transformative power of movement and has dedicated his career to sharing those benefits with others.
Drawing from a diverse background that includes Pilates, GYROTONIC®, Yoga, functional movement training, acrobatics, and dance, Yann takes an individualized approach to every session. His work is guided by the belief that movement is one of the most powerful tools for improving quality of life, whether the goal is healthy aging, enhanced athletic performance, recovery from injury, or simply moving through everyday life with greater strength, freedom, and confidence. He works with a wide range of clients, from active professionals and athletes to seniors seeking greater mobility, resilience, and longevity.
Based in La Jolla, Yann provides private sessions in a welcoming studio environment designed to support optimal movement, physical vitality, and personal growth. His goal is to help every client move with greater ease, confidence, and vitality while building sustainable practices that support health and well-being for years to come.
Marla Bingham, former principal dancer with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, was introduced 40 years ago to Pilates as 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 is a GYROTONIC® Certified Instructor. She is a Pilates Method Alliance Certified Instructor and has been influenced by both the East Coast and West Coast styles of Pilates and modifications.
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.
Marla is a guest teacher of the prestigious Crystal Cruises, where — for a few weeks a year — she combines her passion for traveling with her teaching of Pilates.
