Emilie Trauchessec joined the Asphalt Green staff in 2026, bringing with her a lifelong relationship with movement and a passion for teaching Pilates, Barre, and TRX. Her path to fitness instruction began not in a studio, but on a dance floor — she started ballet at age 3 and trained toward a professional dance career until she was 18. She then focused on Pilates and Barre in college, and pursued a Mat Pilates Teacher Certification in graduate school. By 2023, she was teaching Mat Pilates classes at a local studio and loving every moment.

Emilie’s classes carry the unmistakable influence of her ballet training, incorporating the same attention to alignment, precision, and control that shaped her as a dancer. She’s intentional about designing classes that meet people where they are, making sure her Pilates and Barre sessions are accessible to students at every level. Dance has been part of her life for 20 years, and she credits it with giving her both a deep sense of body awareness and a lasting emotional outlet — a space where movement becomes a form of expression as much as discipline.

That dual foundation — technical precision paired with emotional connection — is at the heart of how Emilie teaches. She’s focused on helping clients not just move well, but feel more connected to their bodies, bringing the same care and intentionality to every class that first drew her to dance.
