Your co-pilots for the evening:
Eva Trapp, Founder of Sneha: Eva Trapp’s path to yoga has always been intertwined with dance. Yoga and meditation became her refuge. She spent the first three decades of her life as a classical ballerina, training intensively in her early years and developed a 15 year career dancing with Ohio Ballet, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and Twyla Tharp Dance. During her final years of performing, she devoted herself to Jivamukti yoga as self-maintenance to stay injury free, to calm the mind, and to warm up before shows. Returning to Pittsburgh, she retired from dance to have her son in 2017.
Eva wanted to give back to others the healing care she had received over the years. She entered the wellness world and became a Licensed Massage Therapist, training with The Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy. She is a 300-hr Jivamukti Yoga Teacher and a 200 hour-RYT. She studied Marma therapy with Indu Arora and learned Yoga Nidra with the Shiva Shakti School of Yoga. Eva completed her 600hr academic Ayurvedic Health Counselor curriculum at the California College of Ayurveda where she also received her Ayurveda Bodywork training. She is currently training with Intuition University and The Herbal Academy.
Eva created Bindu & Body, a place for community, connection, and care. Her holistic health modalities help with the everyday obstacles of life unique to each individual. Every offering is customized to fit the client’s needs and to find ways to incorporate easy solutions into daily routines.
Sneha began as a collaborative network during Eva’s time teaching yoga. She believes in creating true community and is happy to foster a collective spirit that values showing up for one another. Sneha aims to serve everyone who comes through the doors with loving-kindness.
