Reconnect with Your Body. Restore Your Balance.
Yoga That Meets You Where You Are
Not athletic. Not performative. Just deeply healing.
If you’ve ever felt like yoga “wasn’t for you”—maybe it seemed too fast, too physical, or too overwhelming—you’re in the right place.
At Instar Healing, therapeutic yoga is not about flexibility, fancy poses, or pushing your limits. It’s about slowing down, reconnecting with your body, and learning how to feel safe inside yourself again.
Rooted in the tradition of Hatha yoga and grounded in clinical understanding of trauma and the nervous system, our yoga is:
Gentle and accessible, even if you’ve never done yoga before.
Intimate and personalized, often one-on-one or in small therapeutic groups.
Focused on healing, not performance or aesthetics.
Trauma-informed, so your safety and comfort always come first.
You won’t find power flows or heated rooms here. What you will find is a calming space to breathe, move slowly, and be supported as you reconnect with your body in a way that feels nourishing—not scary.
Who This Is For:
People who feel disconnected from their bodies or emotions.
Survivors of trauma who want a gentler way to heal.
Anyone living with anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, or feeling stuck.
People curious about the mind-body connection and how movement can support emotional healing.
This isn’t fitness—it’s nervous system care, and it’s designed to meet you exactly where you are.
At Instar Healing, we believe that true wellness encompasses both mind and body. Our therapeutic yoga services are designed to support individuals navigating trauma, chronic pain, stress, and other health challenges through personalized, evidence-informed practices and are offered in-person or virtual.
