What is Yoga?

Yoga is among the oldest healing traditions in the world, with origins dating back over 5,000 years in India. At its core, yoga combines movement, breathing techniques, and focused awareness to promote balance in both body and mind. Over time, it has evolved into many different forms, but at its heart remains a simple idea: the body and mind are deeply connected, and working with one helps heal the other.

Research has shown that yoga can alleviate pain and stress, ease anxiety and depression, and enhance overall well-being.1 Recent clinical studies indicate that yoga may also help decrease PTSD and depressive symptoms in individuals with PTSD.2

Gentle Practices, Powerful Healing

At Innova, we understand that trauma is stored both in the body and the mind. Yoga can help you connect with and manage your trauma in safe, empowering ways. Our therapists incorporate practices like pranayama (breathwork) and asana (postures) to support healing, grounding, and release. This approach is guided by the principles of sthira (steadiness) and sukha (ease).

Together, they foster balance: strength without rigidity and softness without collapse. The result is a practice that restores calm, confidence, and connection, bringing together all the essential elements for lasting recovery.

Relief Through Restorative Movement

When pain lingers, it’s natural to move less. However, staying still often causes stiffness, muscle weakness, and even more discomfort. Gentle, intentional movement like yoga helps break this cycle by enhancing flexibility, circulation, and body awareness without pushing the body beyond its limits.

Our yoga and mindful movement practices emphasize:

  • Gentle stretching to release muscle tension
  • Strengthening to support joints and posture
  • Breath awareness to calm the nervous system
  • Mind-body connection to notice and respond to your body’s needs

For those living with trauma or chronic pain, traditional exercise can feel intimidating or even unsafe. That’s where we stand apart. Our Yoga and Movement program isn’t about perfecting poses or pushing limits. It’s about creating safety in movement. At Innova, we combine the wisdom of yoga’s history with a trauma-informed approach to help clients rebuild confidence in their bodies and find relief from the cycle of pain and stress.

Innova Peace: Chronic Pain PHP

At Innova, we understand that chronic pain is rarely just physical. It often involves stress, fear, and emotional struggles that perpetuate the cycle. That’s why we created Innova Peace, a specialized Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) focused on chronic pain. This distinctive program utilizes a structured approach that treats the mind, body, and spirit through an intensive combination of traditional therapies and holistic practices.

You’ll learn tools to manage and work through the emotional and psychological burdens that often accompany years of pain. Innova Peace offers a safe environment led by expert therapists, where your pain is taken seriously, your story is honored, and your recovery is supported every step of the way.
