Is the phrase 'outlet into' correct?

From a post on Instagram:
Going to yoga gives me a necessary outlet into self care. (...)
Dictionaries unanimously agree that the preposition that goes after the noun outlet is for:
outlet noun [ C ] (METHOD OF EXPRESSION)
a method by which emotions, energy, or abilities can be expressed:
Drawing classes provided an outlet for her creativity. OD
I couldn't find information about the phrase outlet into anywhere.
So, it looks like the preposition into is used incorrectly here, but maybe it was intentional. Does outlet into actually mean something in that Instagram post? Or maybe it's just an odd phrasing? Or is it simply an error?

Yes.
In the post, 'outlet into' is correct. The reason it is correct in the example sentence is because 'her' owns the creativity, it is hers, it belongs to her. 'Into' in the example sentence could be used also.
But in the post, they don't own it. The preposition 'for' would only work if it was as follows: Going to yoga gives me a necessary outlet for my self-care.. 'For' wouldn't work on its own. It needs a pronoun after it.
