Yoga Style:	Integrates with all styles
Specialties:	Yoga for the vital organs
Description:	Visceral Yoga is a fusion of yogic principle and practice with osteopathic knowledge and technique. The adapted visceral techniques are designed to be integrated into a self-applied yogic practice. One does not need to have previous yoga experience in order to get benefit from this practice. The postures are designed to simply and safely increase the range-of-motion and openness of various visceral joint-like articulations as well as support the vitality and function of the organs themselves. Typically, yoga works with the organ system in a general way, visceral yoga aims to support this intension by working specifically with each organ and its articulations.Visceral Yoga is Yoga for the Organs. Without the ability of the organs to slide over each other you would not be able to do a simple forward bend or even walk without great difficulty.
