"The smallest change done with the greatest of attention can have the largest impact."

This class pivots on one alignment principle - supporting the natural curve of the lumbar spine and working strength in the upper back to broaden the chest, thereby undoing the "tucking" and forward-head posture that is chronic with our culture of chairs, computers and the notorious "text-asana!"

This principle is applied to poses throughout the class, culminating in ustrasana (camel) and eka pada kapotasana (pigeon) with a novel approach. The postures used in this class are accessible to students of all levels, but the precise cueing and alignment principle applied to the class create a more advanced application of the postures. This is a great class for both intermediate and advanced practitioners to experience more strength, depth, and freedom.

Kristen recommends using the following playlist for this class: Spotify playlist for The Smallest Change

Kristin is one of my favorite instructors on this site. Her instruction for how to subtly move your body really helps me go deeper into the poses while maintaining strength and avoiding injury.

I went back and rewrite the description which seemed to be representative. I have a hard time understanding why it was considered intermediate outside of the unique pigeon pose.. It is a class focused on small changes in the body position. clear instruction.

Slow but with complete instructions. Good class to correct postures and realign. And it is true; Small changes can have great impact. Thank you, Kristen!

Great instruction with right-on cues. The only thing to caution is if you are looking for something to do to ease "back pain" (which this falls under) beware of the deep forward bend focus.
The theme is very resonating. Thank you!

I really liked the opening of the chest of this class to counteract a day at the computer. Longer holds helped things open up and the pace overall was excellent.

Some different adjustments that I found helpful and effective, also plenty of challenge and use of different muscles.

I have to talk myself into doing slower-paced, technique classes but I m so glad I did! Excellent fine tuning of fundamental poses to benefit the total spine. Thank you.

This is a phenomenal class. The video function wasn t working for most of the time, but it didn t even matter because the verbal instructions were so clear and helpful. I really worked up a sweat!

Great class! The focus on alignment clues meant that I didn t experience any of the pinching / low back pain I sometimes experience during backbends (even when I m trying to be aware and use my core). I will definitely return to this for strengthening my back and core.

My only suggestion is that alternative cues for sending your stiz bones back would be helpful, since sometimes it s unclear what that should actually feel like in a given pose.

I like the idea, but this one was not for me. A bit slow, but mostly, it reinforced the rib flare I already have. Good for desk workers I m sure!!
