About This Class

This 35-minute Ballet Flow class with Byron de Marsé centers on the adductor muscles and inner thighs, framed as "the strongest muscles in the lower body." The practice opens on the back with Supta Baddha Konasana and side-lying inner-thigh pulses before moving through a creative sequence that incorporates ballet's first position (heels together, toes wide) into crunches, Down Dog heel-touches, and knee bends. The flow progresses through fire hydrant variations, figure-four Down Dog, Pigeon-inspired cat-cows, and a full standing series featuring Tree Pose transitions into Warrior Two, triangle with big-toe bind, Half Moon with toe hook, Chair Pose twists, and balancing with leg extensions. Props such as blocks and blankets are offered as options. The class closes with Frog Pose for a deep hip opener, Bridge or Wheel backbend, supine figure-four and Gomukhasana stretches, spinal twists, Happy Baby, and Savasana. Throughout, the instructor encourages playfulness, embraces wobbling, and frames the practice as an exploration of balance and inner strength rather than perfection.

    Good stretches and balance flow

  • Caterina

    It’s original and the flow is also nice. But sometimes it was hard to follow and had to check the video to understand what was going on with the poses.

    In 1956 my parents enrolled me in ballet to help improve my balance. I continue to work on balance, now, not just of body but of mind too. Thank you Byron for a balanced practice.
