30-Minute Power Vinyasa Flow with Briohny Smyth

[@elizabethsmith8230]

I'm sad that other people don't like how much talking the teacher gave in this video. I liked Briohny's amount of instruction and found it extremely helpful. I find that there are very few truly intermediate yoga classes and videos out there. Most are either quite basic and slow or so advanced that I feel intimidated (and sometimes, I admit, angry) by the practice. I felt that Briohny hit a happy medium for me by providing good instruction to help me become better prepared for the more advanced poses like handstands and headstands.

[@datjodoe]

I don't think it was necessarily how much she talked but when she talked. It messed up the breath sometimes for me personally.

[@myyogapath]

So true, I agree with you

[@cherriedpie]

I loved her style. Reminded me of my instructors! Glad I could flow with her today

[@TheJamason123]

well she has 15k likes and 433 thumbs down.... No need to be sad.

[@플로리다부동산]

Her guidance helped me a lot my daily practice. It s so far best video for my home practice.

[@alison791]

FINALLY!! Someone explaining the poses correctly for us newbs that have never done it and need to know the proper form

[@joyying9872]

I cannot get enough of bri. I wish she’ll design a weekly yoga flow targeting the different parts of the body. I’ll follow that so diligently

[@Arlene001]

I swear to god, I was dying when doing the flow but now that its over I feel so refreshed.

[@bianca684]

exactly the same for me

[@ricardobarreto7364]

Me too....

[@TheSmithPlays]

I haven’t found anyone on KZbin that helps bridge the gap from intermediate to expert poses better!

[@yogaconnectlindaday6514]

Beautiful practice. Thank you Briohny. Your “float” both from downdog and from handstand to plank was incredible.

[@Tupemo]

Yeah that was something magical

[@paulcabrera7033]

This session was one of the most informative and engaging yoga practices I've done. Briohny provides the perfect balance of information, teaching and encouragement I could hope and ask for. Thank you briohny for sharing your practice with us.

[@meganrylak6063]

I was pleasantly surprised. Alo Yoga tends to give off the vibe of only being accesible for LA yogis with perfect bodies. Briohny effectively led us through a delicious practice that felt amazing. I'm glad she explained every step of the way. It brought ones attention to the body and made it a concious practice, not the usual going through the movements on auto pilot. Also, by explaining each move, it allowed me to fix some moves that I'd been slacking on. Chaturanga anyone? This routine felt really good. I will be coming back for more.

[@marianaguerrero2654]

I think Briohny might be favorite yoga instructor ever. She makes me feel so comfortable and not at all frustrated during practice

[@c-sizzle1319]

I’m confused by people saying the instructor talked too much. I’m not sure how it’s so distracting. I personally really enjoyed it, especially for that second round of warrior II - it made it go by quicker! Stop with your petty criticism. Thank you Alo Yoga for a gorgeous, much needed morning flow. :)

[@CharlysGardenSchoolg]

Chelsea Doi I like the instruction. If they don’t like her talking they can go somewhere else!

[@williamfullmer857]

I agree with both of you. I have been practicing for years and she offered suggestions that I haven't heard with other instructors.

[@liina927]

Yep...and i am a beginner so it was VERY good that she was talking 😀

[@christiedriscoll8921]

I loved it too! Perfect.

[@iwantabiscuitplz]

I love how you actually tell viewers how to do the poses, even those as 'basic' as small cobra, as you go, and transition slowly into each pose so people can actually see how you got there. I usually find on yoga videos the instructors fly from one pose to the next and sometimes hold them for hardly any time so I don't even know if I'm doing them properly. So thanks!

[@26realmc]

Great cues, did not over talk, she's catering to wide range of levels. Soothing, pleasant voice as well. I'm a fan

[@evvissers8506]

Totally changed my mood 180 degrees on this rainy day in Amsterdam. Namaste and thank you so much!

[@KBongMusic]

“We can accomplish whatever we want in life, and be calm through those stressful times” - My favorite quote of yours from this practice. Your words and Vinyasa flow are much appreciated! Especially during this quarantine time 🙏🏼 💫

[@littlemisslenny13]

KBong Music kbong!!! What a nice surprise to see you here 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@γεωργιαΠαπαπα]

You are amazing and I love that you talk a lot so I don’t have to check my screen all the time. I got emotional at the end when you said “be grateful to dedicate this time for yourself”... I really needed this

[@genuinelunch]

I have used this video hundreds of times. I just listen to it now. I even have it all memorized, but I like to lend the pace to someone else. It's a perfect session for me, so thanks very much for putting it on the net!

[@fafu62]

This flow was hard for me, but let's be real, we all need some challenge here an there to not get stuck in our practice! I'm looking forward to coming back to this practice and realise I'm getting better and better! Thank you Briohny:)

[@OrangeBubbly]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I got my first ever successful crow pose today because of you! The note about rounding out my shoulder blades was all I needed for the strength in my core to balance and hold. I cried with such happiness. There were several other pose holds that were very helpful, but you have no idea how much joy that one brought to my practice!

[@Aloyoga]

We loved reading this! Keep up the amazing work. 😊❤️

[@Rules5005]

Congratulations 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I'm still working on crow pose, I'll hopefully day the same 💛

[@ugh3923]

omg exactly the same at first i was afraid of failing but his time i just didnt care i did the crow pose for like a split second then i fell but this time i got up and tried again and again and again 💪congrats btw❤

[@sarahannferrigan]

Such a positive instructor, very joyful and gentle. I really enjoyed it, thank you.

[@nads5841]

Bri has a gift of presence. She leads with her voice and soul. Truly one of the best practices online.

[@leraemossner10]

This was such a great change of pace for me. I’ve been using the same yoga dvd for almost 10 years, and finally decided it was time to branch out. This definitely is a physically demanding flow, but the instructor assured you that it’s okay to flow at you own pace and ability. Thanks for posting!

[@amanimuhammad4320]

Loved the explanations, calmness, clarity, and flow. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do cause you can't see the screen, but because you explain everything so well I can follow through. I love how you remind us to check certain muscles and parts of the body throughout, cause I fix my pose and realize how much more strength, stretch, and balance it gives me. Excellent, truly!

[@debbylim444]

So addicted to Briohny’s classes. Her flow is amazing, balanced and invigorating, just the right amount of perfect! Cant get enough. More Bri pleeeease🙏

[@samhenriquez9222]

She has a perfect calming voice. I’ve been a yoga instructor for many years. If you don’t like it move on 🤷‍♀️ no need to leave you’re unkind opinionated feedback. So many students look around for directions and the best most successful instructors I’ve known speak as they flow because it helps your alignment and keeps the class rolling vs boring

[@ritudua3316]

She was amazing. She gave perfect instructions and made me feel like it was okay to feel tired through out it. A lot of other instructors dont give you that reassurance that everything doesnt have to look perfect

[@rachelhogg1794]

istg when you went from handstand down into high plank so effortlessly my mouth dropped open it was amazing !!

[@ninastemple235]

I am still at a beginner level but was able to do this practice with modifications. I love her explantations through it all as well. I am looking forward to getting to the intermediate level. The way Briohny moves is very inspirational! Those handstands!!! 😍

[@qihanjin2122]

Only discovered Briohny's yoga sessions yesterday and am already in love with her teaching. I've been practicing handstand and find many techniques from Brio particularly well articulated and helpful. Thanks so much Brio for your teaching.

[@susan9775]

Love your classes! I'm a busy mama and carving out extra time for a yoga practice is precious. Thank you for creating 30 minute flow videos for those of us who have limited time in our day. Deep gratitude for alo and all the content you create. Thank you Briohny for bringing the strength and grace!

[@lisacolquhoun2942]

I love how personable you are Briohny, thank you. One of the best classes I have done on youtube!

[@hillem97]

I haven’t felt stillness in months and this video really got me there. Thanks a million!

[@rophiny]

Thanks, Briohny! I always appreciate your very in-depth instructions on how to focus my body, and how to focus my mind. As a beginner, I often get lost during my poses, frustrated that I'm in pain, because of the length of the pose, but then forget that it's actually my choice to control the level of my flow. I appreciate all of your words.

[@rachelkopper652]

Great flow. Powerful enough that I can watch multiple times and build into the full practice. Loved the instruction...I didn't feel like I had to watch the screen rather I could listen to the calm and clear instruction and just flow!

[@agnieszkasynak4686]

Fantastic instruction from Briohny very clear and with just enough emphasis on alignment and holding the poses as well as understanding how poses affect your body. Strong basis For those who think she talks too much should try to do this sequence by listening to the instructions without looking at the video.

[@marig.2318]

Thank you ❤ I'm getting back into yoga after 15 years away from doing it. You're a great teacher! My teachers at the studio talk us through it as you do. I appreciate that so much as I'm so conscientious about my poses that I can't always see what's going on around me w/o quick peeks. Your gentle guidance is much appreciated by me. I saved this video to my library for those days I don't make it to class. I try to go every 2 days, so this will be perfect for me on those inbetween days. Namaste 💛

[@erins1782]

I agree with Elizabeth - I liked her direction and she spoke very well, I’m amazed how great she sounded throughout those difficult moves!

[@pinkandshine]

I really like her voice. It's calming while I'm moving my body slowly from one asana to another :)

[@jennifercolleenrobin]

This was relaxing and challenging at the same time… She did talk a good amount, but there were times I appreciated the extra explanation that helped me check my form

[@ditaknightely1089]

Your practice is super, almost perfect even. Intense yet relaxing. I could do this everyday, literally.

[@pickostark8203]

Wow she’s so amazing , Briohny is a famous singer in Thailand but now I just watch and do yoga follow her as she is a very good instructor..

[@Tremdellacrem]

my favorite so far she was amazing! perfect balance of upper and lower body strengthening. her energy is beautiful!

[@NatalieBRockinIt]

Just what I needed! Briohny has such good cueing that I knew what to do without having to look at the laptop contantly. Love your peaceful voice. Thank you for the powerful, invigorating flow!

[@ianwulfson6943]

I really appreciate the pace of this flow and attention to detail. So many flow classes just rush through the poses, but here I can feel the posture deeply. More like this please!

[@melindadouthitt1022]

AWESOME JOB Briohny!! I loved this. I had two other gals do it and they were challenged. I told them "don't think like you can do all the poses like SHE does them...you have to start somewhere...just keep practicing it and you will get better"...This was just MY speed. Loved it...you are too sweet. Thank you for your time and energy creating this free video for us all to watch. God bless you!!

[@alicegilchrist8258]

I love Briohny's explanations!! It means I know exactly what to do without looking at my laptop. Also Briohny *feel free to come up into a handstand* Me *hops with 100percent effort 1 inch off the floor* 😂

[@juanaarbelaez3945]

This was amazing, helped me to correct some postures and challenged me to practice more o I can follow your instructions without stopping jajaja

[@purpleicemix1909]

I started crying bro 😭🗿

[@taramatheis1451]

That was the perfect energizing practise for me this afternoon- thank you! The last yoga class I attended was 3 years ago pre-Covid and since then I've just been practising by myself and ofcourse not challenging myself as much as when guided by a teacher! 🤣 I'm happy to have come across your chanel and I love your style. The way you continuously talk through the details makes it much easier to just stay in my body and feel the practise without having to constantly look at my phone to see what you are doing! Thanks for a great class Bri- looking forward to more with you🙏

[@nirelmar]

This is excellent! Saving this video as one of my go-to vinyasa flow classes. Great 30-min way to strengthen and relax the body and mind. Thank you Briohny and Alo Yoga!

[@clairec7116]

Briohny is so sweet, cute, strong and encouraging and sends such great vibes through the screen!

[@yossaysu7259]

I was getting a bad sad mood so hard that my jaw and mind was about to break... thank God I decided inmediately look for a class to practice and meditate and as I started to follow this class my mood inmediately low back to smooth and now I feel peace back again. Namaste!!!

[@sniperwarrior646]

Bri thank you so much for helping me get a good routine started! Your guidance is much appreciated! 🙏

[@DrDresShreds]

Fantastic class! I loved her directives, pacing, and tone. This was a fantastic short sequence for those who want to sweat but are short on time.

[@Rules5005]

15/2/23: What a treat this morning 😀💪🏾🙏🏾, I loved how you explained the crow pose sequence which is still a challenge to me. You've made me fall in love with your practice 💪🏾 Thanks Briony for all the effort you put in creating this practice 💛

[@HeidiLiou]

I loved this flow with Briohny!!! Not too difficult but still got me sweating and feeling good. Her voice is gentle and she does a great job leading/explaining.

[@nikolaadams5177]

Someone earlier said this about Bri: "It's like the ballet of yoga". I completely agree. Thanks for such wonderful movements and your beautiful style of teaching!!

[@Brunafbarros]

I’m so grateful for this practice! Just love the way Briohny instructs.

[@mikamika4369]

Amazing video and the best training in 30 min

[@jacquelinesmith2994]

I love how much poise and focus you have. This is an amazing class of pure form, I can see how you move from one asana to another very clearly. Thank you!

[@zenblissyoga4996]

I absolutely love practicing with Briohny online, thank you so much for this class Alo!

[@tinyearthcreations2754]

Getting back into yoga after my studio closed due to quarantine. Thank you for a wonderful yoga session!

[@maxineridge4899]

The best instruction I've heard on KZbin so far. Very clear, precise, and safe. Very much enjoyed. Thank you.

[@smashic]

I am glad you stayed with us until after the savasana🙏 what I love about you is instructions you give us as you do yoga with us!

[@urim4070]

This is an amazing Yoga workout! I am going back to it for several years now. Her explanations are so important and give.much more meaning to the workout and Yoga in general, having said that, I do sometimes mute the video and listen to my music (: thank you Bry.

[@mbalsita]

I moved out of LA a year ago after 8 years of living there and there is something very peculiar about California teachers and California yoga flows... this was the closest I've gotten to it. Thank you so much for this practice, I broke a sweat, had wonderful memories of my time out there and I'm looking forward for more videos like this. Namaste. :)

[@femininefamous22]

I don't get the negativity, this was truly amazing. I think I found my teacher and even more I think I know how I want to be as a teacher myself. This made me feel incredibly strong and showed my once again how dynamic and beautiful yoga movements can be. Your explanations helped just the right amount to ease even more into the poses and finally succeed at more advanced poses with the right alignment.

[@jillmortiboys5323]

Really enjoyed this practice, also very much appreciated the clear and concise instructions. Inspired me to challenge myself further. Thank you.

[@JaySinghIsImmature]

Just restarted my practice today ... I used to love this video when traveling ... Now I realize how challenging it is. Looking forward the good ol' days when I didn't putter out so quickly. Thank you, again, for this awesome sequence.

[@whmwjade]

The teacher is actually so pretty , love this video

[@JaySinghIsImmature]

Amazing! This has become my favorite yoga routine at hotel gyms while traveling and unable to get to my regular studio. Great instruction, breathing, and attention to detail. I can't do half of this routine correctly, but am so grateful that you've offered it to us. Thank you! Respect from Canada 🇨🇦 🙏🏽.

[@jayneyp8683]

Your lines are perfection. Really beautiful to watch. It's like the ballet of yoga! :).

[@beardedshadow]

Am a 40+ man, out of shape/overweight. Going to try this tomorrow morning, before work. I think I can do most of these poses. Thanks for the vid.

[@TheVelup]

LOVE THIS! I discovered some breakthroughs with handstand and I just love the way she teaches. I've been practicing regularly for a couple of years now. She's so inspiring to watch and so pleasant to listen to.

[@zenblissyoga4996]

I agree ! I absolutely love practicing with her !

[@vklaus8702]

I learned so much from your classes, because you make such precise instructions. Today I even made my very first headstand with your help!! Thanks a lot!

[@aurelis28]

I just end up doing this and I feel so great! I didn't believe I could be able to do it, I even stopped at some point because I though I really couldn't keep going, but I continued, and now I am so greatful. This was amazing! Briohny is a wonderful instructor and I want more rutines by her, I really loved it. Greetings from Venezuela

[@crazybits9257]

I was a moderately seasoned yogi practicing intermediate to advanced yoga but stopped for 3 years due to demotivation and mental health issues probably related to the pandemic. Been so out of shape that i struggled to get my feet flat on the ground during downward dog but im so happy to be able to do so by the end of the video. Small wins and baby steps. Thank you for sharing this short yet powerful and motivating flow. Thanks for inspiring and being part of my day 1❤

[@isabelfrancis5642]

Despite the slow pace, I was able to generate some heat. Really focusing on strength in this class, I found the mix of upper and lower-body focus very even. Loved the long crow and opportunity for tripod headstand. A half hour is very short, but would have liked a couple more twists which I added in my closing sequence. Really altogether a great class if you only have a half hour. Namaste, Briohny.

[@ashleymullen2999]

The only yoga practice that makes me sweat. And those wonderful hip openers help me release so much trauma I actually cry. Beautifully healing. Thank you

[@shalu_dagar]

Feels like this could be my daily yoga routine and a replacement for tough cardio to add more flexibility to my body

[@zabetheli1]

Thank you for this session! I read my gyms timetable wrong and turned up at the studio with no classes. I decided to practice by myself with this to lead me and I feel a hundred times better for practicing.

[@laragardellini3299]

Briohny is amazing. I love everything. Her talking make me concentrate in the pose. She is super!

[@kenoishi4257]

Amazing intermediate class. Perfect tempo and length. And very very clear instructions throughout. Being a stiff gymer this was a perfect start! Thanks Alo yoga!!

[@nattiivb]

my gosh she is so good- love, love, love

[@nevenas8035]

The best mood changer ever🎉

[@Light_Shield_]

I absolutely loved every second of this practice. I learned so much! I am so excited for my next practice with you guys!!!

[@alyssab7073]

i love how Briohny gave explanation and her good energy :) very clear and strong nice flow!!! thanks for great teaching.

[@camzoyg]

This flow was absolutely amazing. Thank you for guiding me through it with your peaceful and calm advices. I feel grateful and I want to thank you for it. Namaste Briohny, all my love.

[@apl-h3q]

I loved this flow. I had a yoga class last year for my fall semester and I absolutely loved my instructor. We mostly focused on this kind of yoga; vinyasa flow and I find that this is the only yoga that really helps out my anxiety lol Sometimes, she would do a bit more of a meditative practice where we focus on what our body emotionally needed. She challenged us and at times It was hard and i wanted to give up, but she was encouraging but tough at the same time. I was just starting college and, I wasn’t ready to accept the change that comes with graduating. College felt very hard for me; heavy and the practice every time I had class with it’s challenges and the way my body would respond helped me so much. It was like my therapy. I almost wanted to cry sometimes lol and this video is the closest that I’ve found. I love the pace and the practice

[@Aloyoga]

Hi Ash, thank you for sharing your yoga journey. ❤️ We're so glad you're continuing your practice and that this flow resonates with you. 😊

[@apl-h3q]

Alo Yoga Thank you!

[@pamelamichelle3474]

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! Love every min!!!

[@marcochelo1]

So good, clear instructions , great workout, superb teacher,best 30 minutes class out there.

[@audreyd1610]

Thank you so much, it really helped me to calm down emotionnally. I always feel better and less worried after a session, it's like magic to me 🙏🙏 + you are so graceful it's amazing to watch 😍 take care everyone ❤️

[@cecilea6617]

When I consider all the tutorials I follow to learn poses such as Bakasana, and all the scaffolding necessary, I am amazed at the assumptions reflected in this video about what people can do as beginners of the practice with a few instructions that actually rely on months and months of strength/flexibility building, proprioception and general body awareness. Like teaching algebra to people still learning basic calculations. She should just start by saying this is a level 2 and higher session. It can take years to develop the kind of core it takes to hop up as she does, being sure to focus on knees to chest as opposed to flipping up feet, which many newbies will do. Just offer some level 1 videos as well as these advanced ones so people don't hurt themselves.

[@AmyLynnBurch]

Beautiful instruction. Well done!

[@katias3823]

I loved the practice and I love Bri's inspiring comments that make one feel like she's right there in the room with you. Amazing teacher!

[@nathalieos1706]

You touched my soul with this practice. Thank you for guiding me in this beautiful flow.

[@Aloyoga]

That is so sweet! We're so happy to hear it :)

[@fabioferreira8391]

This is a very nice flow from Briohny, easy and powerful at the same time. Great flow!

[@Brancaalice]

She is wonderful instructor, perfect asanas with body.

[@claudiaroques6630]

Love the way she explains everything and loved this sequence. Thanks! I bet she is out of breath at the end from the talking, but I do appreciate all her effort because it takes a lot to do the practice while talking. Love

[@sariahwadsworth6798]

Loved this!! Bri is an awesome teacher!! Please do more!!

[@Rachel_Banner]

I am not usually a fan of yoga. It tends to make me very anxious and tense, so for years I avoided it. But today I decided to give it another shot and I'm very glad I did! This video was so calming that I paused it at the end and just lay on my mat for a few minutes, more relaxed than I've been in a long time. Thank you! I'm ready to take on the day now!

[@aprilespinoza88]

*does mini inversion hop* instructor: "if you found that fun, try it a few more times." me: does it ten more times, almost does a full flip and comes crashing down on laptop LOL

@Darren Thompson thank you

[@chloefox3509]

same thing happened to me hahaa

[@sophiamartin9298]

this is actually how i broke a laptop XD

[@suzanneheyworth9521]

I thought this flow was perfect for what I require at the moment, which is while in a Covid lockdown, something not too long but just enough to do each day to maintain my practice. I thought the instruction was some of the best I had heard in any yoga class, I learnt more than I have by attending my regular studio. Thankyou Briohny :-)
