By investigating the conservation laws of guiding‐center mechanics, an extension of quasi‐helical static magnetohydrodynamic equilibria to incorporate strong flow is obtained, subject to suitable ordering assumptions. Such equilibria correspond to self‐consistent Fokker‐Planck kinetic equilibria in the presence of a quasi‐helical magnetic field. The effect of small symmetry‐breaking contributions in the magnetic field is investigated.
