Top 5 Tips For Basing - AcroYoga

Top 5 tips for basing in AcroYoga. There are so many tips that can improve basing in Acro, they can’t all fit into a single top 5 list. So, here are OUR top 5 tips for bases to focus on (with a couple of bonus tips in this text). 1. Centering - Want longevity in your day to day practice? In every pose explore where to hold your flyer and find out where is the easiest for you. This location will depend on your strength, flexibility, how your flyer holds themselves and your base-flyer proportions. Why is this good? Two main reasons: 1. Your acro will become easier in terms of energy output. 2. You will always have a reserve range of motion (and strength) to deal with wriggly flyers and falls. 2. Don’t take away points of contact - What!? Surely that does not make sense? In fact it makes the system far more stable to practice this (as a base). Instead of taking away points of contact, wait for the flyer to lift off. This way, when you take away your foot (hand, elbow, shin…) the entire system is ready for it and stability will be omnipresent in your practice. 3. Delivery - It is really easy as a base to lose focus on the foot (point of contact) the flyer is coming off. Make sure to stay present with the foot, keep it helping through the move until the end. 4. Treadmilling - As a base you are a human pretending to be a treadmill. The flyer is always trying to roll off your feet (point(s) of contact), they do it in some pretty imaginary ways. Your job is to be responsive to them, allowing them to roll in all directions while keeping their center of mass over yours. 5. Inversion & Eversion - This is a really handy bit of technique for 2 reasons: 1. It can dramatically improve the comfort of the flyer. No one wants to be in side star balancing on a knife edge. 2. When playing with no hands acro, inversion & eversion are used to balance the flyer. 6. Go slow - This applies to both flyer and base, and in ALL transitions. See just how slowly you can do a move, break it down into the components that make it tick (pun intentional). The slower you do a move the more understanding you and your body will have of it. 7. Communicate - Just like everything in life, you can improve upon it. Be clear, direct, and factual (succinct) - Let your flyer know: that you have them, that you don’t have them, that you are close to your limit, what you want from them, what you don’t want from them, what you liked/appreciated, what you didn’t like, what you want to try changing (even if it might not work), that you have no idea how to do something etc. 8. If you have not already, make good use of the word “down”. If this word is said, the very next thing is for the flyer to come down to their feet (where possible). It should be a common, judgement free word that is regularly used. Reasons for use: about to drop, foot hurts, don’t like the move, aren't ready for the move, need a pee, want to talk about the next iteration of the move… the list is endless. These are the tips we use in our practice, they allow us to do some awesome hands free flows in a safe way. We hope they help you out too, enjoy :) Natalia & Joshua, Acro Nerds Teaching at the International Acro Convention - May 2021:   / 718432512020376   Hands free retreats will be announced soon. www.acronerds.org #AcroYoga #top5tips #tutorial
