BASE UP Pro

The acroyoga wedge pillow that consciously protects your back

The BASE UP Pro is an acroyoga wedge pillow developed together with physiotherapists and experienced acrobats to protect your lower back and improve your technique.

Why you need a wedge pillow at all

If you practice the L-basing technique a lot in acroyoga, the strong flexion in your lumbar spine can damage the vertebral joints. For bases with tight hamstrings, even a few sessions can lead to lasting, irreparable damage.

The BASE UP Pro:

• Protects your spine: By lifting the hips, the pillow reduces pressure on your lower back and prevents injuries.
• Improves your technique: The raised position makes it easier to practise pops and whips and to extend your legs, so washing machines feel lighter.
• Boosts your performance: Better body alignment lets you generate more power in dynamic movements and use your full potential.

Why the BASE UP Pro is the best choice

The BASE UP Pro is far more than a training tool – it is a well-thought-out solution born from a passion for acroyoga.

• Maximum stability & comfort: With 35 cm width, 39.5 cm length and 11 cm height, the platform offers optimal support. The firmer foam core provides a stable base, while the soft top layer protects your sacroiliac joint and spine – a design developed by physiotherapists.
• Secure, unbreakable buckle: We use a sturdy metal buckle, because plastic buckles break easily when you accidentally step on them.
• Indestructible strap: The wider strap is stitched five times and additionally secured with a cross seam, so it won't tear even in the most demanding pops and whips.
• Absolute grip: The underside of the washable cotton cover has anti-slip rubber dots that keep the pillow firmly in place.
• Sustainability: We mainly use recycled foam offcuts from industry. This saves resources and reduces new microplastics that harm our environment in the long run.
• Unbeatable price: The BASE UP Pro is a true passion project. The price is only possible because it was created from the community, for the community – it doesn't have to fund a living.

Frequently asked questions

BASE UP Pro or BASE UP Lite: which one is right for me?

The Pro is 35 cm wide and 11 cm high and gives you the most support for regular training at home or in class. The Lite is 30 cm wide and 8 cm high and fits in a backpack, so it is the better pick for travel, workshops and festivals. Both are 39.5 cm long.

Is a wedge pillow suitable for beginners?

Yes. Raising the hips partly makes up for tight hamstrings, and that is exactly the situation in which L-basing puts the most strain on the lower back.

Can I wash the cover?

Yes. The cotton cover comes off and is washable.

Does the pillow slip on the floor?

No. Anti-slip rubber dots on the underside keep it in place, even during pops and whips.
