Beyond The Mat · Made within AcroYoga
More thoughtful support for bases and a dedicated grip for trained spotters. Gear shaped by the people who use it, so you can stay with the movement and each other.
Find your place in the setup
Basing or spotting, start with the part you play.
For the base
When the reps get bigger, your setup matters. Big Poppa brings extra lift, a shaped hip cradle, and layered support to dynamic basing sessions.
For the flyer and two trained spotters
The flyer wears FlyCarian. Two trained spotters use its padded side straps for coordinated hand spotting during selected progressions.
From the practice floor
What AcroBack customers noticed once they brought it into their own sessions.
“I love it and tell everyone how awesome it is. The AcroBack is amazing and has become a must-have for my practice.”
“This was amazing to experience poses together with The AcroBack. It helps a lot for him, and for me as a flyer too.”
“The most compact and travel-friendly acro pillow. Quality materials too.”
A note from the founder
I started basing in Ubud with a back injury and wanted to keep practicing. Ordinary pillows and rolled mats were not giving me the support I needed, so I cut a simple foam wedge for myself.
I brought it to jams, listened to the people who tried it, and kept refining the shape, foam, and details. That little wedge became The AcroBack, and eventually Beyond The Mat.

The people behind the practice
The extra try, the hand that spots, the friends who stay. This is the practice we make gear for.
Stories from the practice
Where it all started
The original compact AcroBack still has a place in the bag. Bring it to class, a jam, or a festival for the familiar support many AcroYogis choose for everyday L-basing.
