**Unlocking Back Whips: From “Forbidden” to “Careful”** 🌪️🔄

Back whips might have earned the title of “forbidden,” but let’s rewrite the narrative! Introducing the “careful whip” because with the right progressions, you’ve got this! 🤸‍♂️💥

Check out these cool progressions and give it a shot. But, and it’s a big BUT, make sure you have a spotter. Falling from this trick can be a wild ride, and we’re all about keeping it safe! 🚧👐

Let’s flip the script, change the game, and ace those careful whips together! 🎉👊

If you would like to learn how to create safe progressions like these ones come join our Teacher Training in Argentina. Comment “Argentina” and we will send you all the info

**The Eternal Spotter: Time for a Community Check-In** 🤸‍♂️👀

Let’s shine a light on an often overlooked aspect of our acro world. Everyone loves nailing that perfect move, but how often do we get caught in the loop of “just one more try!” without considering our spotter’s needs? 🔄

Remember, spotters are a crucial part of our play – they keep us safe and support our growth. But they’re not just safety nets; they’re players too, yearning for their turn to fly and base. 🎈👐

So here’s to playing safe and giving our spotters the appreciation and playtime they deserve! 👏🎉

If you want to improve your acro while addressing aspects like this one come to one of our Teacher Trainings. The next one will be in Argentina and the early bird discount goes until December 1st! Comment “info” and we will send you all the information

Hopefully you already know that prehab is about sustainability and injury prevention

Here is a bit more about why

🐍Joint mobility—use it or lose it, if you want to express your strength through a full range of motion…you need that range

🎾Rolling-Meet with the floor gracefully, use body parts as ramps to spread the absorption of shock/load (hurt less when you fall)

🔀Coordination—washing machines…what!?! Along with this comes reaction time…spotter/base-catch that flyer!

🤼Partner drills—it’s always refreshing to work against someone for a change:)

💪Body weight training—because you’re only as strong as your weakest link

👌Corrective Exercises—we all have “text neck” and could use better positioning!

🙋‍♀️Do you have a sustainability practice alongside your acro practice?

Comment your favourite prehab exercise below!

**We’ve All Been There!** 🤸‍♂️🙈

Miscommunications, hasty decisions, or perhaps missing that crucial spotter... Yup, we’ve all faced those moments! That’s why we’re huge fans of @bestofacrofails. It’s not just for the laughs, but it’s a reminder of the importance of caution and awareness in our practice.

In the same spirit, we at PA are rolling out some enlightening videos 🎥. We’ll break down certain “fails,” pointing out where things could’ve been handled better and applauding what was done right.

Remember, while partner acro is heaps of fun, safety ALWAYS comes first. 🛑 Keen on diving deep into safety-first acrobatics? Join our Teacher Training in Argentina from February 1st to 28th. We’re all about teaching principles that ensure a safe, enjoyable, and sustainable practice for all! 🇦🇷

Did you find value in such videos? Let us know in the comments! 🗣️ And a massive shoutout to David for his insightful explanations. ✋

*Embracing Our Unique Bodies in Acro!*🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️

It’s undeniable - our bodies are beautifully diverse, and naturally, acro tricks must adapt to fit every individual. This is often seen in Icarians, especially when flyers have legs as long or longer than their bases. 🦵✨

For those wrestling with the challenge of throne pops, here’s a golden tip: Use a pillow! We super recommend the ones from @acro_bells
It gives that added space, allowing bases to find that perfect arm placement without compromising the flyer’s position. And the best bit? No technique change needed! 🛏️🚀

Yet, there might be times when even a pillow doesn’t cut it, or perhaps you find yourself without one. Don’t fret! Opt for the bent-legs technique. While it might feel like stepping into a whole new realm, it’s an effective solution, especially for same-size partners. 🔄

Remember, acro isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about finding what works for YOU!
