AERIAL YOGA – FAQs
For beginners, a high-quality aerial yoga hammock made of 100% nylon, with a width of 2.80 m and a length of 4 m, is the best choice. In addition to the right dimensions, the material quality, tear resistance, and elasticity of the fabric are crucial for comfortable and safe practice.
A good aerial yoga hammock should be stretchy in width (cross-stretch) but as non-stretch as possible in length. This allows the fabric to fit comfortably against the body, dig in less, and not stretch unnecessarily downwards under load. This is particularly important for inversions and exercises where you hang upside down in the hammock.
Also pay attention to the fabric density and tear resistance: Some particularly inexpensive aerial yoga hammocks are made of thinner material. This can affect their durability and longevity. A fabric density of around 40 DEN has proven to be a good guideline for aerial yoga hammocks. It offers a balanced combination of a pleasant feel, flexibility, and robustness.
Our buying recommendation: Choose a nylon hammock specifically designed for aerial yoga, with a width of 2.80 m, a length of 4 m, around 40 DEN, good cross-stretch, and high longitudinal stability. This will give you a durable hammock that can support you from your first attempt to more advanced exercises. You can find exactly this at Yogalaxy.
You can find high-quality aerial yoga silks from specialized German retailers such as Yogalaxy® and Yogaluft®. When purchasing, pay particular attention to tear-resistant, substance-tested material, high-quality workmanship, certified load capacity, and the appropriate mounting accessories.
The provider's experience is another important quality differentiator: shops whose owners teach aerial yoga themselves and have practical experience can usually offer particularly expert advice. This is exactly what sets Yogalaxy® and Yogaluft® apart. Here, you get not only an aerial yoga silk, but also personal advice, in-depth expertise, and support in choosing the right suspension system.
If you want to buy a high-quality aerial yoga hammock, you should expect to pay around 110 to 150 euros for a single hammock. For a complete aerial yoga set including mounting accessories such as round slings, carabiners, and daisy chains, prices usually range between 140 and 250 euros.
Pay particular attention to the material quality, tear resistance, workmanship, size, and elasticity of the hammock, as well as the included accessories. Particularly inexpensive hammocks are sometimes made of thinner material and can show noticeable differences in durability, quality, and longevity.
Our recommendation: Do not look only for the lowest price. A high-quality aerial yoga hammock made of tear-resistant nylon with pleasant cross-elasticity and low longitudinal stretch is a long-term investment. A complete set also offers you the advantage of having the right accessories right there with it.
For children, a high-quality aerial yoga hammock in the standard size of approximately 4 m in length and 2.80 m in width is suitable. So you don't need a special children's hammock. Children and adults can use the same hammock size.
Children love aerial yoga because they can swing, spin, climb, hang upside down, or snuggle up comfortably in the hammock. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to tear-resistant material, good load-bearing capacity, and certified non-toxic quality when purchasing.
A professionally installed suspension system designed for the loads involved is particularly important. Children should use the aerial yoga hammock exclusively under adult supervision.
Our recommendation: Choose a high-quality aerial yoga hammock in standard size. This way, children and adults can use the same hammock and discover the joy of aerial yoga together.
You can attach your aerial yoga hammock to either one or two ceiling hooks. Both options have their advantages and differ mainly in how the hammock behaves when swinging and spinning.
Hanging from one hook: With a single attachment point, the hammock can spin freely 360 degrees. This creates a particularly cozy, cocoon-like feeling. This option is especially popular with children who enjoy swinging, spinning, and playing in the hammock.
Hanging from two hooks: With two attachment points, the direction of the swing is predetermined. The hammock can still move and spin, but in a more controlled and less intense way. This method of attachment is particularly well suited for classic aerial yoga exercises.
Our recommendation: Initially plan your ceiling installation with two hooks spaced about 35–50 cm apart. This will give you many training options. If you prefer to spin the hammock freely or cozy up inside it, you can always hang it from a single hook.
Most living spaces have a ceiling height of approximately 2.40 to 3.20 m. Therefore, we recommend an aerial yoga hammock with a length of 4 meters. In our experience, this length has proven particularly effective, as it provides enough fabric for a variety of exercises without an unnecessary amount of excess material hanging down.
A 4-meter-long hammock is also easy to handle, wash, and store compactly. You can easily take it with you on vacation or to the gym and yoga studio.
Even with higher ceilings, you do not necessarily need to buy a longer hammock. We recommend hanging a 4-meter-long aerial yoga hammock with suitable extensions, such as daisy chains. This allows you to adjust the hanging height flexibly. This is particularly convenient if you want to change the height regularly, as you do not have to climb up a tall ladder every time to reattach the hammock.
Our recommendation: A 4-meter-long aerial yoga hammock is the most practical choice for most applications. With higher ceilings, you can easily compensate for the missing height using suitable extensions.
You want to hang up your aerial yoga hammock and are wondering how it is attached? An aerial yoga hammock is typically attached to two suitable swing hooks mounted in a load-bearing ceiling. The hammock itself is tied with two round slings. Then it is attached to the swing hooks with two daisy chains and two carabiners.
As an alternative, sturdy wooden beams, suitable swing frames, or strong trees in the garden are also suitable. The important thing is always that the entire suspension system is designed for the loads involved.
