How to Tie an Aerial Yoga Hammock
To tie your aerial yoga hammock, follow these steps:
- Fold the hammock so that the cutting edges of the fabric ends lie evenly on top of each other. In other words, bundle the short sides of the hammock together like an accordion.
- Wrap a binding loop twice around each gathered end of the hammock (so-called Prusik knot, see series of pictures).
- TIP: Start at one end of the fabric. Attach both slings next to each other, using the described account technique.
- Then pull one sling over to the other end of the fabric. This way you can assume that the fabric is tied evenly.
- For safety reasons, leave at least 15 cm of fabric hanging out of the binding loops.
- Now tighten the round slings really well.
- Then, use carabiners and daisy chains to hang the sling from the swing hooks in the ceiling.
- RECOMMENDATION: The swing hooks should be placed with a distance of about 35-50 cm (shoulder width). This way the swing hooks give the direction of the swing.
How to Hang Your Aerial Yoga Hammock to Ceiling Hooks
Our customers often ask about the best distance for installing their aerial yoga hammock. We recommend mounting the hammock on two ceiling hooks with a shoulder-width distance between them. The following spacing guidelines apply as a general reference. The diagram also shows the recommended distance from the wall. The same measurements apply if you are installing multiple aerial yoga hammocks side by side.
Tips for Ceiling Hooks for Home Use
If you want to install your aerial yoga hammock at home, you will need two sturdy ceiling hooks and two suitable wall plugs. These are available at any hardware store at an affordable price.
- Ensure that the ceiling hooks are at least 160 mm long and have a diameter of more than 10 mm.
- We also recommend choosing ceiling hooks with a safety latch (see below).
How to Wash Your Aerial Yoga Hammock
Your aerial yoga hammock is machine washable under the following conditions:
✅ Remove all accessories before washing.
✅ Use a gentle cycle with a maximum temperature of 30°C.
✅ Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softener.
✅ Wash the hammock separately to prevent zippers or other clothing parts from causing snags or holes.
✅ Air dry your aerial yoga hammock to ensure long-lasting durability.
