How do I set up an aerial yoga hammock?
Materials needed:
- Aerial yoga hammock
- Ceiling hooks or support beams
- Carabiner
- Yoga mat
Instructions:
- Find a suitable location: Choose a space with high ceilings (at least 10 feet) and adequate space around the hammock.
- Install ceiling hooks: Screw in two ceiling hooks at a height of 6-8 feet, spaced 4-6 feet apart. Ensure the hooks are securely anchored into a support beam or sturdy ceiling.
- Attach the hammock: Unfold the hammock and loop one end through a carabiner. Clip the carabiner onto one of the ceiling hooks.

- Lay down the yoga mat: Place a yoga mat underneath the hammock for cushioning and support.
Tips:
- If you don't have access to ceiling hooks, you can also attach the hammock to a sturdy tree branch or other support structure.
- Make sure the hammock is taut before practicing to prevent sagging.
- Check the hammock and ceiling hooks regularly for wear and tear.
