These aerial yoga hammocks measure 6m x 2.8m so are shorter and much wider than normal silks as they are designed to be hung low from an aerial yoga rig or ceiling point. Some companies sell 1.6m wide aerial silks as hammocks however you will find the narrow width of silks is not sufficient for aerial yoga. The recommended minimum width for aerial yoga is 2.8m, and this is the only size hammock we sell.Yoga hammocks are used to support your body weight allowing you to achieve deep stretches and other yoga postures in a more relaxing way with a reduced chance of injury.
