Prodigy Multicoloured 6m Aerial Yoga Hammocks - Includes O-rings
Description
Premium UK-certified 6m long, 2.8m wide, low stretch hammocks in a beautiful range of ombre colours. Perfect for the studio or the stage and suitable for aerial yoga and aerial slings.
Supplied with O-rings and a Prodigy bag.
Aerial yoga uses the hammock as a prop and the extra support allows for deep stretches and even inversions of yoga poses. Aerial yoga hammocks are great for developing core strength, flexibility, and spine decompression.
Aerial sling (silks loop/dance hammock) uses the hammock more like an aerial silk, incorporating drops, spinning, and dynamic circus tricks.

Aerial equipment should never be used unsupervised, please consult a professional.
Everything below assumes you have a suitable and safe rigging point, like a professionally installed rigging point or a reputable and rated freestanding rig. Not every home/studio will be the same, so we cannot advise on this part. If you haven’t established a safe rigging point, please do this first with the help of a structural engineer/experienced rigger/professional familiar with what you're hanging and where you're hanging it.
Stretch, invert, and fly!

How to rig these hammocks
We've partnered with Circus Rigging & Safety to create a series of fantastic videos to help you.
Mark Gibson from Aerial Edge, Glasgow’s Circus School, and Catherine Knowles, from Community Circus Paisley, will share their knowledge with you, and if you need to know anything else - we're here to help you too!
How to tie the knot!
No, we don't mean marriage. Here’s our quick guide to tying your hammock to O-rings.
We use this knot because it's easier (but not easy) to untie after using the hammock compared to other knots.
Selvedge
Prodigy Silks are produced in a way that leaves a selvedge marking on either side of the fabric. These show up as a series of slightly darker circles.
As the width is a major feature of these silks, we have elected not to trim these edges.
Please rest assured that this does not affect the strength or durability of the silks.

Can I hang a hammock from my ceiling?
We will always recommend you speak to a professional rigger or structural engineer prior to attempting any installation. They will be able to assess if the ceiling is strong enough to rig from and guide you on how best to do this.
If you would like to know more about home installation, see our blog on Installing Aerial Equipment at Home
How far apart should the two hammock points be?
The two points should be roughly shoulder width. Typically around 50cm.
How high should my hammock be?
We recommend beginners start with the bottom of the hammock around chest to waist height. This will also depend on how stretchy your hammock is and how much space you have available.
More experienced aerialists may want to rig between chest and chin height.
What's the difference between an aerial hammock and yoga hammock?
Our hammocks are suitable for both aerial use, which is typically more dynamic and can include drops, as well as more more static, low to ground work, typically found in aerial yoga.
What's the difference between a hammock and a sling?
A hammock is used for both yoga and aerial hammock work.
Aerial sling (silks loop/dance hammock) uses the hammock more like an aerial silk, incorporating drops, spinning, and dynamic circus tricks.
A hammock can be used as a sling and vice versa.
