Prodigy Aerial Sling - Low Stretch - 280cm Width - Includes O-rings
Description
Prodigy aerial slings (also known as silk slings, silk loops, and silk hammocks) are rigged as a hammock and are a fun and accessible way to combine trapeze and silk skills.
While distinct from aerial yoga, aerial sling practice is more dynamic and needs more height, there is a crossover between the disciplines, and you can use aerial sling for your yoga practice too!
The fabric is the same low stretch, 2.8m (110") wide used for Prodigy Aerial Silk and Yoga Hammocks.
The O-rings are included.

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.

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.
