Yoga Swing Science
Once you learn how to move with the Yoga Swing you will intuitively discover your own swing dynamics. With use you will develop your core body strength and find the Yoga Swing more and more versatile. The power and dexterity running through the centerline of your body will become enhanced and you will find yourself becoming stronger and more flexible through time.
Continual use of the Yoga Swing will show fantastic long term benefits. It awakens your spine, releases the tension in your joints, ligaments and muscles and releases your energy and vitality. For many forms of back pain and muscular tension the Yoga Swing is of tremendous therapeutic benefit. Gravity releases the pressure between discs and allows muscles to lengthen.
Every posture you hold will be assisted by the movement of the Yoga Swing, with the aid of gravity. Practice with control and balance is the aim. Gradually you will become more aware of your centre of gravity.
The breath is linked to motion. As you contract or come up from a sit up or an extension where the muscles are contracting and tightening this is the exhale phase. The inhale is any motion that is a release of the pause or hold of the exercise. The breath is held for as long as you can until you feel a flush of blood to the body or brain and you get the vibe it is time to release.
Enjoy your Yoga Swing and take the time to work your body gently into a routine that will be constantly improving and enhancing your health, strength, flexibility and well-being.

Installation
Set up your Aerial Yoga Swing in just a couple of minutes, in your home or outside. You can use ceiling hooks to attach to support beams, hang it from existing structures, trees, porches, at the gym or studio, wherever there is space and you feel comfortable. Remember to select or create a forgiving surface beneath!
Set the side handles approximately three feet or a metre apart. It’s best to set up first of all on a beam or a branch to get a feel for exactly how far apart you prefer the side handles to be before you chose any permanent setting.
If you are employing ceiling hooks or bolts please install with caution, as these fittings will need to take more than your weight while your are in motion. We advise professional installation of any such weight bearing fittings.
If you are simply wrapping around an existing beam or branch or bar then also be sure that it is sturdy enough.
When you select a horizontal support make sure that it is at least 30 cm higher than the top of your head.
The ropes included with your swing are for the adjustment system. You may also require additional rope to fit to beams or supports.
There are four (4) adjustable positions that you can hook the Yoga Swing side handles to. The side handles are most often placed on the top knot so that the lowest handle becomes a foot stirrup for sky walking and skiing exercises.
The ideal height for the centre section is most often hooked into the knots below the side handle hooks. The lowest position is good for floor work, for example stretching the lumbar area or doing inverted shoulder stands. Hanging free, the centre section should be about hip level. When inverting, make sure your head is free of the floor. Adjust knots either up or down to the height that suits your objective.
The user accepts all risk and all liability while fitting and using the Aerial Yoga Swing so always check the condition of the ropes, especially where they meet another surface or fitting. It’s a good idea to place a cloth or some kind of friction reducing material where the rope meets a beam.
